What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing low energy, difficulty building or maintaining muscle, mood swings, decreased motivation, or changes in your sex drive. It helps identify whether your testosterone levels are contributing to these symptoms by measuring not just total testosterone, but also the active forms your body can actually use. Many men use this test when they suspect hormonal imbalance but want precise measurements before considering treatment options.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your testosterone levels mean for your energy, muscle mass, mood, and overall vitality. These notes include personalized recommendations like lifestyle changes, exercise modifications, supplement suggestions, or whether you should consider testosterone therapy. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your testosterone levels over time using our trends feature to see how your interventions are working.

What's included in this test?

This comprehensive panel measures Total Testosterone (the overall amount in your blood), Free Testosterone (the active form immediately available to your body), Bioavailable Testosterone (testosterone that's either free or weakly bound and can become active), Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (the protein that binds testosterone), and Albumin (another binding protein). Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of your testosterone status, helping identify whether low energy or poor muscle growth is truly hormone-related. This is more accurate than measuring total testosterone alone, since it shows how much testosterone your body can actually use.

How should I prepare for this test?

If you're using a testosterone cream, make sure you haven't applied any to the inner elbow area of your arm for at least 24 hours before your blood draw, as this can artificially elevate your results. Otherwise, no special preparation is required. The test uses advanced LC/MS/MS technology for the most accurate testosterone measurement available.

When will I get my results?

Your results will be available in approximately 7 business days. In some cases, if confirmation testing is needed to ensure accuracy, it may take a bit longer. You'll be notified as soon as your results are ready to view.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is perfect for men experiencing symptoms like persistent fatigue, difficulty gaining muscle despite working out, unexplained weight gain, mood changes, or decreased libido. It's also valuable for men already on testosterone therapy who need precise monitoring, athletes optimizing performance, or anyone over 35 wanting to establish a baseline for future comparison.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include feeling tired even after adequate sleep, loss of motivation or drive, difficulty building or maintaining muscle mass, increased body fat especially around the midsection, reduced sex drive, mood swings or irritability, and brain fog. If you're experiencing several of these symptoms together, it may be worth checking your testosterone levels.

How can I naturally support healthy testosterone levels?

Focus on resistance training and compound exercises like squats and deadlifts, which naturally boost testosterone production. Prioritize 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night, as testosterone is primarily produced during sleep. Include zinc and magnesium-rich foods like oysters, beef, pumpkin seeds, and spinach, maintain a healthy body weight, manage stress through meditation or yoga, and limit alcohol consumption.

What does low testosterone mean?

Low testosterone means your body isn't producing enough of this key hormone, which can affect energy, muscle mass, fat distribution, mood, and sexual function. While testosterone naturally declines with age, levels that are too low can significantly impact quality of life. The good news is that low testosterone can often be addressed through lifestyle changes, and when needed, medical treatment options are available.

How often should I retest my testosterone levels?

If you're making lifestyle changes to improve testosterone, retesting in 3-6 months helps you see if your efforts are working. If you're on testosterone replacement therapy, your doctor will typically want to check levels every 3-6 months initially, then every 6-12 months once stable. For general health monitoring, annual testing is reasonable for men over 35 or those with symptoms.
