Hormones influence energy, mood, libido, weight and sleep. Our clinician-reviewed panels help build a clearer picture of what may be contributing to your symptoms.
Book Now →Onsite laboratory: samples are processed in the same building within minutes of collection, never in external transit. Faster turnaround, no sample degradation, results you can trust.
All panels include clinical review by a GMC-registered doctor. Same-day appointments at 134 Harley Street; turnaround varies by panel.
Our most popular hormone panel. A focused assessment of the hormonal axes that drive energy, mood, libido, hair, and body composition.
⏱ Most results within 4 hours of your appointment. DHT, oestradiol and the rest of the androgen panel returned within 24 hours. SHBG can take up to 48 hours.
Focused female hormonal axis panel covering FSH, LH, oestradiol, SHBG, total testosterone and free T4. The standard private screen for cycle irregularities, perimenopause investigation, PMOS (formerly known as PCOS) work-up, or any gynaecology-led hormone enquiry. Fasting preferred and morning appointment recommended for the cleanest thyroid reading. Tell us at booking if you are using hormonal contraception.
⏱ FSH, LH and free T4 returned within 4 hours of your appointment. Oestradiol and total testosterone returned within 24 hours. SHBG can take up to 48 hours (clinician then interprets the result before release).
Focused adrenal panel measuring morning cortisol and DHEA-sulfate. Strict timing matters: bloods must be drawn between 8 and 9 AM (10 AM is the absolute latest), after an 8 to 12 hour overnight fast (do not fast longer than 12 hours), to capture the natural cortisol peak. The standard first-line check of how your adrenal glands are working, used to investigate unexplained fatigue, stubborn hair shedding, or androgen-driven hair loss in women.
⏱ Cortisol returned within 4 hours of your appointment. DHEAS and total testosterone returned within 24 hours. SHBG can take up to 48 hours (clinician then interprets the result before release).
A focused testosterone panel covering total testosterone, free testosterone and DHT. Drawn 7 to 11 AM after an overnight fast as per BSSM testosterone deficiency guidance, and clinically reviewed.
⏱ Total testosterone and DHT returned within 24 hours of your appointment. Free testosterone is reported as a calculated value from SHBG plus albumin, so SHBG can take up to 48 hours before the full result is released by the clinician.

Direct-access hormone testing on Harley Street. No GP referral required.
Hormones do not announce themselves loudly. The signs that something is off are usually a slow drift across energy, mood, sleep, body composition, libido, and sometimes hair. Any cluster of the following is worth investigating.
Particularly if the fatigue is worst in the afternoon or you wake up unrefreshed. Thyroid function, iron studies and, where clinically indicated, the cortisol axis are useful first checks.
Often dismissed as stress or ageing but commonly traceable to testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, or thyroid status. All measurable on a single morning draw.
DHT in men, the androgen panel and oestradiol balance in women, plus thyroid antibodies. The Advanced Hair & Hormone Check covers all of these together.
FSH, LH, oestradiol, and prolactin tell the story. Particularly relevant in perimenopause investigation and PCOS work-up. See the Female Hormone Panel.
Thyroid dysfunction, low testosterone in men and perimenopausal oestrogen drops in women are measurable contributors that are worth ruling in or out. Often manageable once identified.
Insulin resistance, cortisol excess, and low testosterone all drive this pattern. Worth catching early before it becomes harder to reverse.
A hormone level is only useful in context. Our reports interpret each marker against your symptoms, age, sex, and the rest of your panel. These are the markers most commonly worth measuring.
Total testosterone is what most clinicians look at first. Free testosterone, calculated from SHBG, is the biologically active fraction and often the more useful number, especially in patients with insulin resistance or hyperthyroidism where SHBG shifts.
The active downstream androgen and the mechanistic driver of pattern hair loss at the follicle. Serum DHT is provided for context, though it correlates poorly with severity on its own. Useful when reviewing response to finasteride alongside clinical assessment.
The principal oestrogen. Useful as supporting context during the perimenopausal transition (NICE NG23 diagnoses perimenopause on symptoms alone in women over 45) and in men where raised oestradiol can contribute to symptoms often attributed to low testosterone.
Pituitary hormones that drive the ovaries and testes. FSH rises in perimenopause and menopause. In women under 45 it is the most useful single hormone marker; NICE NG23 advises against routine FSH testing in women over 45, where perimenopause is diagnosed clinically. The LH-to-FSH ratio is a supporting indicator in PCOS work-up.
The carrier protein for testosterone and oestradiol. Low SHBG is one of the earliest signs of insulin resistance, often years before HbA1c moves.
The adrenal axis. Useful in persistent fatigue that does not fit a thyroid or iron picture, in central weight gain with mood changes, and in women investigating androgen excess where the source may be adrenal rather than ovarian.
Affects metabolism, mood, energy, weight, and hair growth. A TSH on its own often misses the picture in patients with thyroid antibody positivity or central hypothyroidism.
NHS hormone testing follows NICE-guided referral thresholds and tends to test fewer markers per visit. Private testing offers wider panels reviewed by GMC-registered doctors, on your timeline.
We test multiple markers within each hormonal axis, not just the headline figure. Context matters.
Every result reviewed in the context of your symptoms, not just against population averages.
You'll leave with a clear understanding of your results and what, if anything, needs attention.
Re-test whenever your clinician recommends it. We keep a full record to compare results over time.
Book a same-day appointment. No referral required. Results reviewed by a qualified doctor.
