Oestradiol

The primary form of estrogen responsible for regulating the female reproductive system, bone density, and cardiovascular health in both sexes.

Progesterone

A hormone essential for regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting early pregnancy, while also influencing mood and sleep quality.

LH/FSH Ratio

A calculated metric used to evaluate pituitary-gonadal function and screen for conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

Provides insight into sexual development and fertility by triggering estrogen release and ovulation. Helps diagnose perimenopause and menopause. Not applicable if on hormonal birth control.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

FSH Test: Measures Follicle Stimulating Hormone levels, assessing reproductive health and diagnosing fertility issues.

Prolactin

Primarily known for enabling milk production, this hormone also plays a role in reproductive health and immune system regulation.

Free Testosterone

Measures the fraction of testosterone not bound to proteins, diagnosing hormonal imbalances.

Total Testosterone

Measures overall testosterone levels in your blood, diagnosing hormonal conditions.

Free Androgen Index (FAI)

A ratio of total testosterone to SHBG used to estimate the amount of physiologically active testosterone in the bloodstream.

Serum Albumin

A protein in your blood that maintains fluid balance and carries hormones, vitamins, and drugs. Low levels suggest liver disease, kidney problems, or malnutrition.

DHEAS

A precursor hormone produced by the adrenal glands that the body converts into androgens or estrogens as needed for vitality and stress response.

Cortisol

Known as the "stress hormone," it regulates metabolism, immune response, and blood pressure while helping the body respond to physical or emotional tension.

Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin level (SHBG)

Measures Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin levels, regulating the balance of testosterone and oestrogen.

Thyroid (TSH/T3/T4)

A group of hormones that act as the body's central thermostat, controlling the speed of your metabolism and energy expenditure.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Measures TSH levels to assess thyroid function, indicating underactive or overactive thyroid conditions.

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)

The primary regulator of calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood, ensuring proper bone health and nerve function.

Fasting Insulin

Measures insulin levels after fasting to evaluate insulin production, pancreas function, and risk for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Read the full guide.

Growth Hormone

Secreted by the pituitary gland, it is vital for physical growth, body composition, and the ongoing repair of cells and metabolism.

IGF-1

A hormone managed by growth hormone that plays a key role in childhood growth and continues to mediate tissue repair and cellular regeneration in adults.

ACTH

A hormone produced by the brain that signals the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, serving as a key link in your body's stress-management system.

Iron Saturation

Measures the percentage of transferrin (a protein that carries iron) bound to iron, indicating iron balance in your body.

Pregnancy (Quantitative b-HCG)

Measures HCG hormone levels in your blood to confirm pregnancy or monitor certain cancers.

Serum Ferritin

Measures ferritin levels to indicate how much iron is stored in your body, diagnosing iron deficiency or overload.

Serum Transferrin

Measures transferrin levels, a protein that transports iron in your body.

Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC)

Measures how much iron your blood can carry, checking for iron deficiency or overload.

Transferrin Saturation

Measures the percentage of transferrin bound to iron, indicating iron levels in your blood.
