Hormone Diagnostics

Comprehensive hormone diagnostics at Wellsana Berlin measure key biomarkers including testosterone, oestrogens, DHEA-S, cortisol, thyroid hormones (TSH, fT3, fT4) and IGF-1 to assess hormonal balance, adrenal function and biological age. Results are reviewed with a physician, providing the foundation for evidence-based hormone optimisation or supplementation strategies. The panel is suitable for both men and women experiencing fatigue, reduced performance or age-related hormonal changes.

Hormonal balance is a central pillar of longevity medicine. As we age, levels of testosterone, oestradiol, DHEA-S, growth hormone (measured via IGF-1) and thyroid hormones shift in ways that affect energy, body composition, mood, cognitive function, libido and metabolic rate. Identifying these changes through precise laboratory testing allows clinicians to develop targeted strategies — including lifestyle interventions, supplementation or medically supervised hormone optimisation — that can meaningfully improve quality of life and healthspan. At Wellsana Berlin Longevity, hormone diagnostics begin with a venous blood draw covering a broad panel of markers. A standard panel typically includes: total and free testosterone, oestradiol, DHEA-S (a marker of adrenal reserve and biological ageing), cortisol (both morning and, where indicated, diurnal profile), TSH, free T3 and free T4 (thyroid function), and IGF-1 (a proxy for growth hormone activity). Extended panels may add LH and FSH (for pituitary-gonadal axis assessment), prolactin, progesterone, SHBG and additional metabolic markers such as fasting insulin. Berlin has a well-developed private laboratory and diagnostics ecosystem, with same- or next-day results typical for most markers. A physician consultation to interpret the results and discuss clinical implications is included in the package, making this a complete end-to-end diagnostic rather than a standalone blood draw. Wellsana's hormone testing is particularly relevant for men over 35 concerned about declining testosterone or energy levels, women navigating perimenopause or menopause, and anyone whose standard NHS or GKV check-ups have not explored these markers in depth. Medical tourists visiting Berlin for other longevity treatments frequently combine hormone diagnostics with IV therapy or ozone sessions during the same stay.
