This test measures 4 key hormones known to play an important role in your overall health

Cortisol
Cortisol is produced in the adrenal glands and is released in response to acute stressors, like illness, exercise, and emotional stressors. Cortisol is often called your body’s “stress hormone”. Cortisol has many roles in the body though, including helping control blood sugar levels and regulating energy metabolism. In most healthy people, cortisol levels peak in the morning and are lowest in the middle of the night.
DHEA
DHEA, produced primarily in the adrenal glands, acts as a precursor to other sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. DHEA peaks in early adulthood and decreases with age.
Estradiol
Estradiol is the main type of estrogen and, while it is the primary female hormone, it is also found in men. The estrogen present in males is formed from DHEA. It can also be formed from the conversion of testosterone by an enzyme most commonly found in belly fat. As men age, their estradiol levels naturally increase. Estrogen does appear to play a role in male fertility by helping with fluid balance in the testicles.
Free Testosterone
Testosterone is produced by the adrenal cortex, the testes in men, and the ovaries in women. When it is bound to protein in the blood it is called Total Testosterone. Testosterone that is not bound to proteins is called Free Testosterone and is the bio
