A testosterone test measures key hormone levels that influence energy, mood, muscle strength, and overall vitality. For both men and women, it helps identify imbalances that may cause fatigue, low libido, or changes in body composition. Regular testosterone testing provides valuable insight into your hormonal health, guiding lifestyle choices and treatment options that support long-term well-being.
