AndroStart - Men's Initial Baseline TRT Panel

A comprehensive starting point for men exploring testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or wanting a full-body checkup. This panel covers essential hormone levels like Total and Free Testosterone, Estradiol, LH, FSH, and DHEA-S, which play a role in muscle mass, libido, mood, and fertility. It also checks Cortisol to understand your stress response and SHBG to see how much hormone is bioavailable. Thyroid markers like TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 assess metabolism and energy. A full liver panel and lipid panel evaluate how well your body processes fats and detoxifies. PSA is included to screen for prostate health. Together, these labs provide the clinical insight needed to safely start or consider hormone therapy, while giving you a baseline for performance and longevity.

Test Details

Hormones

Total Testosterone
Measures the total amount of testosterone in your blood, including both bound and unbound forms. Important for energy, muscle mass, mood, and libido.

Free Testosterone
Tracks the active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. This is the testosterone your body can actually use.

SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
A protein that binds to sex hormones like testosterone. High SHBG can lower the amount of free, usable testosterone.

Estradiol
A form of estrogen that men also produce in small amounts. Too much can cause fatigue, weight gain, or mood changes.

LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
Signals your testes to produce testosterone. Low levels may indicate an issue with hormone signaling from your brain.

FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
Supports sperm production. Can also help uncover causes of low testosterone or fertility issues.

DHEA-S
A hormone made by your adrenal glands that helps make other sex hormones. Levels naturally decline with age but can affect mood and energy.

Cortisol
Your main stress hormone. Imbalances can disrupt testosterone production, sleep, and metabolism.

Thyroid Function

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
Produced by your brain to tell your thyroid how hard to work. Too high or too low can signal an underactive or overactive thyroid.

Free T3 (Triiodothyronine)
The active thyroid hormone that affects metabolism, mood, and energy. Low levels can mean sluggish thyroid function.

Free T4 (Thyroxine)
The storage form of thyroid hormone. Your body converts T4 into T3 as needed. Helps assess how well your thyroid is producing hormones.

Liver Function

ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)
An enzyme found in the liver. High levels may indicate liver stress, inflammation, or damage.

AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)
Another enzyme that helps evaluate liver health. Often checked with ALT to detect liver conditions.

GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase)
Elevated GGT can signal liver or bile duct issues and may reflect alcohol use or medication effects.

Bilirubin
A substance created during red blood cell breakdown. High levels can point to liver function issues or bile duct blockage.

Cholesterol

Total Cholesterol
Measures all cholesterol in your blood. Important for assessing heart health risk.

HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein)
The “good” cholesterol that helps remove excess cholesterol from your bloodstream.

LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein)
The “bad” cholesterol that can build up in arteries. High levels increase the risk of heart disease.

Triglycerides
A type of fat in the blood. Elevated levels can raise your risk of heart disease and metabolic problems.

Prostate Health

PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
A protein produced by the prostate. Elevated levels can signal inflammation, enlargement, or potential prostate issues.
