Who Should Get This Test?

This panel is ideal for individuals who:

  • Are struggling with stubborn weight gain or slow metabolism
  • Have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, PCOS, or insulin resistance
  • Experience low energy, irregular cycles, sugar cravings, or mood swings
  • Suspect hormonal imbalance is interfering with weight loss
  • Want to check thyroid health, stress response, and hormone levels from home

How This Test Can Help

  • Uncover thyroid dysfunction affecting your metabolic rate
  • Identify adrenal fatigue or high cortisol, common in stress-related weight gain
  • Detect insulin resistance, prediabetes, or blood sugar imbalance
  • Evaluate estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA levels that influence fat storage and energy
  • Support personalized treatment plans or weight loss programs

Biomarkers Included

Thyroid Function (Blood Spot)

  • TSH – Assesses thyroid-stimulating hormone; central marker of thyroid health
  • fT3 (Free Triiodothyronine) – Active thyroid hormone involved in energy metabolism
  • fT4 (Free Thyroxine) – Inactive thyroid hormone; converted to T3 in the body
  • Anti-TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies) – Identifies autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's

Adrenal & Sex Hormones (Saliva)

  • Cortisol – Morning, Noon, Evening, Night – Measures diurnal cortisol rhythm; helps assess adrenal fatigue or excess
  • DHEA-S – Supports metabolism, stress response, and hormone balance
  • E2 (Estradiol) – Dominant estrogen affecting fat distribution and insulin sensitivity
  • Progesterone – Balances estrogen and supports metabolism and mood
  • Pg/E2 Ratio – Evaluates balance between progesterone and estrogen
  • Testosterone – Important for maintaining lean muscle, fat burning, and libido

Metabolic Health (Blood Spot)

  • Fasting Insulin – Helps assess insulin resistance, a key factor in weight gain
  • HbA1c – Provides a 2–3 month average of blood glucose levels
  • 25-OH Vitamin D – Crucial for immune health, hormone production, and metabolic balance

Specimen Types

  • Blood Spot: Collected via finger prick using the provided kit
  • Saliva: Collected at four time points throughout the day for cortisol and hormone testing
