A deeper look into hormone balance, adrenal health, toxin exposure, and metabolic resilience.

What Is the Hormone Metabolites Test?

This advanced hormone test goes far beyond basic bloodwork. Instead of simply measuring hormone levels, it reveals how your body actually uses, converts, detoxifies, and eliminates hormones.

It evaluates estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and all major hormone pathways, giving a complete picture of your metabolic and adrenal function.

It also screens for environmental endocrine disruptors — hidden chemicals that can mimic or block hormones and contribute to symptoms like fatigue, stubborn weight, mood swings, irregular cycles, low libido, and inflammation.

This test is ideal for identifying root causes of hormonal imbalance that aren't visible on standard labs.

Why Patients Choose This Test

People often pursue this test when they know something feels “off,” but routine hormone bloodwork doesn’t give answers.
This panel helps uncover:

• Persistent fatigue or energy crashes

• Brain fog, mood swings, irritability

• Trouble sleeping or waking unrefreshed

• Weight gain despite healthy lifestyle

• PMS, cycle changes, irregular bleeding

• Low libido or decreased motivation

• Stubborn symptoms despite hormone therapy

• Changes around perimenopause or menopause

• A history of toxin exposure (plastics, cosmetics, pesticides)

This test helps connect symptoms to their underlying metabolic and hormonal patterns.

What the Test Reveals

Hormone metabolite testing identifies five key areas that influence your overall hormone balance:

1. Hormone Metabolism & Clearance

Shows how well you detoxify and clear estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone through liver pathways.

2. Cortisol Curve & Adrenal Function

Maps your real-time daily cortisol rhythm — essential for stress resilience, energy, mood, and sleep.

3. Endocrine Disruptors & Environmental Toxins

Screens for hidden toxic burdens (BPA, phthalates, parabens, etc.) that can interfere with hormones.

4. Bone Health & Oxidative Stress Indicators

Bone turnover and oxidative markers offer early insights into inflammation, aging, and osteoporosis risk.

5. Neurohormone & Detox Pathways

Shows impairments in COMT and related pathways that influence mood, motivation, and stress tolerance.

How This Helps You

With a deep understanding of your hormone pathways, you can:

• Improve energy, mood, and mental clarity

• Reduce PMS, perimenopause symptoms, and cycle irregularities

• Support healthy metabolism and weight balance

• Improve sleep and stress resilience

• Identify toxin exposures that may be affecting hormones

• Strengthen hormone detoxification pathways

• Optimize hormone therapy if already using it

This test provides the roadmap for understanding how and why your hormones behave the way they do — and what steps can help restore balance.

Who Benefits Most from Hormone Metabolite Testing?

This test is especially helpful for individuals who experience:

• Hormone symptoms that haven’t improved with treatment

• Low energy, frequent crashes, or “wired and tired” patterns

• Mood swings, irritability, or brain fog

• Weight gain, belly fat changes, or slow metabolism

• Hot flashes, night sweats, or perimenopausal shifts

• Fertility concerns or cycle irregularities

• Chronic stress or feeling “burned out”

• A history of toxin exposure or chemical sensitivity

• Poor sleep patterns or trouble winding down

What Patients Can Expect After Testing

This test can help guide:

• Hormone-balancing strategies

• More precise use of bioidentical hormones when needed

Understanding your hormone pathways empowers you to take control of your health in a targeted, informed way — supporting clearer mood, steady energy, and balanced hormones.

A deeper look at digestion, inflammation, immunity, and metabolic balance.

What Is the Gut Health Test?

This is an advanced at-home stool test that analyzes your microbiome, digestion, inflammation, and immune activity. It reveals imbalances that traditional testing often misses — helping uncover the root causes of symptoms like bloating, fatigue, skin issues, and food sensitivities.

This test gives you a full picture of how well your gut is functioning and how it may be influencing your metabolism, hormones, and overall health.

Why Patients Choose This Test

Many people struggle with ongoing digestive issues or feeling “inflamed” without answers. This test helps identify what’s driving those symptoms.

Patients choose the Gut Zoomer because it helps uncover:

• Persistent bloating, gas, constipation, or diarrhea

• Brain fog, fatigue, or low energy

• Acne, eczema, rashes, or unexplained skin flares

• Weight changes that don’t respond to diet

• Food reactions or multiple food sensitivities

• A history of antibiotic use or recurrent gut infections

• Suspected candida or dysbiosis

• Ongoing immune issues, inflammation, or “leaky gut” concerns

This test is ideal if you’ve tried “everything” and still feel something is off in your digestion or immune system.

What the Test Reveals

Gut testing provides insights into five major digestive and immune areas:

1. Microbiome Balance

Shows healthy vs. disruptive bacteria, yeast, or pathogens that may impact digestion, immunity, and mood.

2. Gut Inflammation & Immune Reactivity

Markers like calprotectin and S100A12 help detect gut-driven inflammation.

3. Gut Barrier Integrity (“Leaky Gut”)

Identifies whether your gut lining is compromised, contributing to food reactions, autoimmunity, or systemic inflammation.

4. Detox & Hormone Clearance

Beta-glucuronidase and SCFA profiles show how well your gut supports detox pathways and estrogen metabolism.

5. Digestive Function

Enzyme markers, bile acids, and fat malabsorption indicators show how well you are breaking down and absorbing nutrients.

How This Helps You

With clear data about your gut ecosystem, you can:

• Reduce bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort

• Improve nutrient absorption and energy levels

• Support healthy metabolism and weight balance

• Enhance immune resilience and reduce inflammation

• Improve skin health from the inside out

• Support hormone balance through gut-driven detox pathways

• Understand which foods or factors are aggravating your system

This test helps pinpoint why your gut isn’t functioning optimally — and what areas need support for long-term progress.

Who Benefits Most from Gut Testing?

Gut testing is especially helpful for people who struggle with:

• Digestive issues that don’t resolve

• Fatigue or brain fog linked to inflammation

• Skin issues like acne, eczema, or rashes

• Weight resistance despite healthy eating

• Autoimmune conditions or chronic inflammation

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or IBD history

• Reactions to multiple foods

• Trouble sleeping or waking unrefreshed

• Anxiety, overwhelm, or low stress resilience

• Cardiovascular concerns like elevated homocysteine

• A family history of inflammation or premature aging

• Desire to optimize longevity, cellular repair, and resilience

Methylation influences so many systems that imbalances often show up as subtle but persistent symptoms.

What the Test Reveals

Methylation testing offers insight into five key functional areas:

1. Detoxification & Antioxidant Pathways

Shows how your body clears toxins and manages oxidative stress.

2. Neurotransmitter Support (Mood & Focus)

Reveals patterns that influence serotonin, dopamine, and stress-response pathways.

3. Cardiovascular & Inflammatory Markers

Homocysteine and related markers identify cardiovascular risk and inflammation.

4. B-Vitamin & Nutrient Processing

Shows whether your body is efficiently using nutrients like B9 and B12 for energy, brain health, and DNA repair.

5. Genetic Methylation Support Enzymes

Includes insights into MTHFR, MTR/MTRR, COMT, BHMT, and others that influence detox, hormones, mood, and cellular health.

How This Helps You

With this test, you gain a clearer understanding of:

• Why you may feel fatigued, foggy, or inflamed
