What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing low energy, reduced motivation, difficulty building or maintaining muscle mass, or changes in sexual function. It helps identify whether your testosterone levels are contributing to these symptoms, which many men face as they age or due to lifestyle factors. This test provides concrete answers about your hormone levels so you can take action to improve your vitality and overall health.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your testosterone level means for your energy, muscle mass, mood, and sexual health. These notes include personalized recommendations like lifestyle changes, supplement suggestions, whether you should consider hormone therapy, or if further testing is needed. 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 panel measures Testosterone, Total, Males (Adult), IA. This test measures your total testosterone level, which is the primary male hormone responsible for energy, muscle mass, bone density, sex drive, and overall vitality. Testosterone assessment helps identify hormonal imbalances that may be causing fatigue, reduced physical performance, mood changes, or sexual dysfunction. This measurement provides crucial insight into your masculine health and whether your symptoms are hormone-related.

How should I prepare for this test?

This test requires a morning blood draw between 8:00-10:00 a.m. when testosterone levels are highest, and it's recommended to test on two different mornings for accuracy. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inner elbow area for 24 hours before testing as it can affect results. Stop taking biotin supplements at least 72 hours before your test, as high doses can interfere with accuracy.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is ideal for men experiencing unexplained fatigue, difficulty gaining or maintaining muscle mass, reduced sex drive, or erectile dysfunction. It's also important for men over 40 who want to establish a baseline for their hormone levels, athletes monitoring their performance and recovery, or anyone concerned about symptoms that might be related to low testosterone.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms of low testosterone include persistent fatigue even with adequate sleep, decreased motivation and drive, difficulty building muscle despite regular exercise, increased body fat especially around the midsection, reduced sex drive, and mood changes like irritability or feeling down. You might also notice reduced physical performance, slower recovery from workouts, or difficulty concentrating.

How can I naturally support my testosterone levels?

Supporting healthy testosterone starts with regular resistance training and high-intensity exercise, which naturally stimulates hormone production. Prioritize 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night and manage stress through meditation or relaxation techniques, as chronic stress and poor sleep lower testosterone. Include zinc and magnesium-rich foods like oysters, beef, pumpkin seeds, and spinach, maintain a healthy body weight, and limit alcohol consumption.

What does low testosterone mean?

Low testosterone, often called low T, means your body isn't producing enough of this essential hormone, which can affect multiple aspects of your health. It commonly leads to decreased energy and motivation, reduced muscle mass and strength, increased body fat, lower sex drive, and mood changes. While testosterone naturally declines with age, significantly low levels may benefit from lifestyle changes or medical intervention.

What causes low testosterone?

Low testosterone can result from natural aging (levels typically decline after age 30), chronic stress, poor sleep quality, excess body fat, and lack of exercise. Medical conditions like obesity, diabetes, thyroid disorders, and certain medications can also lower testosterone. Lifestyle factors including excessive alcohol consumption, inadequate nutrition, overtraining, and environmental toxins may contribute as well.

How often should I retest my testosterone levels?

If you're being treated for low testosterone with therapy or lifestyle changes, retesting every 3-6 months initially helps monitor your progress and adjust your approach. Once levels stabilize, annual testing is common for ongoing monitoring. If you're testing for the first time and results are normal but symptoms persist, consider retesting in 6 months, as testosterone levels can fluctuate based on stress, sleep, and other factors.
