About the test

This test measures five essential hormones that are known to affect women’s overall health and wellness

This test will measure your estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and morning cortisol to determine whether your levels are within the normal range. Together, these hormone levels can offer a broad overview of your hormonal balance and overall health and wellness.

Estradiol

Estradiol (E12) is the strongest of the three naturally occurring estrogens. Although it is the primary female hormone, estradiol is found in all sexes. The ovaries produce estradiol. As one of the primary sex hormones responsible for ovulation, it is vital to reproductive health and pregnancy. After menopause, estradiol levels decline significantly. Estradiol also plays a role in developing bone and female-associated sex characteristics and is needed for optimal brain and reproductive system functioning.

Progesterone

In women, progesterone is most commonly known for its role in maintaining normal menstrual cycles and early stages of pregnancy. Low levels of progesterone can cause abnormal cycles and problems with conception. Low levels may also result in higher estrogen levels, which can decrease sex drive and cause weight gain. On the contrary, high progesterone levels can lead to symptoms like mood swings, bloating, and breast tenderness.

Free Testosterone

Testosterone, often regarded as the male sex hormone, is essential for libido, bone density, body fat distribution, and muscle mass support across all sexes. In women, testosterone is produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands. Most testosterone produced in the ovary is converted to estradiol. Free testosterone refers to the testosterone that is not attached to proteins. Total testosterone includes free testosterone and testosterone bound to the proteins in the blood.

DHEA

DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, is an androgen hormone that is primarily produced by the adrenal glands. DHEA is 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. DHEA peaks in early adulthood and gradually decreases with age.

Cortisol

Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is 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. It also controls 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.

Questions and Answers

What is an at-home women’s health test?

The Home Test Box At-Home Women’s Health Test measures five hormones that can affect a woman’s mood, weight, sex drive, muscle mass, and energy levels.

What markers are measured in an at-home women’s health test?

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

  • Estradiol
  • Progesterone
  • Testosterone
  • DHEA
  • Cortisol

How to test hormone levels?

You can check hormone levels with an at-home test or at a clinic. The Home Test Box at-home Women’s Health Test uses a saliva sample you collect in the morning by spitting in a tube that comes with the kit. You then mail the sample to a lab. You will be not and get your results online. Hormone testing at a clinic usually involves a blood test, during which blood is drawn from a vein in your arm.

What will my results tell me?

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.

What is cortisol, and how does it affect women’s health?

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 influence weight. 

However, chronically elevated cortisol can slow our metabolism and hinder weight loss. 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.

What is DHEA, and how does it affect women’s health?

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. 

While some preliminary research suggests that DHEA may have a role in weight loss by increasing muscle mass and decreasing body fat, others show little effect on weight.  Therefore, more research is needed to understand the effects of DHEA on weight loss fully and to determine its safety and effectiveness as a weight loss supplement. 

It’s important to note that the FDA does not approve DHEA supplements for weight loss, and it's not well understood how they interact with other medications or supplements. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any supplement.

For athletes, DHEA is banned by World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

What is estradiol, and how does it affect women’s health?

Estradiol is a type of estrogen, a hormone that is primarily produced in the ovaries in women. It is also produced in the adrenal glands, body fat, and, during pregnancy, the placenta. 

Estradiol is the most potent form of estrogen and the most prevalent during a female’s reproductive years. 

Some functions of estradiol include the following:

  • Growth of reproductive organs 
  • Development of sexual characteristics
  • Menstrual cycle regulation
  • Supports bone growth and maintains bone and joint health


Too much estradiol may result in acne, loss of sex drive, osteoporosis, and depression.

What does it mean if your estrogen levels are out of the normal range?

Estrogen levels fluctuate throughout life, rising during puberty and falling approaching menopause. 

They can also change depending on the stage of your menstrual cycle. It’s normal for estrogen levels to rise during ovulation and drop when you are on your period.

However, levels that are consistently high or low can be related to an underlying condition. If your levels are out of range, consult a healthcare provider.

What is progesterone, and how does it affect women’s health?

Progesterone is a female sex hormone primarily produced by the ovaries after ovulation. Progesterone’s main job is to get your uterus ready for pregnancy, but it also helps regulate your menstrual cycle. 

Low progesterone levels can affect the ability to get or stay pregnant.

What are the symptoms of low progesterone in non-pregnant women?

Symptoms of low progesterone in non-pregnant women include:

  • Headaches and migraines
  • Mood changes
  • Menstrual cycle irregularity

What is testosterone, and how does it affect women’s health?

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 also found in women. However, women produce much less than men. 

Too much testosterone is associated with irregular or absent menstrual periods. It is also linked to increased body hair, frontal balding, acne, an enlarged clitoris, and a deepened voice. High testosterone can also lead to infertility.
