Common Questions About Testosterone Testing

Who should get tested for low testosterone?

Men over 40 with symptoms like low libido, fatigue, or erectile dysfunction. Also men with obesity, diabetes, or pituitary disorders. Women with symptoms of hormonal imbalance may also benefit.

How is the test performed?

A simple blood draw from your arm. The sample is sent to our laboratory for analysis. The procedure takes only a few minutes.

Why test in the morning?

Testosterone levels follow a circadian rhythm, peaking in the morning (around 8 AM) and declining throughout the day. Morning testing provides the most accurate baseline.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

No, you can request testing directly. However, we recommend consulting with our doctor before and after testing for proper interpretation.

What is the difference between total and free testosterone?

Total testosterone measures all testosterone in your blood (bound and unbound). Free testosterone is the active form available to your tissues. Both are important for accurate assessment.

Can women get testosterone testing?

Yes, women can and should have testosterone testing if they have symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Testosterone is important for women's health too.

What happens if my levels are low?

Our doctor will discuss management options which may include lifestyle changes, medication, or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) if appropriate.

Natural Ways to Support Healthy Testosterone

Lifestyle factors that can help maintain optimal levels

Exercise Regularly

Resistance training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are particularly effective for boosting testosterone.

Prioritize Sleep

Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Poor sleep significantly reduces testosterone production.

Balanced Nutrition

Include healthy fats, protein, and zinc-rich foods. Avoid processed foods and excess sugar.

Manage Stress

Chronic stress increases cortisol, which can suppress testosterone production.

Healthy Weight

Excess body fat, especially abdominal fat, is linked to lower testosterone levels.

Limit Alcohol

Excessive alcohol consumption can negatively impact testosterone production.
