Why Hormonal
health matters
Hormonal changes can affect how you feel day to day and over time. Depending on the pattern, they may be linked to sleep disturbances, mood changes, weight fluctuations, cycle-related concerns, changes in libido and poor recovery.
Because hormones are chemical messengers that communicate across almost every system in the body, an imbalance in one area can generate effects that appear unrelated. That is why hormonal health is best assessed in context, not in isolation.
Concerns where
Hormonal health
may play a role
Together with Dr Fiona Forbes and the medical team, we use over 400 biomarkers to understand the underlying factors contributing to symptoms.
These concerns are not assessed in isolation, but always in the context of the full biological picture.
How hormonal health
connects to other systems
Hormonal imbalance is not always a standalone issue. It frequently arises from or is worsened by patterns in other systems.
Our approach
At Forbes.health, we take a systems-based approach to hormonal health. We look beyond individual hormone values to understand the broader biological context, and how this system interacts with others.
That means assessing how hormonal health may be connected to stress response, thyroid function, metabolism, inflammation, recovery and the wider symptom pattern.
“Our role is not only to identify what is out of range, but to understand how the body is functioning as a whole, and what may be driving symptoms beneath the surface.”

How we assess
Relevant testing panels
The most relevant tests depend on the individual, their symptoms and their medical history. For hormonal health, the following panels are frequently used:
Measures cortisol patterns throughout the day alongside DHEAS, sex hormones and thyroid markers. Provides a comprehensive picture of hormonal balance, adrenal function and how the body is managing stress. One of the most important panels for hormonal health concerns.
Assesses TSH, Free T4, Free T3 and TPO antibodies alongside sex hormones. Thyroid dysfunction is a frequent driver of hormonal symptoms including fatigue, weight changes and mood disturbance.
Evaluates nutrient cofactors essential for hormone metabolism including B vitamins, zinc and magnesium, as well as neurotransmitter markers. Adds important context where hormonal symptoms overlap with mood, fatigue or cognitive function.
Chronic oxidative stress impairs hormone production and clearance. This panel assesses DNA damage markers and antioxidant capacity, relevant where hormonal dysfunction is accompanied by fatigue, poor recovery or inflammatory patterns.
From insight to direction
Whether navigating persistent symptoms or taking a proactive approach, the goal is always the same: to understand what your body is doing and why.
