Test Details

Hormones

Total Testosterone
Measures the total amount of testosterone in your blood. While often thought of as a male hormone, it also plays an important role in energy, libido, and mood in women.

Estradiol
The primary form of estrogen in premenopausal women. It’s essential for regulating the menstrual cycle, fertility, bone health, and mood.

Progesterone
A key hormone in the second half of the menstrual cycle; supports pregnancy and helps balance the effects of estrogen.

SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin)
A protein that binds to sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, affecting how much is available to your body’s tissues.

FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)
Regulates ovarian function and egg development; helps assess fertility and menopausal status.

LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
Works with FSH to regulate the menstrual cycle and ovulation; important for understanding fertility and hormone imbalances.

DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate)
A hormone involved in producing other sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone; imbalances may affect energy, mood, and aging.

Cortisol
Known as the stress hormone, it plays a role in metabolism, inflammation, and your body’s response to stress. Chronic imbalance can impact energy, weight, and sleep.

Thyroid Function

TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)
Signals your thyroid to produce hormones. Abnormal levels can indicate an underactive or overactive thyroid.

Free T3 (Triiodothyronine)
The active form of thyroid hormone; affects energy levels, metabolism, and body temperature.

Free T4 (Thyroxine)
The primary hormone produced by the thyroid; important for regulating metabolism and overall energy balance.

Liver Function

ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)
An enzyme that helps assess liver health; elevated levels may indicate inflammation or damage.

AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)
Works with ALT to evaluate liver function; also found in other organs like the heart and muscles.

GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase)
Helps detect bile duct problems and can signal alcohol-related liver stress.

Bilirubin
A pigment made during the breakdown of red blood cells; high levels may point to liver or gallbladder issues.

Cholesterol

Total Cholesterol
A measure of all cholesterol types in your blood, used to assess heart health.

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

LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein)
The “bad” cholesterol that can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries and increase heart disease risk.

Triglycerides
A type of fat in your blood; elevated levels are linked to an increased risk of heart disease and insulin resistance.
