Hormone Insight
Hormone dysfunction can disrupt the body’s delicate balance, affecting metabolism, growth, cognition, mood regulation, and energy levels. Imbalances, such as those seen in thyroid disorders, diabetes, or adrenal insufficiency, can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and mood swings. Long-term hormone dysfunction increases the risk of chronic conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, and mental health disorders.
Find out with the following tests how your hormones are doing.
Fatigue and inflammation panels included
Female Hormone Panel
Tests important hormones, including DHEA (a hormone precursor), Progesterone, Estradiol, Testosterone, Luteinizing Hormone, and Follicle Stimulating Hormone.
ASSOCIATED symptoms: changes to your menstrual cycles, increased acne, mood changes related to your cycle, hot flashes, and sleep disturbances
- DHEA:Measures your body’s natural steroid hormone precursor, which produces other important hormones like testosterone and estrogen.
- Follicular stimulating hormone (FSH): Hormone from pituitary to ovaries to signal production of estrogen
- Luteinizing hormone (LH): Hormone from pituitary to ovaries to signal production of progesterone
- Estradiol: One of the primary hormones in women responsible for fertility, breast health, cardiovascular, bone and brain health
- Progesterone: One of the primary hormones in women responsible for supporting pregnancy, improving sleep and stabilizing mood.
- Testosterone: a lesser focused sex hormone but important drive, motivation, mood and cognitive health in women.
Male Hormone Panel
Tests important hormones, including DHEA (a hormone precursor), Estradiol, free and total Testosterone, and sex hormone binding globulin
ASSOCIATED symptoms: changes to your drive and motivation, libido and menstrual cycles, increased acne, mood changes related to your cycle, hot flashes, and sleep disturbances
- DHEA:Measures your body’s endogenous steroid hormone precursor. This hormone precursor makes other important hormones like testosterone and Estrogen
- Estradiol: A less well-known male hormone that plays an important role in sexual function, including sex drive, sperm development, and erectile function.
- Testosterone: The primary male hormone produced by the testes, responsible for drive, motivation, libido, muscle mass, and healthy brain function
- SHBG: A protein that binds to sex hormones in your blood, helping control the amount of active sex hormones in your body. When SHBG binds to these hormones, your tissues can’t use them.
Genova Adreno Cortex Stress profile (Add on)
ASSOCIATED symptoms:Gradually decreasing stamina over time, fluctuating energy levels throughout the day, or consistently low energy from the moment you wake up.

This test evaluates the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis or Stress response system, by analyzing saliva samples taken at specific times. It measures cortisol four times a day to understand daily stress patterns and DHEA once in the morning. The ratio of DHEA to cortisol helps understand the balance between building up and breaking down processes in the body
