Comprehensive female hormone panel analyzing estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and reproductive hormones. Blood sample. Essential for women monitoring menstrual cycle, fertility, perimenopause/menopause, energy, mood, and hormonal balance. Results within 48 hours. Biomarkers tested: Estradiol (E2) - primary female hormone regulating menstrual cycle, bone density, cardiovascular health, mood; Progesterone - menstrual cycle regulation, pregnancy support, menopause indicator; FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) - ovarian function, menopause status; LH (Luteinizing Hormone) - ovulation trigger, menstrual cycle regulation; Total and Free Testosterone - libido, muscle mass, energy, bone density; DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate) - adrenal function, aging marker; SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) - binds sex hormones, affects availability; Albumin - protein affecting hormone transport; Prolactin - reproductive function, breastfeeding; TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) - thyroid affects menstrual cycles and fertility; Free T3 and Free T4 - active thyroid hormones; Cortisol - stress hormone affecting reproductive health. AwarePro price: €139 (20% discount). Ideal for cycle tracking, fertility planning, perimenopause/menopause management, PCOS monitoring, or hormone replacement therapy tracking.

A hormone panel measures the chemical messengers that regulate virtually every function in your body — from energy and mood to metabolism, sleep, reproduction, and muscle growth. Hormones fluctuate with age, stress, sleep quality, and lifestyle, and imbalances can cause symptoms that are often attributed to "just getting older." Common markers include testosterone and estradiol (sex hormones), cortisol (the stress hormone), DHEA-S (an adrenal precursor), thyroid hormones, and gonadotropins like FSH and LH that regulate reproductive function. Men typically see testosterone decline after 30, while women experience significant hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause. Testing provides objective data to distinguish hormonal issues from other causes.

Who Is This For?

Men over 30 experiencing low energy, reduced libido, difficulty building muscle, or mood changes. Women with irregular periods, fertility concerns, or perimenopausal symptoms. Anyone experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight gain, sleep disruption, or mood swings. Athletes interested in optimizing recovery and performance through hormonal insights.

What's Included

Testosterone (total and/or free)
Estradiol (E2)
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)
Cortisol
DHEA-S
FSH and LH (gonadotropins)
Progesterone (if female panel)
Prolactin (if comprehensive)

Preparation Required

Fasting for 10–12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate results (water is fine). Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and intense exercise for 12 hours before the blood draw. Morning appointments are ideal for consistent hormone and glucose readings. The blood draw typically takes 5–10 minutes.

Biomarkers Tested

4
Estradiol (E2) pg/mL

The most potent and prevalent form of estrogen. In women, estradiol regulates the menstrual cycle, fertility, and bone density. In men, it's produced from testosterone and plays roles in bone health and libido. Levels vary significantly with age and menstrual cycle.

SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin) nmol/L

A protein that binds and transports sex hormones (testosterone, estrogen) in the blood. High SHBG reduces the amount of free, active hormones available. SHBG increases with age, thyroid hormones, and estrogen; decreases with obesity and insulin resistance.

Cortisol µg/dL

The primary stress hormone, produced by the adrenal glands. Cortisol regulates metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and the sleep-wake cycle. Chronically elevated cortisol from stress contributes to weight gain, immune suppression, and metabolic dysfunction.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) µg/dL

The sulfated, stable form of DHEA with a long half-life, making it the preferred test for adrenal androgen production. DHEA-S is the most abundant circulating steroid hormone and a key longevity biomarker.
