Test 4 Key Hormones That Help Determine a Man's Overall Well-being

As a male you require well-balanced testosterone levels to perform at your best, but truly knowing your health requires understanding far more than testosterone.

Our at-home men’s health test measures testosterone along with three other hormones, DHEA, Cortisol and Free Estradiol, and can help identify how stress may be affecting your lifestyle.

Simply send in a saliva sample taken shortly after you wake, and EverlyWell’s lab will provide an accurate measure of your levels of each hormone.

The EverlyWell Men’s Health Test measures the levels of these important hormones:

• Testosterone
• DHEA
• Estradiol
• Cortisol

Testosterone:

Testosterone is a hormone that typically exists in far greater amounts in men than women. This hormone plays a key role in muscle mass, body hair, athletic ability, 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 common steroidal hormone found in the body. It is produced by the adrenal glands, gonads, and brain. Among other functions, DHEA is a precursor to testosterone and estrogen production. Both males and females make DHEA, with levels rising during childhood to peak around 20 years of age. Thereafter levels decline slowly.

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.

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 poor sleep, weight gain, testosterone decrease, low energy, and more serious disorders.

Men of any age may be interested in understanding their testosterone, estradiol, cortisol, and DHEA levels as these - when measured together - offer greater insight into their overall health.

Through this test, you have the opportunity to better understand your levels of each of these four hormones and their role in your overall health.

Your results will provide detailed information on whether your testosterone, DHEA, estradiol, and cortisol levels are normal, low, or high compared to reference ranges in your age group.

EverlyWell can provide evidence-based suggestions for lifestyle changes that you can make to positively impact your health. It's always a great idea to share your results with your doctor, and we'll give you a head start.
