What's measured

This test measures 4 key hormones known to play an important role in your overall health and wellness

Your test results will provide detailed information on the 4 hormones measured and whether levels are normal, low, or high. When measured together, the levels of these hormones offer a broader overview and greater insight into your hormonal balance and overall health and wellness.

Cortisol

Cortisol is produced in the adrenal glands and is released in response to stressors like illness and exercise. Cortisol is often referred to as your body’s “stress hormone,” but it has many roles in the body, including helping to control blood sugar levels and regulating energy metabolism. In most people, cortisol levels peak in the morning and are lowest in the middle of the night.

DHEA

DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, is an androgen hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands, but in people assigned male at birth (AMAB), a small amount is also produced by the testes and brain. It is a precursor to some other hormones in the body, such as testosterone and estrogen. DHEA peaks in early adulthood and decreases with age.

Estradiol

Estradiol is one of the main types of estrogen, and while it is the primary female hormone, it is found in all sexes. The estrogen present in people assigned male at birth (AMAB) is mainly formed from testosterone by an enzyme called aromatase, found commonly in belly fat. As men age, their estradiol levels naturally increase. Estradiol also plays a role in bone maintenance, brain function, as well as male fertility by helping with fluid balance in the testicles.

Free Testosterone

In people assigned male at birth (AMAB), testosterone is primarily produced by the testes, with a small amount produced by the adrenal glands. Free testosterone is not attached to proteins, whereas total testosterone includes free testosterone and testosterone that is bound to the proteins (e.g. albumin and sex hormone binding globulin) in the blood. While commonly regarded as the primary male sex hormone, testosterone is important for bone density, libido, body fat distribution, and supporting muscle mass across all sexes.

Once you receive our male hormone test, simply send in a saliva sample taken shortly after you wake, and EverlyWell's lab will process your sample and provide you with your digital results. This hormone test checks 4 vital hormone levels for men to see if they fall within a normal range. Once you get your test result back, you can then show your hormone levels to your healthcare provider for further advice and next steps.

The Everlywell Hormone Test For Men measures the levels of these important hormones:

Testosterone
DHEA
Estradiol
Cortisol

Testosterone:

Testosterone is a hormone most well known for it’s role as the main male sex hormone. While testosterone exists in both men and women, it typically exists in far greater amounts in men than women. This hormone plays a key role in maintaining muscle mass, regulating fat storage, body hair growth, athletic performance, sex drive, energy levels, and much more.

Testosterone peaks for most men during their twenties and decreases with age.

DHEA:

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is the most abundant circulating steroid in the body. It is produced primarily in the adrenal glands and acts as a precursor to other sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. DHEA peaks in early adulthood and decreases with age.

Estradiol:

Estradiol is the most prevalent estrogen. Although essential for female secondary characteristic development, it is also synthesized and required in males at low levels. An estrogen test checks your estradiol levels to help you see if you have normal ranges.

Cortisol:

Cortisol is the "fight or flight" hormone that is released by the adrenal glands in response to stress. Persistent stress leads to chronically increased cortisol levels, which can result in many health issues including difficulty sleeping, weight gain, decreased testosterone levels , low energy, and more.
