Measures hormone levels to assess endocrine function and overall hormonal balance.

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.
