How to Order Hormone Testing on PrivateMDLabs (For Women Interested in BHRT)

If you’re curious about hormone replacement therapy or simply want to understand your hormonal health better, comprehensive lab testing is the best place to start.
At All-American Weight Loss and Wellness, we encourage all women interested in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to complete baseline hormone testing before beginning treatment.

Why Hormone Testing Matters

Your hormones influence nearly every aspect of your health — from metabolism and energy levels to mood, sleep, and sexual wellness.
Testing before starting BHRT helps:

  • Identify imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid function

  • Provide a baseline for individualized dosing and future comparison

  • Detect underlying root causes of fatigue, weight gain, and other symptoms

  • Ensure your treatment is safe, personalized, and effective

Which Test to Order

For women considering BHRT, I recommend starting with the Women’s Hormone Medium Test available through PrivateMDLabs.com

Test name: Women’s Hormone Medium Test
Price: $289
Lab partner: Quest Diagnostics (no extra lab fees)
HSA/FSA eligible: Yes
Turnaround time: About 7 business days

This test provides a comprehensive look at your overall health and hormone balance — far beyond what a standard hormone panel includes.

What’s Included in the Women’s Hormone Medium Test

This panel gives a full picture of your hormonal and metabolic health, including:

  • CBC (Complete Blood Count) – red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets

  • Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) – liver and kidney function, electrolytes, glucose

  • Lipid Panel – cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL

  • Thyroid with TSH – evaluates baseline thyroid function

  • Sex Hormones – estradiol, progesterone, total & free testosterone (LC/MS/MS)

  • FSH & LH – reproductive axis markers

  • Cortisol (Total) – adrenal function

  • Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) – bone health, mood, immunity

  • Vitamin B12 – common micronutrient essential for energy and focus

  1. Visit PrivateMDLabs.com

  3. Add the test to your cart and complete checkout.
