Why are hormones important?
Hormones are chemical messengers transported through the bloodstream to various organs and tissues in the body.
All hormones are interconnected, meaning a disruption in one can impact the balance of others.
Hormones regulate various physiological processes including:
- Growth and development
- Metabolism
- Sleep-wake cycle
- Stress response
- Reproductive function
- Mental health
What does the Muse kit test for?
We currently offer two hormonal panels based on whether or not a woman is on hormonal birth control.
For women not on hormonal birth control and with regular cycles, we test:
- Feminine hormones (Estrogen, Progesterone)
- Androgen hormones (DHEA, Testosterone)
- 4 point Cortisol
- Thyroid (TSH, free T3, free T4, Anti-TPO)
For women not on hormonal birth control and with an irregular cycle, we test:
- Feminine hormones (LH, FSH, Estrogen, Progesterone)
- Androgen hormones (DHEA, Testosterone)
- Thyroid (TSH, free T3, free T4)
- Glycemic panel (Homa-IR, Insulin, Glucose)
- Vitamin panel (Vitamin D, Ferritin)
For women on hormonal birth control*, we test:
- Cortisol
- Thyroid (TSH, free T3, free T4)
- Vitamin panel (Ferritin, Vitamin D, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B12)
- Cholesterol (total, HDL, LDL)
- Inflammation marker (usCRP)
- Glycemic panel (Homa-IR, Insulin, Glucose)
*Hormonal birth control contains synthetic hormones that suppress the body's natural hormone cycle, reducing the production of hormones like estrogen and progesterone and thus requiring different set of inputs.
