What this test reveals
What this test reveals
Comprehensive men's hormone testing goes far beyond basic testosterone, measuring total and free testosterone, SHBG, DHT, estradiol (yes, men need estrogen too), PSA, prolactin, LH/FSH (pituitary function), DHEA-S, plus metabolic markers like fasting insulin and HbA1c that directly impact testosterone production.
Male testosterone levels have dropped approximately 1% per year since the 1980s due to environmental endocrine disruptors (plastics, pesticides), epidemic metabolic dysfunction (insulin resistance kills testosterone), chronic stress, poor sleep, and toxin exposure. Yet conventional medicine won't test hormones until erectile dysfunction is severe or you're seeking fertility treatment. The lab reference range for 'normal' testosterone spans 300-1000 ng/dL, an absurdly wide window that labels a 25-year-old with 350 as normal when his grandfather at that age was probably over 800.
People usually reach for this kind of diagnostic when they want a clearer read on total testosterone (bound and unbound), free testosterone (bioavailable, active form), shbg (sex hormone binding globulin, binds up testosterone), especially when symptoms or prior testing still leave blind spots.
Once results are back, you can upload them into Gabriel to connect the findings to symptoms, protocols, and next-step testing instead of leaving them as a static report.
Commonly relevant for: Male Infertility Low Sperm, Anxiety Depression, Obesity Weight Loss Resistance.
Gabriel difference
Why this becomes more useful inside Gabriel
Testosterone is not one number. A man can have normal total testosterone but feel terrible because SHBG is sky-high and free testosterone is in the basement. Another man has decent testosterone but crushing estrogen dominance from aromatase activity driven by visceral fat and insulin resistance. Prolactin sneaks up from chronic stress or medications and silently destroys libido. PSA reveals prostate issues years before symptoms. Gabriel connects the dots: metabolic health (insulin resistance), thyroid function, adrenal status, and sex hormones are one integrated system. Optimize one lever, the others follow.
Gabriel interprets results through a functional, root-cause lens: optimal ranges, pattern recognition across multiple diagnostics, and what the findings actually mean for action rather than just classification.
That means this test can feed directly into protocols, practitioner matching, food strategy, and follow-up testing instead of ending as a one-off PDF or lab portal result.
What to expect
What to expect from ordering to results
01
Order
Order directly through Marek Health or ask Gabriel whether there is a better path first.
02
Complete
A fasting morning blood draw (testosterone is highest 7-9 AM). Fast for 10-12 hours, water only.
03
Interpret
Upload the results to Gabriel for pattern recognition, protocol suggestions, and next-step guidance.
