Your hormones are essential regulators of your health, as they act as chemical messengers in your body and control numerous bodily functions. They influence your metabolism, your immune system, your fertility and even your mood. An imbalance of these finely tuned substances can have a huge impact on your well-being and lead to a variety of health problems.

Symptoms such as fatigue, unexplained weight gain, sleep disturbances, decreased libido and mood swings can be signs of hormonal imbalance. Measuring your hormone status is therefore more than just a simple health check; it is a window into your body’s complex biochemistry.

A comprehensive look at your hormone status can help uncover hidden triggers for the above disorders that other tests may miss. Furthermore, an endocrinology consultation offers you the opportunity to create a personalized plan to optimize your health routine.

The “Hormone Center at the Opera” comes as good as to your home. Regardless of where you live, thanks to modern technology you can take a hormone test and receive advice from renowned endocrinologists without having to schedule a physical visit.

The hormone test in collaboration with the Hormone Center at the Opera in Munich is a precise tool that provides a detailed analysis of your hormone status. Rather than focusing on just one or two hormones, the test measures a wide range to provide a more complete picture of your hormonal health. From sex hormones to metabolic hormones such as insulin and thyroid hormones, the hormone test allows you to understand the subtle interactions and balance between these crucial molecules in your body.

It makes little sense to derive treatment consequences from individual hormone values alone. This is why the neotes hormone test provides a sound basis for possible treatment approaches by comprehensively analyzing various hormones. Beyond the figures and data, the hormone test also offers you something priceless: certainty and clarity. Take control and take proactive steps to improve your health instead of just reacting to symptoms.

Knowing your hormone status alone is not enough. It is equally important to understand the results and know how to take appropriate action. That’s why we have teamed up with the endocrinologists at the renowned Hormone Center at the Opera in Munich, so that you not only receive personalized advice, but also have the opportunity to fully understand your test results. The specialists will help you classify your specific hormone levels and make appropriate recommendations to optimize your health.

These recommendations may include changes in your diet, adjustments to your lifestyle or, in some cases, even the prescription of hormones. In all cases, the goal is to restore hormonal balance when needed, improving health and well-being. It’s all about providing data, but also practical, actionable solutions that can make a real difference in your life.

Our hormones not only influence our physical and mental well-being, but also play a decisive role in our ageing process. As we get older, our hormone profile changes due to the natural biological ageing process. Some of the hormones that decline over time include oestrogen and progesterone in women – which ultimately leads to menopause – and testosterone in men, which can lead to symptoms of andropause or ‘male menopause’.

The production of many hormones begins to decline in women from around the age of 25. This is a natural process, but it can also be influenced by external factors such as stress, an unhealthy diet, lack of sleep or medication. One example is excessive hair loss in women. Hair loss can be caused by dysthyroidism, absolute or relative estrogen deficiency, hyperandrogenemia (including an increase in DHT) or iron or micronutrient deficiency. The effects of hormone deficiency are individual and can vary from person to person. However, it is known that certain diseases or health problems can affect hormone production.

A lack of certain hormones, particularly the sex hormones oestrogen and testosterone, can lead to various health problems. These include osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and a decrease in muscle mass. In addition, hormones can also have a direct impact on skin ageing as they affect the production of collagen, a protein that keeps the skin firm and elastic. Given the diverse role that hormones play in our bodies, it is clear that understanding these complex messengers and their impact on our ageing process can help us make controlled decisions about our health and wellbeing.

It doesn’t help to just assume. Only consistent and comprehensive testing will bring comprehensive results.

The technology behind our hormone tests is a combination of state-of-the-art analysis devices and advanced machine learning models. We work hand in hand with one of the leading hormone laboratories in Munich, which is under the direction of recognized endocrinologists at the Hormone Center at the Opera in Munich.

Hormone levels are usually determined using a method called immunoassay. This method uses antibodies and chemicals to measure hormone levels in the blood.

For the analysis of hormone levels, we use the world’s leading analysis system for hormone analysis from Roche, the Roche Cobas system. This system can analyze up to 900 different test preparations per hour.

About two weeks after we receive your blood sample, you will receive your results in the form of a protected hormone report. Before that, a lot happens behind the scenes.

Week 1: Hormone extraction

After receiving your blood sample, we begin with the hormone extraction. During this process, we separate the serum – the liquid part of the blood – from the solid components, the blood cells, by centrifugation. This step ensures ideal conditions for the subsequent hormone tests.

Week 1-2: Hormone analysis using sandwich ELISA

We carry out a detailed hormone analysis with the serum obtained. We use the highly sensitive and specific sandwich ELISA method (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). This is a method in which two antibodies surround the hormone to be measured, which enables us to quantify even the smallest amounts of a hormone. This means that we can determine the exact amount of each specific hormone in your sample.

Week 2: Comparison with standard values

In the second week, your individual hormone values are compared with the standard values. These normal values are based on gender and age and come from an extensive database of healthy control subjects. If we find deviations from these normal values, this does not necessarily mean that something is wrong. It is merely an indication that further examinations or discussions may be necessary.

Week 2+: Results announcement

After about two weeks of thorough analysis, you will receive your personal hormone report. This report contains detailed information about your individual hormone levels and provides valuable insight into your hormone status. We understand that this information can be overwhelming. That’s why we offer you an endocrinology consultation where you have the opportunity to discuss your results and clarify any questions you may have. If necessary, appropriate hormone therapies or treatments can then be decided upon.
