Why Every Protocol Starts With Labs
Standard dosing is a statistical average applied to an individual. Biomarker-driven titration replaces the guess with a measurement.
A starting dose derived from a trial population is a reasonable first estimate and a poor final answer.
Variation is the rule
Absorption, receptor sensitivity, hepatic clearance and baseline status vary widely between people. Averages describe populations, not patients.
Baseline before prescription
Our intake orders a metabolic and hormonal baseline before the first prescription is written — not after. That panel is the reference every later decision is measured against.
Titrate against the trend
Follow-up labs land at checkpoints tied to each compound's pharmacokinetics, and doses move against a trend line rather than a single value.
Frequently asked
How often will I need labs?
Typically at baseline, at around 12 weeks, and then every six months on stable therapy.
Where do I get blood drawn?
At a partner lab near you; requisitions are issued digitally after your consultation.
