If you're dealing with low mood or libido, slow metabolism or just feel you've lost your mojo it's absolutely vital to look at your hormones. The Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism test gives you the full picture to identify any imbalances directly affecting overall metabolic function. As we age, it's even more important to keep hormones in check in order to manage stress effectively, maintain a healthy weight and have the energy you need. If you've struggled to lose weight and keep it off, this test takes all key hormones into account: thyroid function, adrenal output, blood sugar and vitamin D status.
Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test
If you feel like no matter how hard you try you still can't seem to lose weight or keep it off, even after following rigorous diet and exercise regimes, it's time to take a closer look at your hormones and finally understand the root cause of the challenges you may be facing. The truth is our weight can dictate how we feel about ourselves and our health. If your goal is weight loss, it is important to know it often has less to do with daily caloric intake or how much you exercise and everything to do with hormone balance: cortisol (stress), thyroid, blood sugar (insulin) and hidden inflammation that adds even more stress to your system and this metabolism test does all that and more. There's no denying hormones play a pivotal role in how you feel; the problem is that being a bit too high or too low, or not in the right ratio with counter balancing hormones can send you into a spiral of metabolic dysfunction. Low mood, low libido, low energy, weight gain, puffiness, thinning brittle hair – there is always a reason. To restore vital hormonal balance and optimize your metabolism, The Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test will give you the detailed, accurate measurement of key hormone levels with further assessment that offers real meaning on how to rebalance your hormones.

The two most important hormones in the female body, individual levels as well as the ratio Pg/E2 - a key indicator of estrogen dominance
Estradiol (E2) is the primary form of estrogen created in the ovaries and also in small amounts by the adrenal glands and fat cells.
Optimal levels in women promote a healthy distribution of fat in the hips, thighs, breasts and subcutaneously. Excess estrogen, coupled with low progesterone can lead to unhealthy surplus weight gain in these areas.
Sufficient levels of vitamin D, estrogen and testosterone are important for maintaining bone health in the menopause years.
Men generally have much lower levels of estradiol and higher testosterone than women. In overweight men testosterone levels drop and estrogens rise creating the same problematic weight gain in the hips, thighs, and breasts (gynecomastia).
Progesterone (Pg) is the hormone crucial for menstrual cycle regulation and pregnancy maintenance.
Progesterone is produced mainly in the ovaries following ovulation each month.
Low progesterone is common due to high stress when the body will produce more cortisol instead of progesterone, which has an impact on the reproductive system.
Adrenals under pressure create imbalances of other hormones, e.g., stealing progesterone away from its reproductive duties to make extra cortisol, or inhibiting thyroid function and metabolism.
The individual level of estrogen and progesterone are key, but the ratio is as important to assess.
A low ratio occurs when progesterone is low relative to estrogen commonly known as estrogen dominance.
Imbalances in these two hormones can lead to weight gain in the hips and thighs, water retention and a sluggish metabolism.
In general, either decreasing estrogen and/or increasing progesterone are appropriate.
Key sex hormones (androgens)
Testosterone (male dominant) and DHEA are key sex hormones that increase lean muscle mass and metabolic rate. Androgens are key factors for hair health.
Testosterone can be elevated in women due to stress and or PCOS.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone that your body naturally produces in the adrenal gland. DHEA helps produce other hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. Natural DHEA levels peak in early adulthood and then slowly fall as you age.
Low testosterone and low DHEA can lead to decreased muscle mass with a corresponding increase in body fat, decreased metabolic rate & excess abdominal weight gain. Low levels can also reduce vitality and exercise tolerance.
In women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), high testosterone and DHEA are linked to insulin resistance and weight gain, particularly around the middle.
Sufficient levels of vitamin D, estrogen and testosterone are important for maintaining bone health in the menopause years.
Cortisol: Produced by the adrenal glands to keep up with our daily stress response
Vitamin D: Vitamin D is actually a hormone mainly produced when our skin is exposed to sunlight
Thyroid: Comprehensive analysis of all thyroid markers T4, T3, TSH, TPO antibodies to get a complete picture of thyroid health and function
Insulin & Hemoglobin A1c: Stress and blood sugar regulation
Insulin is a hormone created by your pancreas that controls the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood at any moment. It helps store glucose in your liver, fat and muscles and also regulates your body's metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
With prolonged stress, adrenal hormones can start fluctuating up and down, triggering blood sugar and insulin imbalances, food cravings, weight gain and sleep disturbances.
Insulin resistance can occur from prolonged elevated blood sugar levels where your body is no longer able to effectively respond to insulin, making it unable to fully absorb and use the sugar from the food you eat for energy. This can lead to type 2 diabetes.
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a measure of red blood cell hemoglobin glycation and reflects the average blood glucose for the previous 3 months.
The American Diabetic Association recommends the following HbA1c levels:
- Normal: <5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% - 6.4%
- Diabetic: >6.5%
