Hormones are essential chemical messengers that regulate many vital body functions. When hormone levels become too high or too low, this can lead to undesirable symptoms and health issues. Getting your hormone levels tested can identify deficiencies or excesses so they can be properly addressed.
Many patients come to our Optimal Hormone Wellness Center clinic with concerns about issues that may be related to hormonal imbalances, such as:
Testing is important because most people experiencing hormone imbalance symptoms do not realize they have a problem for months or even years. We provide cutting-edge diagnostic testing to uncover the likely causes of your symptoms, rather than just treating general complaints.
Our clinic offers state-of-the-art testing services to assess levels of key hormones for both women and men. Based on your test results, your provider can determine if hormone optimization therapy is recommended to help you feel your best.
For women, essential hormones we test include:
Evaluating levels of these hormones relative to each other provides insight into factors that may be causing symptoms potentially related to peri-menopause, menopause, PCOS, infertility, low libido, and other issues.
It’s not just women affected by hormone imbalances. For men, key markers we analyze are:
Testosterone deficiency becomes increasingly common in aging men. But younger men can also have low testosterone causing symptoms like fatigue, erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, and emotional changes.
Getting your hormones tested and under control has many potential benefits including:
If hormones underlie your health issues, optimizing your levels can be life-changing. Symptoms that may improve include:
Balancing your hormones alleviates symptoms and helps you to feel like yourself again with more energy, sharper thinking, stable moods, easier weight management, and improved intimacy.
Hormone imbalances also raise your risk for developing serious chronic diseases down the road including:
Getting tested enables diagnosis at earlier stages. Then making appropriate lifestyle modifications combined with hormone optimization therapy can help mitigate these longer-term risks.
Fundamentally, hormones affect how you feel every single day. Getting them back in balance provides whole-body benefits:
Optimal hormone levels are key for overall wellness, allowing you to show up as your best self to engage in relationships, activities, and experiences meaningful to you.

Our goal is precisely tailored treatments to balance your hormones in a manner best supporting your long-term health and wellness.
Below we describe key specifics about our testing processes and options:
If experiencing any symptoms possibly related to hormone changes, testing is advisable. Some specific appropriate times include:
For men over age 40 specifically, getting a testosterone level check is wise as deficiency becomes increasingly common with older age.
Ideally get tested first thing in the morning when hormone levels are most stable.
We offer complete panels encompassing all key hormones, as well as individual tests for specific hormones like testosterone or thyroid hormones based on symptoms.
Testing analyzes levels in the blood as this is where hormones circulate to affect body tissues. Testing urine or saliva generally provides less reliable data.
Once treatment begins, follow-up testing evaluates how you are responding at 3, 6, or 12 month intervals and ensures optimum hormone balance is achieved and maintained long-term.
Hormone tests can reveal useful health insights beyond common issues like menopause or low testosterone. For example, abnormal cortisol levels can indicate adrenal gland dysfunction, which is linked to fatigue, blood sugar imbalance, immune dysfunction, and more. Identifying and addressing the root hormonal cause can greatly improve these broader health issues.

Hormone issues tend to develop slowly over many months. Therefore, patients often do not recognize subtle changes and delay getting evaluated.
But the longer hormone imbalances go unchecked and unaddressed, the higher the likelihood of:
Identifying and fixing hormone deficits early is key. The sooner treatment begins, the more likely one can avoid long-term effects and feel relief quickly.
While some dismiss symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido or anxiety as just signs of aging, accepting them as inevitable is unwise. Often such issues stem from correctable hormone imbalances.
We encourage anyone noticing these or other unusual symptoms to come in for testing. Even if nothing is wrong, having this knowledge provides peace of mind.
But frequently we detect underlying hormone abnormalities accounting for patients’ complaints. And through proper treatment, most achieve prompt, dramatic improvements in how they look and feel.
Do not delay. Call to schedule testing today so any necessary hormone balancing can begin right away for restoring energy, sex drive, emotional positivity and overall wellness quickly.
