d. Comprehensive 11 Hormone Panel (Masculinity Ratio + Strength & Recovery Ratio + 7 other hormones) 

Step 2. Read Dr. Rick's Recommendation (bolded) for each assessment and then add to cart one or more of the above assessment order combinations.

Step 3. Upon checkout, add your coupon code (if you have one) to get a $49 credit on your purchase.

Step 4. Please complete the post-purchase survey after you order! We need it to create and send your lab requisition and shipping label. Soon after you order, you will receive these two very important documents and then you can begin your test!

This most basic assessment will provide you with your levels of active or free testosterone. This is the portion of your total testosterone that can signal the cells to perform. In combination with how you feel, this inexpensive assessment allows for regular and periodic insight into how your testosterone levels might be affecting your health, fitness, and energy. 

Dr. Rick Recommendation: It is highly recommended that you assess your Masculine Ratio along with this test for both testosterone and estradiol levels and a more complete hormonal picture.

A high estradiol (estrogen) level is a serious roadblock on your path toward optimal male hormonal health. While small amounts of male estrogen are important for healthy brain function and libido, high levels of estrogen can reduce testosterone by directly inhibiting its production.

Excess estrogen reduces your Masculine Ratio which can lead to difficulty losing body fat, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, sexual dysfunction, prostate enlargement, and more. Common causes of high estrogen are excess body fat, exposure to environmental chemicals, a zinc deficiency, medication and/or alcohol use.

Dr. Rick's Recommendation: It is essential to know and frequently assess your Masculine Ratio, choosing this test is mandatory for optimizing wellness and vitality.  For even more information, choose the Strength & Recovery Ratio + Masculine Ratio assessment!

The adrenal hormone, cortisol, is essential for allowing the body to meet the daily challenges of life. While short term elevations of cortisol are important for dealing with life threatening issues, illness and wound healing, chronically elevated levels cause fatigue, depression, muscle loss, bone destruction, obesity, diabetes, and accelerated aging.

DHEA (the most abundant cortisol steroid hormone) is not only an important building block (precursor) for testosterone, it is also critical for a healthy stress response. Low DHEA levels have been associated with rapid aging, poor immune function, depression, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, hypothyroidism, and diabetes.

Dr. Rick's Recommendation: Reach peak health and performance by balancing and monitoring your Strength & Recovery Ratio and your Masculine Ratio.

This profile assesses all the major androgen precursors and metabolites. It includes the four hormones in the Masculinity and Strength & Recovery Ratios plus an additional seven hormones including DHT (dihydrotestosterone) estrone, estriol, progesterone. androstenedione, 17-OH progesterone and melatonin.  

Dr. Ricks Recommendation: Choose this panel if you want the convenience of saliva test and are concerned with how you look and feel and have issues such as fatigue, hair loss, prostate, male breast enlargement, and/or reduced erectile function. 

Here is a snapshot of just some of the hormones included:

Testosterone, the dominant testicular androgen, is the precursor to 5-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The androgenic effect in various tissues is not exerted by testosterone but by the locally produced DHT

DHEA/DHEA-S, the main adrenal androgens, are the precursors to both testosterone and estradiol, and are the limiting factor in their production, especially when the patient is under stress.

Estradiol, an estrogen with more proliferative properties. It is formed partially in the testes, but mostly by aromatase enzyme action in peripheral tissues from both testicular and adrenal androgens.

Progesterone, a precursor to all androgens and is a physiologic modulator of DHT production.

Estrone, the major estrogen in men and is the product of the peripheral aromatization of androstenedione in fat and muscle tissue.

Dihydrotestosterone, the most potent androgen; is three to five times more potent than testosterone. DHT is derived partially by direct secretion from the testes, but mostly by conversion from testosterone and other androgens in target tissues (scalp, skin, prostate, liver, and others) from five alpha-reductase enzyme activities.
