Energy, drive, mood, sleep, strength, focus. So much of how a man feels day to day comes back to hormones working together in the right balance. When something's off, the symptoms are often vague: tired but wired, softer in the middle, flatter in mood, less interested in things that used to light you up. A standard physical rarely looks deep enough to explain why.
This panel gives you a thorough baseline of the hormones that matter most for adult men, so you can stop guessing and start with real data.
Any adult man who wants a thorough baseline of his hormone health.
Especially useful if you're noticing changes in energy, libido, mood, recovery, or body composition, or if you simply want a clear picture of where your hormones stand. Also valuable as a baseline for men who are optimizing their health proactively.
A standard testosterone check tells you one number. This panel tells you the full story. Total testosterone, the free and bioavailable portions that actually reach your tissues, the conversion products like DHT and estradiol, the signals from the brain that direct the testosterone production, and the adrenal and pituitary markers that complete the picture.
It also includes PSA, a baseline prostate marker worth tracking earlier than most men are told to start.
Testosterone, total, free, and bioavailable. The full picture of your testosterone status, not just the number most labs report. Total testosterone alone can miss what's actually available to your body.
DHT (dihydrotestosterone). A more potent form of testosterone that influences libido, hair, and prostate health.
Estradiol (ultrasensitive). Yes, men need estrogen too, and the balance between testosterone and estradiol matters as much as either number alone.
DHEA-sulfate. An adrenal hormone that reflects stress resilience and serves as a building block for other hormones.
FSH and LH. Signals from the brain that direct testosterone production. These help distinguish where a hormone issue is coming from.
Prolactin. Often overlooked, but elevated levels can quietly drive low libido, fatigue, and mood changes.
PSA (total, with reflex to free PSA if needed). A baseline prostate health marker, important for any man over 40 and worth knowing earlier.
Numbers on a page are data, not a diagnosis or a treatment plan. The same testosterone level can mean very different things depending on your symptoms, your stage of life, and the rest of your picture.
If you'd like help understanding what your results mean, you have options.
For residents of Virginia, Maryland, DC, and Delaware, you can book an interpretation visit with Discreet Health for a clear, educational walk-through of your numbers.
If you live elsewhere, we recommend following up with a licensed clinician in your state.
If you're looking for a treatment plan or ongoing care beyond interpretation, that lives in our clinical programs (available only to residents of VA, MD, DC, and DE).
Morning Draw
Testosterone follows a natural daily rhythm, with levels highest in the morning. For the most accurate results, schedule your appointment for the morning hours, ideally before 10 AM.
A look at how your cortisol rises, falls, and settles across the day. Useful for understanding stress patterns, sleep issues, and HPA axis dysregulation when blood cortisol alone doesn't tell the full story.
A comprehensive stool test that identifies gut bacteria, yeast, parasites, and markers of digestion, inflammation, and intestinal barrier function. Often chosen by women investigating digestive symptoms or the gut-hormone connection.
A urine-based test that measures mycotoxins (toxic byproducts of mold) in your body. Often chosen by women with a history of water-damaged buildings or unexplained symptoms that haven't responded to other interventions.
Compassionate, evidence-based hormone health care for women, delivered through secure telemedicine.
