Providers that include comprehensive lab panels in their BHRT programs include Coachlight Clinic (offering a $349 Comprehensive Blood Panel Review covering hormones, vitamins, and metabolic markers), Flow Wellness (running a comprehensive baseline assessment with CBC, CMP, CRP, lipids, A1c, insulin, thyroid, and more), and BodyLogicMD (which requires extensive blood and urine testing for a full hormonal profile). Most reputable BHRT providers, such as those following the guidelines highlighted by Salt Lake City GYN, typically include core panels like CBC, CMP, full thyroid panel, lipids, fasting glucose/A1c, and insulin, plus sex-hormone markers when clinically indicated [1].
For the most complete and personalized approach, consider:
- Coachlight Clinic (Des Moines, IA): Their Comprehensive Blood Panel Review goes beyond standard testing to assess hormone levels, vitamin status, electrolyte balance, and metabolic indicators [2].
- Flow Wellness: Their baseline hormone assessment includes 10–12 core tests such as CRP (inflammation), Lipid Panel, HgA1c, Insulin, and a full Thyroid Panel [3].
- BodyLogicMD: Emphasizes extensive urine testing to measure hormone metabolites alongside blood work for a true comprehensive view [5].
These clinics prioritize safety, general health screening, and hormone-specific analysis before starting BHRT, ensuring therapy is tailored to your unique physiology.
