A full health history, correct sample timing, and a panel that covers more than sex hormones. Thyroid and metabolic markers are assessed at the same time, because hormone symptoms overlap with both.
Hormone symptoms rarely arrive on their own. Fatigue, disturbed sleep, weight that changes for no clear reason and unstable mood can all come from hormones, but they can equally come from the thyroid, from insulin resistance, or from a nutrient deficiency.
That is why a single hormone test is not enough to answer this question.
Who this assessment is for
- Women approaching or going through perimenopause and menopause
- Men whose energy, recovery and body composition have changed over recent years
- Irregular cycles, or symptoms suspected to be linked to PCOS
- Anyone who has had a single hormone test before and still has no answer
Why one hormone test is not enough
Hormones do not work in isolation. The thyroid affects energy and weight. Cortisol affects sleep and abdominal fat. Insulin affects sex hormones. Testing one without the others gives an answer that looks normal while the problem sits elsewhere.
This assessment tests sex hormones alongside thyroid, adrenal and metabolic markers at the same time, so the picture can be read as one system. Read hormones and menopause and cortisol symptoms.
What the baseline assessment includes
The detail of each test sits in the hormone profile test.
- A detailed consultation and full health history
- Body composition analysis
- Sex hormones, meaning estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, LH and FSH
- Thyroid panel
- Adrenal panel, meaning cortisol and DHEA
- Baseline metabolic markers, meaning lipid profile, diabetes screening, renal and liver function
- Inflammatory and cardiovascular risk markers
- Vitamin D, iron and ferritin
What the advanced assessment adds
The advanced assessment adds deeper adrenal function markers, growth hormone, prolactin and SHBG, along with several additional screens.
Those additional screens are not applied automatically. They are selected by the doctor based on your health history and family history, because a test that is not relevant to someone only adds cost and adds worry without adding clarity.
Sample timing matters
For women who still menstruate, some hormones have to be drawn at a particular phase of the cycle. For men, testosterone is most meaningful when drawn in the morning.
A test taken at the wrong time can give a misleading reading, and that is among the most common reasons hormone results appear to make no sense. The clinic sets the right timing when you book.
After results come back
The doctor goes through every marker with you and explains what it shows. A suitable plan is then discussed.
That plan depends entirely on the test results and the clinical assessment, and it is not decided before the assessment is done. We do not list treatment options as a menu on this page, because that is not how medical decisions are made.
The limits of this assessment
This assessment gives a hormonal and metabolic picture on the day of testing. It does not diagnose every condition, and it is not a cancer screen.
It also does not promise an outcome. Some people get a clear answer from the first panel. Others need follow-up testing at a different point in the cycle before the picture is complete.

Frequently Asked
When is the best time to do a hormone test?
For women who still menstruate, some hormones have to be drawn at a particular phase of the cycle. For men, testosterone is most meaningful in the morning. The clinic sets the right timing when you book.
I had a hormone test before and the results were normal. Why do I still have symptoms?
A single test can look normal while the problem sits in another part of the system. Reading hormones alongside thyroid and metabolic markers is what resolves that.
Is this a cancer screen?
No. This assessment gives a hormonal and metabolic picture, and it does not diagnose every condition.
