This follow-up panel checks key hormone levels and blood counts to see how your pellet therapy is working and identify potential causes for your symptoms. It helps monitor testosterone, estradiol, and SHBG levels, along with your overall blood health, to ensure optimal treatment and address issues like low energy or mood changes. By evaluating these markers, we can fine-tune your therapy and pinpoint the reasons behind symptoms like decreased libido, poor sleep, or weight gain.

Finding the cause(s) of:

• Decreased libido: This panel checks testosterone levels, which directly influence sexual desire, helping to identify hormonal imbalances causing decreased libido.
• Difficulty concentrating: Hormone imbalances, particularly low testosterone or high estradiol, can affect cognitive function, and this panel helps evaluate these levels to understand potential causes for concentration issues.
• Irritability: Fluctuations in testosterone and estradiol levels can impact mood, and this panel helps assess these hormones to see if they contribute to irritability.
• Low energy: This panel includes a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to check for anemia and evaluates hormone levels like testosterone, which are crucial for energy levels, helping identify underlying causes for fatigue.
• Poor sleep: Hormone levels, especially testosterone and estradiol, can significantly impact sleep quality, and this panel helps determine if hormonal imbalances are contributing to poor sleep.
• Weight gain: This panel checks hormone levels, including testosterone and estradiol, which play a role in metabolism and body composition, helping to investigate potential hormonal contributions to weight gain.
