Comprehensive Panels

Sex Hormone Panel (Comprehensive)

Unit: ng/dL, pg/mLID: HORM001

What This Test Measures

Total/Free Testosterone, Estradiol, Progesterone, DHEA-S, SHBG

Conventional vs. Functional Optimal Range

Conventional "Normal"
Varies by hormone and sex ng/dL, pg/mL
Your doctor says you're "fine" anywhere in this range
Functional Optimal
Optimized levels per hormone ng/dL, pg/mL
This is where you actually feel great

The gap between these ranges is why you feel terrible with "normal" labs. Conventional medicine waits for disease. Functional medicine optimizes for health.

Gabriel's Take

Comprehensive hormone panels reveal the full picture: Total/Free Testosterone, Estradiol, Progesterone, DHEA-S, SHBG, LH, FSH. Men need balanced T and E2. Women need cycle-appropriate levels. SHBG determines free hormone availability. Optimize hormones for energy, mood, libido, longevity.
