Test Hormones That Can Help You Gain Or Lose Weight Along With Keeping Your Energy Level High

TEST LIST
Cortisol is produced in the adrenal glands and is released in response to acute stressors, like illness, exercise, and emotional stressors. Cortisol is often called your body’s “stress hormone”. Cortisol has many roles in the body though, including helping control blood sugar levels and regulating energy metabolism. In most healthy people, cortisol levels peak in the morning and are lowest in the middle of the night.
Testosterone is primarily produced by the testes in men and by the ovaries in women, with a small amount produced by the adrenal glands. Free testosterone is not attached to proteins, whereas total testosterone includes free testosterone and testosterone that is bound to the proteins albumin and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in the blood. Testosterone is important for bone density, libido, body fat distribution, and supporting muscle mass in both men and women.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH, is the hormone responsible for controlling the production of the thyroid hormones, T3 and T4, by the thyroid gland. The hormone TSH is considered the most sensitive marker for screening for thyroid diseases and conditions. KLDC provides us with a reliable, accurate, and insightful window into ourselves.
