Free Bio-Tools for Men

When it comes to checking your Testosterone, most primary care practitioners will order certain labs for you. When they order Testosterone, it is almost always Total Testosterone. It not bad to check your TT (total testosterone), but it doesn't give you a clear enough picture of what's going on.

Through these Bio-Tools, you can get a very basic estimation on your FREE Testosterone and your Bio-Available Testosterone. We also attached a SHIM (Sexual Health Inventory for Men) Test for ED.

To learn more, visit our office and receive a Blood (plasma) and Saliva Test.

Free Testosterone Estimation

Testosterone Calculator

Free Testosterone refers to the unbound and biologically active fraction of testosterone circulating in the bloodstream. Unlike total testosterone, which includes both bound and free forms, free testosterone represents the portion of the hormone that is readily available to interact with androgen receptors in various tissues throughout the body. Calculating free testosterone is particularly relevant in understanding an individual's hormonal status and assessing potential hormonal imbalances.

So-Called "Normal" Free Testosterone Ranges

Age ................................. Adult Male

30 - <35..............................4.85-19.0
35 - <40
..............................4.65-18.1

40 - <45 .............................4.46-17.1

45 - <50..............................4.26-16.4

50 - <55............................. 4.06-15.6

55 - <60............................. 3.87-14.7

60 - <65..............................3.67-13.9

65 - <70..............................3.47-13.0

70 - <75..............................3.28-12.2

75 - <80..............................3.08-11.3

Bio-Available Testosterone Estimation

Testosterone Calculator

Bioavailable Testosterone represents the fraction of testosterone that is both free and loosely bound to albumin in the bloodstream, making it biologically active and available for cellular uptake. Calculating bioavailable testosterone is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of an individual's androgen status, as it accounts for the testosterone that can readily interact with androgen receptors in tissues.

Normal Bio-Available Testosterone Ranges for Adult Males

Ages 20-30: Approximately 110 to 575 ng/dL

Ages 30-40: Approximately 100 to 500 ng/dL

Ages 40-50: Approximately 90 to 475 ng/dL

Ages 50-60: Approximately 80 to 450 ng/dL

Ages 60-70: Approximately 70 to 425 ng/dL

SHIM Score

Score 1: Very Low.....Score 2: Low.....Score 3: Moderate.....Score 4: High.....Score 5: Very High

SHIM Calculator

The SHIM (Sexual Health Inventory for Men) score provides a quantitative measure to assess the severity of erectile dysfunction (ED).

22-25: No erectile dysfunction: A score in this range suggests that the individual is likely experiencing little to no difficulty with erectile function.

17-21: Mild erectile dysfunction: Individuals with scores in this range may experience occasional difficulties but generally have satisfactory erectile function.

12-16: Mild to moderate erectile dysfunction: This range indicates more noticeable difficulties with erectile function, impacting sexual satisfaction.

8-11: Moderate erectile dysfunction: Individuals in this range may experience significant challenges with erectile function, leading to a notable impact on sexual satisfaction.

5-7: Severe erectile dysfunction: A score in this range suggests severe impairment of erectile function, significantly affecting sexual satisfaction and performance.

Do I have Low Testosterone?

Do I have Low Testosterone?

If you are 40+ years old....You probably do!

Low T

As we age, we become less and less efficient in utilizing our hormones. For men, the most important hormone is Testosterone.

It keeps us "Manly men".

Lets try the "ADAM" test

The Androgen Deficiency in Ageing Males (ADAM) test allows users to gain an insight into whether or not the symptoms they are experiencing may be suggestive of Testosterone Deficiency (TD), and in turn, whether they should visit a doctor to get their testosterone levels checked.

Questionnaire:

  1. Do you have a decrease in libido (sex drive)? Yes / No

  1. Do you have a lack of energy? Yes / No

  1. Do you have a decrease in strength and/or endurance? Yes / No

  1. Have you lost height? Yes / No

  2. Have you noticed a decreased "enjoyment of life"? Yes / No

  3. Are you sad and/or grumpy? Yes / No

  4. Are your erections less strong? Yes / No

  5. Have you noticed a recent deterioration in your ability to play sports? Yes / No

  6. Are you falling asleep after dinner? Yes / No

  7. Has there been a recent deterioration in your work performance? Yes / No

If you answered, YES to 2 or more of the questions above, you may need to have your Testosterone levels checked.


Here is something we hear from patients all the time....

"I have already talked to my doctor and he said everything was fine.

He did checked my blood and said I was within the 'Normal Levels'.

But Why do I feel so BAD?"

Here is the Real Deal when it comes to your (PCP) primary care provider and hormone testing:

1.. Your PCP doesn't deal with Hormones malfunction or efficiency much. What they learned in Med school is to pass it off to the endocrinologist. They deal with hormone malfunction.

2.. The Endocrinologist has a standard they follow. If anything is outside of that standard, something is malfunctioning and then they spring into action.

3.. If your blood labs fall within the standard set by endocrinologists , your PCP will tell you that you are in normal parameters and your hormones are fine.

Here's the RUB....

This standard does not account for Hormone Efficiency, just for Hormone Malfunction.

Hormones are communicators in your body. They tell the Body to "Do This" or "Do That". If the become less and less efficient, it is equivalent to a parent telling their child to clean up his room, but all he hears is the "Charlie Brown Noise" - Wah wah wah wah!

So to truly measure your Hormone levels there are two test kits to be performed:

** Saliva Labs

** Blood Labs

By analyzing how your hormones work together, we can find the true deficiency and prescribe the treatment or therapy to realign the balance.

GET CHECKED!!

Saliva Labs

Saliva labs are taken at home, when you first wake & before you eat.

They will test your main sex-hormone levels including: Testosterone, Estrogens, Progesterone, DHEA, Cortisol levels.

Blood labs (Plasma)

Blood Labs are taken in office by a phlebotomist. That sample is sent to lab for analysis of the following (but are not limited to): PSA, Total Testosterone, Estrogen, Thyroid (T3/T4/TSH), SHBG, LH.
