Hormone Optimisation Assessment

Comprehensive hormonal assessment and optimisation programme evaluating thyroid, reproductive, adrenal, and metabolic hormones, with personalised protocols for hormone balance and targeted supplementation.

Hormonal balance is a cornerstone of healthy ageing, and The Longevity GP's hormone optimisation approach addresses the full spectrum of endocrine function — not just sex hormones, but the interconnected network of thyroid, adrenal, metabolic, and anabolic hormones that govern energy, body composition, mood, cognitive function, libido, and longevity. The assessment begins with a detailed clinical history covering symptoms of hormonal imbalance — fatigue, weight changes, sleep disruption, mood fluctuations, reduced libido, brain fog, and changes in menstrual patterns for women — alongside a comprehensive blood panel targeting key hormonal markers. For women, this includes oestrogen (estradiol), progesterone, FSH, LH, testosterone (total and free), DHEA-S, SHBG, and thyroid hormones (TSH, free T3, free T4). For men, the panel covers total and free testosterone, SHBG, oestradiol, LH, FSH, DHEA-S, and thyroid function. Adrenal health is assessed through cortisol and DHEA levels, with attention to HPA axis dysregulation — a common driver of fatigue, weight gain, and mood instability in high-stress individuals. Insulin and blood glucose markers are included to assess the interaction between metabolic hormones and reproductive function. Following blood analysis, Dr. Kwa Jie Min or the clinic's team of longevity-focused GPs develops a personalised hormonal optimisation protocol. This may include evidence-based supplementation (such as DHEA, magnesium, Vitamin D, zinc, or adaptogenic herbs), lifestyle interventions targeting sleep, nutrition, and exercise, and where clinically indicated, referral for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or bioidentical hormone protocols. Progress is monitored through repeat biomarker testing, typically at three to six month intervals, allowing protocols to be refined as the body responds to interventions. The goal is not just symptom relief, but sustained hormonal optimisation that supports energy, vitality, and longevity over the long term.
