About the test

Finally, a smarter way to measure your fitness.

Are you looking to improve your athletic performance?

Or perhaps you want to uncover underlying factors preventing you from reaching your health and fitness goals.

Hormones play a significant role in your metabolism and energy levels, key elements that can affect not only your endurance and strength but also your ability to recover after a tough workout.

This at-home comprehensive fitness test measures five hormones, DHEA, cortisol, testosterone, TSH, and hs-CRP, along with vitamin D, to determine if they are within the normal range. When measured together, these markers can offer a broad overview of your hormonal balance and how it may affect your physical fitness and health.

Free Testosterone

Free testosterone refers to the testosterone that is not attached to proteins. While it’s often regarded as the primary male sex hormone, testosterone is essential for bone density, body fat distribution, libido, and muscle mass support across all sexes. Low testosterone levels are associated with increased fat and reduced muscle mass.

DHEA

DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, is an androgen hormone primarily produced by the adrenal glands. It’s a precursor hormone, meaning it has a little biological effect on its own. However, when it’s converted into other hormones like testosterone and estrogen, it has powerful effects. Some research shows that it may play a role in weight management. DHEA peaks in early adulthood and gradually decreases with age.

Cortisol

Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands and released in response to stressors like illness and exercise. While it’s often referred to as the “stress hormone,” cortisol also regulates various vital processes throughout the body. Additionally, it helps control the body’s blood sugar levels and regulates energy metabolism. Levels of cortisol vary throughout the day, but for most people, it peaks in the morning and is the lowest in the middle of the night.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

Thyroid stimulating hormone, or TSH, is produced by the pituitary gland. It’s responsible for regulating hormones, T3 and T4, produced by the thyroid gland. TSH is considered the most sensitive marker for screening for thyroid-related diseases and conditions. Too much thyroid hormone can lead to weight loss, while too little can cause weight gain.

hs-CRP

C-reactive protein (CRP) increases in response to inflammation. A high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) is more sensitive than a standard CRP test when measuring baseline concentrations and enables a measure of chronic inflammation. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease, and hs-CRP is a biomarker of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk.

Vitamin D (25-OH D)

Vitamin D plays a role in various bodily processes, including bone formation and maintenance, as well as immune function. It forms in the body when your skin absorbs sunlight and is found in natural and fortified foods. Low vitamin D intake over time may lead to a vitamin D deficiency. Low vitamin D levels have been linked to obesity and a higher body fat percentage, particularly in the belly.

Questions and Answers

What is an at-home comprehensive fitness test?

The Home Test Box At-Home Comprehensive Fitness Test measures hormones and markers involved in regulating overall fitness and metabolism. These markers include vitamin D, DHEA, cortisol, testosterone, TSH, and hs-CRP. Together, these hormones offer a comprehensive overview of your hormonal balance and how it may affect your fitness. The test requires a saliva and cortisol sample. 

What markers does the at-home comprehensive fitness test measure?

The Home Test Box Comprehensive Fitness Test measures the following markers:

  • DHEA
  • Cortisol
  • Testosterone
  • TSH
  • hs-CRP
  • 25-OH Vitamin D

Who should take a fitness test?

A fitness test may benefit men and women experiencing symptoms like unexplained weight gain, difficulty losing weight, fatigue, or reduced muscle mass. 

What is DHEA, and how does it affect fitness?

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

DHEA levels tend to decrease with age, which has been linked to reduced muscle mass, strength, and bone density. 

 

What is hs-CRP, and how does it affect fitness?

C-reactive protein (CRP) increases in response to inflammation. A high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) is more sensitive than a standard CRP test when measuring baseline concentrations and enables a measure of chronic inflammation. 

Physical fitness and regular exercise have been shown to decrease hs-CRP levels, likely due to the anti-inflammatory effects of regular physical activity. Regular exercise can also help to lower other markers of inflammation and improve overall cardiovascular health.

However, it's important to note that HS-CRP is not a direct indicator of fitness, and other factors such as diet, stress, and smoking can also affect hs-CRP levels. Additionally, it's important to consult a healthcare professional if you have a high HS-CRP level to rule out any underlying medical condition. 

 

What is cortisol, and how does it affect fitness?

Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress. While it is commonly referred to as the "stress hormone," cortisol has many essential functions. It is involved in managing how your body uses macronutrients, regulating blood pressure and blood sugar, and controlling the sleep-wake cycle. 

In healthy amounts, cortisol helps control and regulate energy metabolism, which can increase fitness. 

However, chronically elevated cortisol can slow our metabolism and hinder athletic performance. Over time, chronic stress and overproduction of cortisol can contribute to decreased muscle mass, strength, endurance, and motivation to exercise. It can also lead to chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, and depression, negatively affecting physical and mental well-being and overall fitness.

 

How does testosterone affect fitness?

Testosterone is the primary androgen, meaning it stimulates the development of male characteristics.

Although it's commonly referred to as the "male sex hormone," testosterone is found in men and women. However, women produce much less testosterone than men. 

In general, higher testosterone levels can promote muscle growth and increase strength, enhancing physical fitness. Testosterone is also essential for maintaining bone density, which can decrease the risk of osteoporosis.

In addition to its physical effects, testosterone can impact mental and emotional well-being. It can also influence mood, energy levels, and libido, affecting motivation and overall physical activity engagement.

 

What is TSH, and how does it affect fitness?

TSH, or thyroid-stimulating hormone, is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the production of T4 (thyroxine) and (T43) triiodothyronine. These hormones are essential for various processes, including metabolism, heart rate, and digestion. 

TSH levels outside the normal range can lead to numerous side effects. High levels of TSH can indicate an underactive thyroid, which can lead to fatigue, weight gain, and other symptoms. 

On the other hand, low TSH levels can indicate an overactive thyroid, which can cause weight loss, rapid heart rate, and other symptoms. 

Hoes does vitamin D affect fitness?

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for absorbing calcium and phosphorus, which are necessary for healthy bones and teeth. It also plays a role in the immune system and muscle function.

Regarding fitness, vitamin D has been shown to increase muscle protein synthesis, strength, jump height and power, exercise capacity, and physical performance.

Vitamin D deficiency can lead to bone loss, muscle weakness, and an increased risk of fractures. Low vitamin D levels have been associated with decreased muscle function, strength, and endurance.
