Hormone testing is very important for understanding and managing yourhealth, as hormonal imbalances can cause a wide range of symptoms and leadto serious problems. We test for levels of various hormones to diagnoseimbalances that can affect menopause, metabolism, mood, fertility, and otherbodily functions.Our hormone panel will assess levels of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH),Luteinizing Hormone (LH), oestradiol, progesterone, prolactin, and testosterone,SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin), and other key hormones.

Our testosterone monitoring blood tests typically involves checking both totaland free testosterone levels, along with other key factors. Low testosteronecan cause a range of effects, including a decreased sex drive, fatigue, and aloss of muscle mass. It can also lead to mental and emotional changes likeirritability, depression, and difficulty concentrating. High testosterone cancause symptoms like increased muscle mass, acne, weight gain, mood swings,and excessive facial/body hair. While sometimes linked to increased sex drive,it can also lead to complications like infertility, heart problems, and liverdamage.

Our Vitamin & Minerals test includes a full Iron Status panel. Iron is extremelyimportant because it's essential for creating red blood cells, which transportoxygen throughout your body. It supports energy levels, cognitive function,the immune system, and healthy growth and development. It is important tocheck your vitamin and mineral levels because deficiencies can cause a rangeof health issues, such as fatigue, a weakened immune system, and cognitiveproblems. Testing can identify imbalances

A CA125 blood test measures a protein (cancer antigen 125) that can be high in some ovarian cancers and other conditions, includingendometriosis, fibroids, and pregnancy. It is used to help diagnose and monitor certain cancers, such as ovarian, fallopian tube, andperitoneal cancers.

Our stress panel blood test measures cortisol and DHEA-S to assess yourbody's response to stress. Cortisol, the "stress hormone," is released by theadrenal glands, and DHEA-S is a hormone that serves as a precursor to sexhormones and is involved in stress adaptation. These tests can help identifypotential adrenal gland issues like Addison's disease or Cushing's syndromeand provide insights into chronic stress that may lead to fatigue, mooddisorders, or other health problems.

Our total prostate-specific antigen (TPSA) test is a blood test that measuresthe amount of PSA protein in the blood to help screen for prostate issues,particularly prostate cancer. Our new prostate profile which is widelypublished, combines traditional TPSA and FPSA with a novel combination ofserum markers. This innovative approach, helps triage patients into “low-” and“high-risk” categories, allowing general practitioners to improve patientmanagement in primary care and potentially reduce unnecessary, invasive,and costly treatments.

Thyroid blood panels offer advantages by allowing for early and accuratediagnosis of thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.Providing quantitative data on hormone levels which can identify subtlehormonal changes that might be missed, aiding in the diagnosis of issuesrelated to metabolism, growth, pregnancy, and infertility.
