Yes. Hormone optimization requires baseline lab work to ensure safe prescribing and to create an individualized, clinically accurate treatment plan.

Fasting for 8–12 hours is recommended for the most accurate results. Water and prescribed medications are allowed unless otherwise instructed.

For hormone therapy, structured monitoring is required to ensure safe and effective treatment:

• A follow-up lab panel is required 6–8 weeks after starting hormone therapy for the first time.
• After that, labs are required every 6 months to continue therapy and adjust dosing appropriately.
• Patients may choose to complete labs more frequently, but all lab panels—required or optional—are the patient’s financial responsibility.

For peptide and weight-loss therapies, labs are not required unless clinically indicated.

We typically run a comprehensive hormone panel alongside standard wellness labs, which may include:

• Hormones: Testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, DHEA, SHBG, LH, FSH
   
• Thyroid: TSH, Free T3, Free T4
   
• Metabolic markers: Glucose, A1C, insulin, liver & kidney function, lipid panel
   
• CBC and micronutrients as needed to assess inflammation, red blood cell health, and nutritional status 

These labs give us a full picture of your endocrine and metabolic landscape, allowing us to tailor hormone dosing precisely to you.

We do not bill insurance for laboratory testing. Patients are responsible for the cost of their panels, and most can use HSA/FSA funds toward testing. Financing options are also available for those who prefer to spread payments over time.

Your provider will review all findings and create a personalized plan, which may include hormone optimization, supplementation, lifestyle modifications, or follow-up testing.

Yes. We offer a full suite of advanced hormone, metabolic, thyroid, inflammatory, and performance markers. Your provider can help determine which options are best for your goals.

All testing is processed through CLIA-certified laboratories to ensure medical-grade accuracy and reliability.
