Most Common Hormones Tested
Estradiol
Estradiol is a form of estrogen that plays a crucial role in reproductive health, bone density, and cardiovascular function. Testing estradiol levels is important to assess hormonal balance, evaluate fertility, diagnose menopause, monitor hormone replacement therapy, and determine the risk of certain health conditions, such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases.
Progesterone
Progesterone is a hormone involved in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. In menopausal women, it helps alleviate symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings. It also promotes better sleep by exerting a calming effect and reduces anxiety by counteracting the effects of stress hormones and promoting a sense of relaxation. Testing progesterone levels helps to manage symptoms effectively.
Testosterone
Testosterone is important for both body and brain functions. It contributes to muscle development, bone health, libido, cognitive function, mood regulation, and more. Testing testosterone levels is important to assess hormonal balance, diagnose hormonal disorders, address symptoms, and optimize overall physical and mental well-being.
DHEAs
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a precursor hormone that plays a role in hormone production and has potential impacts on physical and mental well-being. Testing DHEA levels can provide insights into hormonal balance and guide treatment plans, as imbalances may be associated with issues like adrenal fatigue, mood disorders, and overall vitality.
Cortisol
Cortisol is a hormone that regulates stress response, metabolism, immune function, and more. Understanding cortisol levels throughout the day is crucial for assessing the body’s circadian rhythm, diagnosing adrenal disorders, managing stress-related conditions, and optimizing health. Cortisol can also affect sleep patterns, digestion, cardiovascular health, mood, and cognitive function.
Additional Hormone Levels That Are Important To Understand In The Body
Thyroid Function
The thyroid gland produces hormones (T3 and T4) that regulate metabolism, growth, and development. Knowing the values of these hormones is crucial to assess thyroid function, diagnose conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, guide treatment, manage weight, energy levels, mood, and ensure overall metabolic balance and optimal health.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D3 plays a vital role in calcium absorption, bone health, immune function, and regulation of genes. Knowing personal vitamin D3 levels is valuable as deficiency can lead to weak bones, impaired immune system, mood disorders, and other health issues. It helps guide supplementation and ensure optimal vitamin D status for overall well-being.
Blood Sugar
Blood sugar (glucose) serves as the primary source of energy for the body. Hormones like insulin and glucagon regulate blood sugar levels. Knowing your blood sugar levels is important to manage conditions like diabetes, assess insulin sensitivity, maintain energy levels, and promote overall metabolic health. It helps guide lifestyle choices, medication management, and dietary adjustments.
