Four markers — Total Testosterone, LH, Hematocrit, PSA Total — reported against their reference ranges. The focused check for men starting or actively on testosterone therapy. Not just "in range." Where you actually sit.

Four questions every man on TRT carries between checkups. All four answered with a single draw.
A guess based on how you feel between checkups, with no real numbers behind it.
No way to confirm what TRT is doing upstream without measuring luteinizing hormone.
Hematocrit can drift up on therapy — flying blind between checkups is how patients miss it.
The screen most physicians want before and during testosterone therapy.
Scroll, or tap the pill above to snap.
You're considering testosterone therapy and want a focused starting read — Total T, LH, Hematocrit, PSA Total — so your physician has the four numbers that matter before you begin.
You're on therapy and your physician wants the standard 90-day or 6-month re-check. The four markers that get watched between annual full panels.
You're cycling off or finishing post-cycle therapy and want to confirm your endogenous axis is responding. Total T and LH read together tell the recovery story.
Every marker shows up with the range it is measured against, so you can see what to act on first. Here's a glimpse of the actual report layout.
3 of 4 markers inside their reference range. 1 (Hematocrit) flagged for elevated reading commonly described on testosterone therapy. Full marker list below.
Elevated at 51.2%, just above the standard reference upper limit. Commonly described on testosterone therapy as the body's red-cell response. Not concerning in isolation, but worth a hydration check, a conversation about scheduled blood donation, and a re-check at your next 90-day draw to keep it in range.
Explained with the free OPTML Lab Decoder
Illustrative sample report. Your actual report shows your numbers across all 38 markers with the reference range each one is measured against. The Optimization score shown comes from the free OPTML Score tool, not from the lab report.
Run the TRT Panel every 90 days and your therapy starts telling a story. Four examples across the four panel markers — what stable, monitored TRT commonly looks like over a year.
320 → 740 ng/dL Pre-TRT → stable on therapy
44 → 51 % Climbing on therapy — monitored
4.2 → 0.4 mIU/L HPG axis response on therapy
0.9 → 1.1 ng/mL Stable in standard range
Illustrative tracking pattern across four representative markers. Trends shown reflect the patient's lifestyle and protocol interventions — the Optimized Health Panel measures biomarkers; it does not directly affect them. Individual results vary. Educational reference only.

For patients who want the deepest possible view across every body system — heart, hormones, thyroid, inflammation, metabolism, longevity composites, heavy metals — we built The Apex Panel. The right call if you want to see everything, not just what's most relevant right now.
Different jobs. Many patients run a focused panel like this one annually and the Apex Panel every two to three years as a deep-dive baseline.
Explore the Apex PanelWhen your results land
A physician orders your panel. They do not review your results. Your report comes straight back to you, listing every marker with the reference range it is measured against.
The OPTML Lab Decoder is how you make sense of it. It explains what each marker is, what moves it, and which combinations are worth raising with a physician. Paste your report in and it reads the numbers for you.
Educational only. It does not diagnose anything, it does not replace a physician, and your laboratory remains the one that decides what falls inside its reference range.
Open the Lab Decoder →Your full lab report, usually in 2 to 3 business days, listing every marker with the reference range it is measured against. A U.S.-licensed physician reviews your intake and orders the panel. They do not review or interpret your results, so the report comes straight back to you to read. The free Lab Decoder explains what every marker means.
The lab report gives you the reference range for every marker. To go further, use the free tools on this site: the OPTML Score grades your numbers against optimal ranges, the Lab Decoder takes every marker on your panel and explains what each one is, what moves it, and which combinations are worth raising with a physician, and the biomarker library covers every marker on the panel.
Run annually, this panel works as a baseline. If you're starting a protocol (TRT, GLP-1, hormone therapy), running it pre-protocol and again 90 days in is a common pattern.
Any location in our lab network, about 3,800 nationwide: Quest and Labcorp, plus BioReference in New York and New Jersey. Not Hawaii or North Dakota, where the network has no location.

Four markers: Total Testosterone, LH, Hematocrit, and PSA. It's a focused panel for monitoring testosterone therapy, not a broad metabolic workup.

It's a focused 4-marker blood panel (Total Testosterone, LH, Hematocrit, and PSA) for men starting or on testosterone therapy. It's drawn at Quest or LabCorp, and it's $75.
Testosterone therapy can affect markers like hematocrit and PSA, so tracking them helps your physician manage your therapy safely over time. Ongoing lab monitoring is a standard part of hormone therapy. Individual needs vary.
No. Lab results are educational and do not diagnose or treat anything on their own. Your own physician interprets them in the context of your full health picture. Not sure which panel fits you? Take the 60-second quiz.
