What we test for in our initial test
Estradiol
Estradiol is the main form of estrogen in people assigned female at birth (AFAB) and is produced by the ovaries. It is one of the main sex hormones responsible for ovulation, which is vital to reproductive health and pregnancy in people who can get pregnant. After menopause, levels of estradiol decline significantly. Estradiol also plays a role in the development of bones and female-associated secondary sex characteristics development, as well as the optimal functioning of the brain and reproductive system.
Progesterone
Progesterone helps to maintain the endometrium, or lining of the uterus, and helps to support pregnancy. When an individual enters menopause and ovarian function declines, progesterone production significantly decreases.
Cortisol
Cortisol is produced in the adrenal glands and is released in response to stressors like illness and exercise. Cortisol is often referred to as your body’s “stress hormone,” but it has many roles in the body, including helping to control blood sugar levels and regulating energy metabolism. In most people, cortisol levels peak in the morning and are lowest in the middle of the night. Your sample is collected 4 times throughout the day, and your results will reflect your cortisol levels during those times.
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone
Thyroid-stimulating hormone, or TSH, is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that is responsible for controlling the production of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 by the thyroid gland. The hormone TSH is considered the most sensitive marker for screening for thyroid diseases and conditions.
Total Testosterone
In people assigned female at birth (AFAB), testosterone is primarily produced by the ovaries, with a small amount produced by the adrenal glands. A large portion of this testosterone is converted to estrogen by an enzyme called aromatase. Total Testosterone is a measurement of both free testosterone and testosterone that is bound to the proteins albumin and sex hormone-binding globulin in the blood. While commonly regarded as a male sex hormone, testosterone is important for bone density, libido, body fat distribution, and supporting muscle mass across all sexes.
DHEAS
DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, is an androgen hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands, but in people assigned female at birth (AFAB), a small amount is also produced by the ovaries. It is a precursor to some other hormones in the body, such as testosterone and estrogen. Most DHEA circulates in the blood attached to a sulfate group and is called DHEA-S, which is the form measured by this test.
