Hormones, thyroid, metabolic, inflammation, micronutrients. The foundation under every WarriorBabe Health protocol. No real plan starts with a guess.
That's the most expensive sentence in modern medicine. The labs your annual physical runs were built to rule out disease, not to find what's actually going wrong with your hormones, your metabolism, or your energy.
Your physical might run a CBC, a basic metabolic panel, a lipid screen, and a TSH. That’s <15 markers, often interpreted against ranges built for the average 30-year-old.
Estradiol, progesterone, free testosterone, SHBG, DHEA, free T3, reverse T3, fasting insulin, hs-CRP, ferritin, B12, vitamin D, homocysteine, ApoB. Almost none of these get pulled in a routine visit.
Lab reference ranges are statistical. They're built from the population that walked into the lab to get tested. That population is mostly sick.
You don’t want to be in the middle of that distribution. You want to be in the optimal window for a healthy, active woman in your 40s or 50s. Those are different ranges. We use both.
50+ markers across hormones, thyroid, metabolic, inflammation, micronutrients, and cardiovascular health. Selected for women in perimenopause and menopause.
A clinician on our medical team reviews every panel. They look at trends, ratios, and your symptoms, not just whether each marker falls in 'normal range.'
One panel is a snapshot. Three or four panels over a year is a story. Your dashboard tracks every marker so you can see what’s moving.
Your labs aren't a one-time service. They directly drive your HRT, peptide, and supplement protocols, and re-runs adjust them.
Specific markers vary by your symptoms, history, and which protocol you’re entering. Here’s the framework.
Estradiol, progesterone, total and free testosterone, SHBG, DHEA-S, FSH, LH. The full picture, timed where the cycle still applies.
TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3, TPO antibodies. Most physicians run only TSH. You can have full-blown thyroid dysfunction with a normal TSH.
Fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, HbA1c. Insulin resistance hides for a decade before diabetes shows up, and it drives perimenopausal weight gain.
hs-CRP, homocysteine, ferritin (also iron status), full CBC. Chronic low-grade inflammation drives mood, joint pain, and metabolic dysfunction.
Vitamin D, B12, folate, magnesium where available. Deficiency in any of these can mimic hormone symptoms. We rule it out before treating.
Standard lipid panel plus ApoB and Lp(a) when indicated. The standard cholesterol panel misses most of what actually predicts heart disease in women.
A short intake captures your symptoms, history, and goals so your clinical team designs the right panel for your biology. Takes about 90 seconds.
Your medical team orders a 50+ marker panel. You'll get clear instructions to either get drawn at a nearby lab or use at-home phlebotomy. Results back in 5 to 7 business days.
Two private video visits with your clinical team. Your RN walks symptoms and history first, then your clinician reads every result with you and builds your protocol.
Your panel anchors your HRT, peptide, or supplement protocol. Compounded prescriptions and personalized supplements ship to your door. Standing 6-month re-runs keep your numbers in the optimal window.

Your physical typically runs 10 to 15 markers focused on disease screening. Our panel runs 50+ markers focused on hormone, metabolic, and inflammatory function, and is read against optimal ranges, not just standard reference ranges.
Often yes. We help you check eligibility before ordering, and many clients pay little or nothing out of pocket for the labs. If your insurance doesn't cover the panel, our cash-pay rates are typically a fraction of retail. HSA / FSA cards work everywhere.
We work with a nationwide network of labs. You can walk into one near you, or schedule at-home phlebotomy in many areas. Your closest options show up once your panel is ordered.
For accurate metabolic markers (insulin, glucose, lipids), yes. Typically a 10 to 12 hour overnight fast. We send you full prep instructions before your draw.
For most clients on an active protocol: a 6-week recheck after starting, then every 6 months. Big life changes (peri-to-meno transition, surgery, major weight change) warrant a re-pull.
If you don’t know your numbers, you’re flying blind. Many women come to us already on HRT and discover their dose is wrong, their thyroid was missed, or their inflammation markers are off. Then we fix it.
A short intake captures your symptoms, history, and goals. Your medical team uses it to design the right panel for your biology.
