Male Hormone Panel

BASIC

The Basic Hormone Panel for Males provides a streamlined evaluation of key hormones and health markers essential for identifying hormonal imbalances and general health status.

This panel is ideal for men who are beginning their journey into hormone optimization or those who want to check their core hormone levels before considering a more comprehensive panel.

Key Differences from the Advanced Panel:

The Basic Panel excludes certain markers that offer a deeper understanding of long-term health and metabolic function, such as Hemoglobin A1C and Vitamin B12.

Symptoms that may indicate hormonal imbalances:

Low Energy & Fatigue

Low Libido & Erectile Health

Muscle Loss
& Weight Gain

Mood Swings & Irritability

Brain Fog & Memory Loss

Reduced energy or motivation

Difficulty maintaining lean muscle mass

General feelings of imbalance or health decline

Low libido or diminished sexual performance

Irritability or unexplained mood changes

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

After age 25, it's natural for our hormone levels to begin declining, contributing to age related health issues and physical decline. This is why when you go to the doctor, your results might fall within the 'normal' range for your age, but why settle for just 'normal' when the goal can be to feel and function optimally?

Markers Included:

Zonulin (IgA, IgG):

Zonulin regulates the permeability of the intestines. Elevated levels suggest compromised gut barrier function, leading to a condition commonly known as 'leaky gut.'

Markers Included:

Anti-LPS (Lipopolysaccharide IgA, IgG+IgM):

High levels of antibodies to LPS, a bacterial toxin, indicate increased gut permeability, which allows toxins to enter the bloodstream, triggering an inflammatory response.

Markers Included:

Anti-Actin (IgA, IgG):

Actin is a structural protein within intestinal cells. Elevated antibodies to actin may indicate damage to the intestinal lining, further suggesting increased permeability or epithelial cell damage.

Markers Included:

Other Gluten and Non-Gluten Wheat Markers:

The test also measures immune responses to non-gluten proteins found in wheat and other dietary components that may contribute to food sensitivities.

Markers Included:

Prodynorphin (IgA, IgG):

A wheat-derived polypeptide, prodynorphin can interfere with the body’s natural opioid receptors, leading to symptoms such as stress, anxiety, and gut-brain axis disturbances.

Markers Included:

Purinin (IgA, IgG):

A wheat protein closely related to gliadins, purinin is associated with wheat sensitivity and skin disorders like dermatitis herpetiformis.

When to Schedule:

For the most accurate results, it is recommended to fast for 8 hours prior to the blood draw and avoid intense physical activity and alcohol consumption the day before testing.

This test can be taken at any time of day.

The Gluten Sensitivity & Gut Health Test provides a detailed analysis of your immune response to gluten, wheat proteins, and the status of your gut health.

Advanced Gut Health Test

The Advanced Gut Health Test offers a comprehensive evaluation of your gut microbiome, intestinal health, and digestive function. It provides insights into the balance of beneficial bacteria, potential gut pathogens, inflammation levels, and overall digestive health.

This test is ideal for individuals experiencing digestive symptoms, such as bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or those who suspect they may have conditions such as leaky gut, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or food sensitivities.

Symptoms that may indicate Gut health issues:

Bloating & Abdominal Discomfort

Chronic Fatigue & Low Energy

Brain Fog & Concentration Issues

Skin Conditions
& Rashes

Joint Pain & Inflammation

Chronic digestive issues such as bloating, gas, or indigestion

Food sensitivities or intolerances

Irregular bowel movements (constipation or diarrhea)

Fatigue, brain fog, or difficulty concentrating

Suspected gut infections or microbial imbalances

Skin conditions related to gut health, such as eczema or acne

Autoimmune conditions or systemic inflammation

Markers Included:

Gut Diversity (Shannon's Index, Simpson’s Index)

These markers assess the overall diversity of bacteria in your gut, a critical indicator of a healthy microbiome. Low diversity has been linked to various conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease. The test calculates both richness and evenness of bacterial species in the gut.

Markers Included:

Gut Commensals

This section evaluates the abundance of beneficial gut bacteria and their balance. A healthy balance is essential for digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function. Imbalances in commensal bacteria can contribute to conditions such as IBS, leaky gut, and chronic inflammation.

Markers Included:

Inflammation Markers (Calprotectin, Beta Defensin 2, S100A12, Lysozyme)

These markers measure inflammation levels within the gut, which are associated with conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), leaky gut, and general gut dysfunction. Elevated levels indicate active inflammation and may require further clinical evaluation.

Markers Included:

Digestive Insufficiency and Malabsorption Markers (Pancreatic Elastase 1, Fecal Fat, Total Phospholipids)

These markers assess how well the body is digesting and absorbing nutrients. Insufficient enzyme production or fat malabsorption can indicate pancreatic insufficiency, bile acid dysfunction, or issues with nutrient absorption.

Markers Included:

Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs)

SCFAs are byproducts of the fermentation of dietary fibers by gut bacteria and are critical for maintaining gut health. This test measures the levels of key SCFAs, including acetate, butyrate, and propionate, which support colon health, reduce inflammation, and maintain gut barrier integrity.

Markers Included:

Gut Pathogens (Bacteria, Parasites, Viruses, Fungi)

This section detects the presence of harmful bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi in the gut. These pathogens can cause infections, chronic digestive issues, and disrupt the balance of the gut microbiome. The test identifies a wide range of pathogens, including E. coli, H. pylori, and Candida species.

Markers Included:

Zonulin

Zonulin is a key marker for assessing intestinal permeability, commonly referred to as 'leaky gut.' Elevated zonulin levels indicate that the gut lining may be compromised, allowing undigested food particles and toxins to enter the bloodstream, which can lead to inflammation and immune responses.

Markers Included:

sIgA (Secretory Immunoglobulin A)

sIgA is a crucial immune marker that protects the gut lining from harmful bacteria and toxins. Low levels suggest weakened gut immunity, while high levels may indicate an active immune response to gut infections or irritants.

When to Schedule:

The test can be taken at any time of day, with no specific preparation required.

However, it is recommended to call to disclose any digestive symptoms or conditions before taking the test.

The Advanced Gut Health Test provides detailed insights into your gut microbiome and overall digestive function, helping to identify imbalances, infections, or inflammation.
