What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing persistent fatigue, unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight, mood swings, or low energy levels. It helps identify hormone imbalances affecting your thyroid, sex hormones, and stress response, as well as metabolic issues with blood sugar, cholesterol, and organ function. Many people use this test when they suspect something is off with their hormones or metabolism but want concrete answers before taking next steps.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone and metabolic levels mean for your energy, weight, and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations like lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, supplement suggestions, or whether you should consider hormone therapy or follow up with a specialist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your hormone levels and metabolic markers over time using our trends feature to see how your interventions are working.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Free and Total Testosterone, Estradiol, TSH, Free T4 Index, T3 Uptake, T4, Cortisol, Glucose, Hemoglobin A1c, Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, C-Reactive Protein, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D (25-OH D2, D3, and Total), Complete Blood Count (CBC) with differential, and Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (including liver enzymes, kidney function, electrolytes, and eGFR). This comprehensive panel evaluates your sex hormones (testosterone and estradiol), which impact energy, mood, weight, and muscle mass. It checks thyroid function to identify causes of unexplained weight changes and fatigue, measures cortisol to assess stress response, and monitors blood sugar control through glucose and hemoglobin A1c. The panel also assesses cardiovascular health through lipid markers, inflammation via CRP, vitamin levels (B12 and D), and complete metabolic and blood count profiles to evaluate organ function.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, consuming only water during this time. If you use testosterone cream, avoid rubbing it into the inner elbow area for at least 24 hours before testing as it can affect results. Note that if you're taking prednisone or prednisolone, it may interfere with the cortisol test. Results typically take about 10 business days, though confirmation testing may extend this timeframe.

When will I get my results?

You can expect your results in approximately 10 business days after your blood sample is collected. In some cases, if confirmation testing is required for any biomarker, the turnaround time may be slightly longer. You'll be notified as soon as your complete results are ready, along with doctor notes explaining what your numbers mean.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is perfect for anyone experiencing persistent fatigue, unexplained weight changes, difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise, low libido, mood swings, or feeling stressed and overwhelmed. It's also valuable for people who want to understand their baseline hormone and metabolic health, those with a family history of thyroid or metabolic conditions, or anyone seeking a comprehensive view of what might be affecting their energy and vitality.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include feeling tired all the time despite adequate sleep, struggling to lose weight or experiencing unexplained weight gain, feeling cold frequently, brain fog or difficulty concentrating, mood changes or irritability, low sex drive, irregular periods in women, difficulty building muscle, feeling constantly stressed or anxious, or noticing changes in hair, skin, or nail health. If you're experiencing several of these symptoms, this comprehensive panel can help identify the underlying cause.

How can I naturally support my hormone balance?

Supporting hormone balance starts with prioritizing 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night, as sleep is when many hormones are produced and regulated. Regular exercise combining both strength training and cardio helps balance testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol levels. Managing stress through meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises can reduce cortisol and support thyroid function. Eating a balanced diet with adequate protein, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables, while limiting processed foods and sugar, provides the building blocks your body needs for hormone production.

What does high cortisol mean?

High cortisol typically indicates your body is under chronic stress, whether from emotional stress, lack of sleep, overtraining, or other factors. Elevated cortisol can contribute to weight gain (especially around the midsection), difficulty sleeping, elevated blood sugar, weakened immune function, and feelings of anxiety or being wired but tired. Long-term high cortisol can also suppress other hormones like thyroid and sex hormones.

How often should I retest my hormone levels?

If you're starting new treatments or making lifestyle changes to address hormone imbalances, retesting in 3-6 months helps track your progress and adjust your approach. If you're monitoring a known condition or taking hormone replacement therapy, your healthcare provider may recommend testing every 3-6 months initially, then every 6-12 months once stable. For general wellness monitoring, an annual check is reasonable to catch any changes early.
