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!
