[2022] EVERLYWELL METABOLISM TEST REVIEW – Our Review Of The Everlywell At-Home Metabolism Test Kit

At-home testing for Cortisol, Free Testosterone, and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone – the three key players in metabolism function and weight loss. All for a low price with an easy-to-use kit.

If you’ve read our article on men’s health blood biomarker and testosterone testing, you’ll know that we’re firm believers that the best way to optimize your performance is with regular biomarker testing.

There’s simply no other way to put it – if you’re not measuring the things that you’re trying to improve then you have no way of knowing whether or not your strategy is actually working.

And there’s a lot more to biohacking measurements than just the number on the scale.

The only downside of comprehensive blood panels is that they can be cost restrictive. Which is why when one of our favorite new testing companies Everlywell released their new at-home metabolism function kit, our ears perked up.

This kit is priced at only $36.75 at the time of this writing and tests for the three major components of healthy metabolism function:

• Cortisol – Cortisol is made in our adrenal glands and is released in our bodies naturally each day. Cortisol affects energy levels by regulating the release of glucose as a main source of our body’s fuel that helps keep us going during the day. It’s also the body’s main stress hormone.
• Free Testosterone – Testosterone is produced by the adrenal cortex, the testes in men, and the ovaries in women. When it is bound to protein in the blood it is called Total Testosterone. Testosterone that is not bound to proteins is called Free Testosterone and is the biologically active form of the hormone.
• Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone – Thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH, is the hormone responsible for controlling thyroid hormone production by the thyroid gland. The hormone TSH is considered the most sensitive marker for screening for thyroid diseases and conditions.

Your tests results will show your personal levels of TSH, Cortisol, Testosterone, and whether they are low, normal, or high.

Abnormalities in any one of these hormones may require further testing for that specific endocrine gland function. By measuring your levels of each, you can understand what you may be experiencing with your body weight and energy.

And like with all of their test kits, your results are generated in a intuitive and readable format which give you actionable insights into each biomarker tested. 

Like with all of Everlywell’s other test kits (you can read our review of their food sensitivity package here) they include an easy-to-use kit that includes everything you need for sample collection.

This particular package requires a finger prick blood sample as well as a saliva sample and they include everything you need for those, along with pre-paid return shipping and packaging.

Once your samples get back to them they work with CLIA certified labs which have to meet high standards to obtain both state and federal certifications and submit themselves to regular inspections.

The tests are physician reviewed and approved by an independent board-certified physician within your state.

And what’s more, Everlywell is HIPAA compliant with secure data practices, using state of the art encryption to ensure your privacy.

Like we said earlier, the only way to really know what’s going on inside your body is to test. Otherwise you’re just guessing and hoping for the best.

And now, thanks to Everlywell’s metabolism kit, we can get an affordable snapshot of the three key factors which could be slowing our metabolism leading to increased weight gain overall.
