Men’s Health Test

Your results will provide detailed information on whether your testosterone, DHEA, estradiol, and cortisol levels are normal, low, or high compared to reference ranges. If you’re experiencing signs and symptoms of hormone imbalances, sharing your test results with your healthcare provider can help them recommend possible next steps.

The Home Test Box At-Home Men’s Health Test measures four key hormones that may affect mood, weight, sex drive, muscle mass, and energy levels in men.

The Home Test Box At-Home Men’s Health Test measures the following hormone levels:

• Estradiol
• Testosterone
• DHEA
• Cortisol

Men who are experiencing symptoms of a hormonal imbalance may benefit from an at-home men’s health test.

A few possible hormonal imbalance symptoms include:

• Fatigue
• Sleep disturbances
• Weight changes
• Joint or muscle pain
• Decreases in muscle mass
• Low libido

The Home Test Box At-Home Men’s Health Test requires you to collect a morning saliva sample.

Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress. It plays a role in the body's "fight or flight" response and helps regulate several physiological processes, including metabolism, immune function, and the inflammatory response.

In men, chronically elevated cortisol levels can lead to a number of health problems, including unwanted weight gain, decreased muscle mass, and a decrease in bone density. It is also associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and depression. 

Additionally, studies have shown that long-term exposure to high cortisol levels may decrease testosterone levels, which can result in reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, and other sexual dysfunction. 

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone primarily made by the adrenal glands. It plays a role in estrogen and testosterone production. 

DHEA levels tend to decline as men age, which has been linked to reduced muscle mass, strength, and bone density. 

Low DHEA levels have been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depression. 

Symptoms of DHEA deficiency may include prolonged fatigue, poor concentration, and a diminished sense of well-being. 

Estradiol is an estrogen hormone that is present in both men and women. In men, estradiol levels are typically much lower than in women, but they still play an essential role in maintaining overall health. Maintaining normal estradiol levels is necessary for maintaining bone density, muscle mass, and sexual function.

Low estradiol levels in men can lead to a number of health problems, including osteoporosis, breast enlargement (gynecomastia), excess belly fat, and decreased sexual function. Low levels can also be a sign of an underlying medical condition, such as a tumor on the testicles or adrenal glands.

On the other hand, high estradiol levels in men can lead to symptoms such as infertility, erectile dysfunction, and depression. 

Testosterone is the primary androgen, meaning it stimulates the development of male characteristics, such as facial and body hair growth, a deepened voice, and muscle mass. Testosterone also plays a role in maintaining bone density, sperm production, and sexual function. 

Although it’s commonly referred to as the “male sex hormone,” testosterone is also found in both sexes, however, men typically produce significantly more than women.

In men, low testosterone may contribute to a number of symptoms, including decreased muscle mass and strength, reduced bone density, decreased sexual function, and increased body fat. Low energy levels, mood swings, and depression are also possible symptoms.

Additionally, low testosterone levels have been associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. 

On the other hand, high testosterone levels, although not common, can cause symptoms such as acne, hair loss, and an enlarged prostate. Infertility, insomnia, mood swings, and unexplained weight gain may also occur.
