What Is a Basic Hormone Panel?
A Basic Hormone Panel (BHP) measures key markers, including Total Testosterone, Estradiol, Free T3, Free T4, TSH, DHEA-S, and Cortisol, providing a snapshot of your endocrine health in one vial of blood.
Why You Need a Baseline
Mountain biking in Corner Canyon or endless powder days at Snowbird, our high-altitude, high-adventure lifestyle demands top hormone performance. If you’re slogging through daily tasks, a BHP can reveal why.
Symptoms a BHP Can Uncover
- Afternoon crashes
- Sleepless nights
- Mood swings
- Weight gain
The Testing Process
- Fasting blood draw: before 10 AM for peak accuracy.
- Lab turnaround: 24-48 hrs.
- Provider review: detailed explanation, not just “You’re normal.”
Reading the Results
- Reference ranges aren’t one-size-fits-all. We look for optimal ranges (e.g., TSH 1.0–2.0 µIU/mL).
- We correlate labs with how you feel + data + context = actionable plan.
Next Steps After a Basic Panel
- Lifestyle modifications: Sleep hygiene, micronutrient tweaks.
- Targeted supplements: Vitamin D (sunshine isn’t enough in winter inversion).
- Advanced testing: Move to an Extensive Hormone Panel if mysteries remain.
