Metabolic Test
Metabolic Test
Measuring cortisol, testosterone, and progesterone levels, as well as thyroid function via TSH, is crucial for assessing metabolic and hormonal health. Cortisol, the stress hormone, can affect weight and energy when at abnormal levels. Testosterone and progesterone play important roles in maintaining muscle mass and overall hormonal balance. TSH regulates thyroid function, which affects metabolism and energy levels.
Understanding these parameters can help detect hormonal imbalances that can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain and changes in muscle mass, thus allowing adjustments to lifestyle and treatment to optimize metabolic health.

Tested parameters
Cortisol
Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps control stress, reduce inflammation, regulate metabolism, and support immune function. High levels of cortisol can be indicative of chronic stress, while low levels can signal other health problems.
Free Testosterone
Free Testosterone is the active form of testosterone that circulates in the blood and is available for immediate use by the body. It is essential for maintaining muscle mass, bone density and libido. Measuring Free Testosterone helps you understand whether your levels are adequate and how this may be affecting your overall health and energy.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
TSH regulates thyroid function. Abnormal TSH levels may indicate thyroid problems, which can affect metabolism, energy, and overall well-being. This test assesses how well your thyroid is functioning.
