What Are Hormone & Endocrine Panels?

Hormone & Endocrine Panels are advanced lab assessments that evaluate the body’s key hormonal systems — those responsible for energy, mood, metabolism, stress response, and reproductive health. These panels analyze blood, saliva, or serum samples to measure hormones that directly influence how you feel and function every day.

At Alpha Hormones® in Pasadena, our providers use these insights to help patients understand how hormonal balance affects performance, longevity, and well-being. By identifying subtle imbalances early, we empower you to take a proactive approach to optimizing your health.

Unlike general checkups, Hormone & Endocrine Panels focus on how hormones interact as a network, offering a dynamic picture of your body’s regulation and recovery systems.

By mapping your hormonal patterns, we can help you understand why you feel off-balance and how to bring your body back into alignment naturally and safely.

At Alpha Hormones® Pasadena, we tailor your testing to your goals, symptoms, and health history. Common panels include:

Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional tests only check for disease thresholds. Our panels look at optimal hormone ranges, providing a more precise view of functional health.

Your provider orders a customized panel based on your symptoms, age, medical history, and goals. Testing may include thyroid hormones, cortisol, DHEA-S, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, insulin, fasting glucose, and markers of metabolic health or inflammation.

Depending on your goals, our providers may recommend blood, serum, or saliva testing to capture free and bound hormone levels.

Most results are available within 3–7 business days, followed by a detailed consultation to review findings.

No. While our clinic is based in Pasadena, we provide hormone and endocrine testing throughout California, Florida, and Texas. Most labs can be completed at a local draw center, and all consultations are available via telehealth.

Anyone experiencing fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, weight fluctuations, sleep issues, low libido, irregular cycles, or difficulty managing stress may benefit from a hormone evaluation. Many patients choose testing even without symptoms to establish a baseline for long-term wellness.

Yes. We offer comprehensive hormone panels for men, women, and individuals transitioning or using hormone therapy. Testing is tailored to your physiology and goals — not a one-size-fits-all lab sheet.

Most labs are completed through a standard blood draw at our Pasadena location or a nearby partner lab. Certain panels — such as cortisol rhythm, DUTCH testing, or specialty endocrine profiles — may use saliva, urine, or dried blood spot kits that can be done at home.

Many diagnostic hormone labs are insurance-eligible when medically indicated. Specialty functional lab panels may require self-pay. We provide transparent pricing and can generate itemized receipts for reimbursement.
