Limitless Male Athlete Panel

Hormones

1. Testosterone (free and total) (LC/MS): Vital for muscle mass, bone density, and sex drive. This testing method utilizes Liquid Chromatography + Mass Spectroscopy (LC/MS) 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.
2. 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 (LC/MS) to give a far more accurate result than traditional assays that most companies use.
3. Progesterone: A steroid hormone that serves as a building block for other hormones, including testosterone, and plays a role in reproductive and neurological function.
4. Cortisol: Although it is known as the stress hormone, a better description is “daytime regulation and energy hormone”. It has many functions including regulating blood sugar, metabolism, inflammation, and it can also limit bone and muscle growth.
5. DHEA Sulfate: Helps produce other hormones, including testosterone and estrogen.

Metabolism

1. Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: Includes 14 biomarkers to test kidney and liver function, blood sugar levels, and electrolyte balance.

Thyroid

1. TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): Regulates thyroid function. This is the signal from the brain to the thyroid gland.
2. Thyroxine (T4) Free, Direct: The main hormone produced by the thyroid gland, precursor to T3.
3. Triiodothyronine (T3), Free: The active form of thyroid hormone that helps maintain metabolism and energy levels among many other functions.
4. Reverse T3: An inactive form of thyroid hormone made from T4. It can provide insight into how the body is converting and metabolizing thyroid hormones.

Diabetes Risk

1. Hb A1c with eAG Estimation: Estimates average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. eAG is an estimate of your average glucose level.
2. Insulin: Hormone that moves glucose into cells. Higher levels can indicate insulin resistance.

Nutrition and Anemia

1. Vitamin D: A steroid hormone that regulates calcium (essential for bone health), supports immune function, and is even a weak myostatin inhibitor.
2. Complete Blood Cell (CBC) report: This test counts the different types of cells in your blood, like red blood cells (carry oxygen), white blood cells (fight infection), and platelets (help stop bleeding).
3. Ferritin: Shows how much iron is stored in your body. Low levels may mean you’re low on iron.

Cardiac Health

1. Lipid panel: Provides information about lipoproteins and triglycerides which are commonly known as “cholesterol.”
2. C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP): A nonspecific marker of inflammation that can rise with poor diet quality, oxidative stress, or some chronic medical conditions. Useful for assessing how health conditions, nutrition, and lifestyle factors impact overall inflammatory status.
