Why Not Just See My GP?

GP services are essential for diagnosing illness. However:

  • Routine full health screening isn’t always available

  • Advanced hormone or performance panels are rarely offered

  • Appointment wait times can be long

Our service is ideal for:

  • Preventative health monitoring

  • Performance optimisation

  • Hormone assessment

  • Reassurance and clarity

It complements — not replaces — your GP care

Do I Need to Fast?

Some tests (cholesterol, glucose, insulin) may require fasting for 8–12 hours. If required:

  • Drink water only

  • Avoid tea, coffee and supplements

  • Continue prescribed medication unless advised otherwise

We’ll confirm when you book.

FAQs

A specialised blood test designed to assess the key hormones that influence men’s physical, sexual, and mental health. It provides a clear picture of your hormonal balance and how it may be affecting your energy, mood, strength, and overall wellbeing.

This profile includes 10 essential biomarkers:

Testosterone

Free Testosterone (calculated)

Free Androgen Index

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)

DHEA-Sulphate (DHEAS)

Oestradiol (E2)

Prolactin

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

Luteinising Hormone (LH)

Albumin

These hormones work together to regulate key aspects of male health, including:

Energy levels and fatigue

Muscle mass and strength

Fat distribution

Libido and sexual function

Fertility and sperm production

Mood, focus, and mental wellbeing

Bone health

Even small imbalances can have a noticeable impact on how you feel day to day.

This test is suitable for all men, whether you are:

Experiencing symptoms like low energy, low libido, or brain fog

Monitoring your health as you age

Considering or already using hormone treatments

Simply looking to optimise your performance and wellbeing

Yes. Hormone levels — particularly testosterone — naturally decline from around age 30, with a more noticeable drop later in life. Monitoring these levels helps you understand what’s normal for you and whether action may be needed.

Male hormones operate as a system:

Testosterone drives physical and sexual health

SHBG controls how much testosterone is available to your body

DHEAS supports hormone production

LH & FSH regulate testosterone and sperm production

Oestradiol supports libido and reproductive function

Prolactin helps balance testosterone levels

This test looks at the full picture — not just one hormone — to give meaningful insight into your health.

For best results:

Book a morning appointment (hormones peak early in the day)

Fast for 8–12 hours beforehand (water is allowed)

Avoid heavy exercise and alcohol before your test

Stay well hydrated

A phlebotomy blood sample is required and is taken by trained professionals at our branch or one of our partner clinic locations. We do not offer home testing.

Results are typically available within a few days, presented in a clear report with reference ranges.

If any levels are outside the normal range, you can take informed next steps — whether that’s lifestyle changes, further testing, or speaking with a healthcare professional about treatment options.

No — this test provides detailed insight into your hormone health but is not a standalone diagnosis. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice.
