The first step in becoming a patient at Optimize U is a comprehensive lab panel. These results will guide your provider in creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This is for NEW patients only.
What to expect during this appointment: We will collect several small vials of blood to send to assess your hormone levels, metabolic function, and general health
Testing will include:
Full hormone panel (Total and Free Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone, Thyroid, SHBG)
Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP)
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Lipid Panel
How to Prepare for Your Labs: Fast for at least 8 hours before your appointment (only water allowed) for accurate metabolic and lipid panel results.
Once your lab results are received (typically in about 5 business days), you’ll be scheduled for an in-person or telemedicine consultation to review your results and discuss potential treatment options. Schedule your new patient lab work today and take the first step toward hormone optimization!
