Joi Women's Wellness Hormone Test
Joi offers three series of lab tests (blood work) to start their Hormone Replacement Therapy process. Any one of the three options is enough data to get you started on one or more of Joi's HRT and Wellness products.
Complete Hormone - Analyzes 45 Biomarkers ($146)
Hormone + Metabolic + Thyroid - Analyzes 66 Biomarkers ($299)
Comprehensive Panel - Analyzes 77 Biomarkers ($699)
I chose the middle test, Hormone + Metabolic + Thyroid. Once I made my choice, I put the test in my cart and checked out. Be sure to use coupon code BRONSON to get 10% off your labs. Upon receipt of my payment, I received an email less than a day later with my lab orders to take with me to my nearest LabCorp.
I chose the Hormone + Metabolic + Thyroid panel because I was also curious about my A1C and wanted to see if my thyroid levels were in line. My mother had some issues with her thyroid at my age and I wanted to be sure I didn't have the same. Click here to see the full range of what each panel tests for.
When I arrived at the LabCorp, they asked me to forward the email with my orders so they could begin blood draw and send for testing. No appointment is needed for LabCorp but be sure to check your nearest location for lunch hours as well as week-end hours.
After 7-days, I had the results in my in-box and also received a notification from Joi Women's Wellness to use a specific link to schedule my 30-minute 1:1 with a Joi HRT Doctor.

Best Hormone Test
Not every company who offers menopause and perimenopause care and support offers lab testing. Working with a provider that doesn't require testing does make it less expensive and faster to get on a therapy, but if you are like me, I like the data. I want to know that not only am I feeling better, but my levels have improved. The data from the bloodwork validates my feelings and helps me justify whatever therapy or supplements I've chosen to spend my hard-earned money on.
