Testosterone (free and total) (LC/MS): Vital for muscle mass, bone density, and sex drive — It makes effort feel good. This testing method utilizes Liquid Chromatography + Mass Spectroscopy (LCMS) to give a far more accurate result than traditional assays that most companies use. Free testosterone provides the most accurate estimate of how much testosterone is actually available.
Estradiol (LC/MS): Important for reproductive and sexual health. It also helps protect and build bone mass. This testing method utilizes Liquid Chromatography + Mass Spectroscopy (LCMS) to give a far more accurate result than traditional assays that most companies use.
Progesterone: Crucial for menstrual cycle regulation and pregnancy. It can also convert to important progestogenic neurosteroid hormones (allopregnanolone and isoallopregnanolone), which aid with relaxation and sleep via GABA and other receptors.
DHEA Sulfate: Helps produce other hormones, including testosterone and estrogen.
Prolactin: Stimulates milk production. Dopamine levels can decrease prolactin. High prolactin can decrease testosterone and estradiol. Prolactin spikes can make you feel sluggish.
IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1): Plays a role in growth and development.
LH and FSH: Pituitary hormones that regulate hormones that help control puberty, fertility, and sex hormone production. FSH stimulates egg or sperm production, while LH triggers ovulation and testosterone release.
