Lab Work
Understanding your lab results is important. Our clinical team has over 30 years of combined experience to help understand not only your testosterone levels, but how your overall health is. This ensures you can qualify for testosterone treatment.
On average, our clients have a 30% increase in testosterone levels, analyzed quarterly by our providers through lab work.
How Often should I have labs?
Labs are an important part of managing your health, particularly during testosterone treatment. If you are currently on treatment and not having labs at least every 3-4 months, you should ask the question, what’s going on with my body? As you replace your testosterone your body can make changes, you should be aware of that, managed by a provider.
At Mantality, we perform labs before starting treatment to ensure a baseline is established and you are healthy enough to consider treatment. If you are cleared by a provider and start treatment, we do labs at week 5 and 10 to see how your body metabolizes the medication and can make adjustments particular to the person, not a cookie-cutter system.
At 10 weeks, we’ve established your body’s response and have a correct dose, we then do lab work on average every 3 months to ensure you limit symptoms and stay healthy.
Lab Testing - For Clients, By Providers
Hormonal imbalances like low testosterone (low T) can impact your energy, strength, metabolism, and overall wellness. With Mantality Health’s at home testosterone test kit, you can understand your hormone health and receive personalized treatment recommendations from licensed providers. Through comprehensive analysis, we’ll check critical biomarkers like testosterone, estradiol, and LH/FSH levels.
What Biomarkers Are Tested?
Total and Free Testosterone
We will find out your total and free testosterone levels
Albumin
Increasing your testosterone allows your strength to go up. It also helps your body deliver nutrients faster helping your workouts elevate to a higher level.
SHBG

While it’s no surprise that testosterone helps increase your muscle mass, but how does it do that? Testosterone helps increase protein muscle synthesis by roughly 27%.1 .Most men see an increase in body weight by about 5%. This is due to the increased muscle mass and reduction in body fat, generally seen as good weight.
Estradiol
Testosterone promotes the increase in lean muscle mass which increases a patient’s metabolic rate burning more calories thus promoting a decrease in body fat. In fact, most men in a recent study who increased their total testosterone levels lost an average of 3 kg (6.6 lbs), those in the study who did not have increased testosterone but continued to work out and diet lost an average of 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs) of muscle mass. 2
