A comprehensive panel across eight groups, drawn in a single visit. Tap any marker to read what it measures, why we include it, and what can move the number.
The core of the panel, and the markers that are least useful in isolation. Your provider reads the relationships between them, not any single number.
Thyroid symptoms and low testosterone symptoms are close to identical. Measuring both in one draw is what stops one being mistaken for the other.
Baseline and ongoing monitoring, particularly before starting testosterone therapy. Men's panel.
Iron deficiency causes fatigue and brain fog that look like hormonal symptoms. Women's panel.
The red cell markers here are the primary safety group monitored on testosterone therapy. They are the reason follow-up bloodwork exists.
A baseline on kidney, liver and electrolyte function before any long-term medication, and the context that makes later changes interpretable.
Metabolic health and hormone health are tightly linked. Insulin resistance suppresses SHBG and travels with lower testosterone.
Several of these produce fatigue that looks like a hormone problem. Ruling them in or out in the same draw is worth doing.
Come fasted if your provider asks you to, which is usual when metabolic markers are included. For men, draws are typically scheduled in the morning, because testosterone follows a daily rhythm and is generally highest early. For women, appropriate timing depends on menstrual cycle status and which hormones are being measured, so we will tell you when to come in rather than apply one rule to everyone. Be well hydrated, since dehydration can raise hematocrit and make the reading look higher than your baseline. Tell us about any supplements you take, particularly biotin, because it interferes with several assays.
Ten minutes at one of our five clinics, or at any LabCorp in the country. The requisition is sent ahead, so there is nothing for you to arrange and nothing to carry in.
Usually within a week. Fifteen to thirty minutes with a member of our medical staff, in the clinic or by phone. They go through what your results actually show, explain what it means for you, and answer every question you have.
Then they ask about you. Energy, sleep, mood, libido, recovery, focus, body composition. Bloodwork tells us what is happening in your body. Only you can tell us what it feels like to live in it. This is included in the $249, not billed as a separate consult.
Follow-up panels are $99 and are the mechanism that keeps treatment safe over years rather than months. Hematocrit, estradiol, PSA and lipids are the ones watched most closely.
A comprehensive panel across eight groups in a single draw. That covers sex hormones, pituitary signaling hormones, thyroid, complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, lipids, blood sugar and insulin, inflammatory markers, vitamin levels, and prostate screening for men. Every marker on this page is tappable if you want the detail on any one of them.
Yes, and many people do. It’s a standalone service. You get the panel, the provider review, and the results to keep. Take them to your primary care doctor or do nothing at all. There’s no obligation and nobody will chase you.
Summit derives free testosterone from total testosterone, SHBG and albumin using a standard equation. Most clinical guidance prefers this to direct assays, which are less reliable and less reproducible between laboratories. Calculated values are consistent and comparable from draw to draw, which matters when you’re tracking change over time.
Usually yes, because the panel includes metabolic markers like fasting insulin and lipids. Your provider will confirm when your draw is scheduled.
At any of our five clinics, or at any LabCorp location in the country if you’re a telehealth patient. We send the order ahead, so you show up and go.
$249 for the comprehensive panel and the provider review together. Follow-up panels for active patients are $99. There is no membership fee, no doctor’s fee, and no separate charge to have your results explained to you.
$249, including the provider review. Yours to keep whether or not you go any further.
