Hormone health, explained — and backed by real sources
My Hormone Tests is an independent, non-commercial encyclopedia of hormone health. We explain what your blood tests measure, how hormone treatments actually work, and what the latest research says — in plain language, with every clinical statement linked to an authoritative source you can check yourself.
Hormones are chemical messengers made by the endocrine system that regulate metabolism, growth, mood, reproduction, sleep, and the stress response. Because they coordinate so much of the body, measuring them in blood is one of the main ways clinicians assess endocrine health. We exist to make that information clear, trustworthy, and free.

Is My Hormone Tests a clinic or a lab?
No. We are an independent educational publisher. We do not order tests, sell products, or provide diagnosis or treatment. We explain hormone health so you can have better conversations with your own clinician.
Can I use this site to interpret my own lab results?
You can use it to understand what a test measures and what terms mean, but the only valid interpretation of your results is one made by a qualified clinician who knows your history and the laboratory's reference ranges.
