What your doctor runs vs. what we run

A normal physical checks for disease. The Full Story checks why you don't feel right.

Standard physical
  • Cholesterol, glucose, CBC, CMP
  • "Normal range" = done
  • No hormone optimization markers
  • No nutrient or inflammation picture
  • A few minutes with a provider
  • "Your labs are normal." No plan.
True Test Full Story
  • Everything a physical checks, plus 50+ hormone and health markers
  • Estradiol, progesterone, total & free testosterone, FSH/LH, DHEA-S, SHBG, prolactin
  • Thyroid: TSH, free T3, free T4
  • Vitamin D, B12, iron, ferritin, folate, magnesium, CRP, A1C
  • A hormone specialist goes through every result with you
  • An Optimization Blueprint based on your numbers
Four steps

How it works

01

Book Your Appointment

Come in for your $49 visit. A specialist listens to your symptoms and goals, then your 50+ marker blood panel is drawn in the same visit — about 25–30 minutes total.

02

Comprehensive Bloodwork

There's no separate lab bill — it's part of your $49, not billed on top of it afterward.

03

Specialist Review

Results typically take 5–7 business days. Once they're in, we'll schedule your Specialist Review appointment, where your specialist walks you through next steps and what they cost before you commit to anything.

04

Get Real Answers

Based on your results, your specialist builds a clear path forward — whether that's hormone optimization, peptide therapy, weight loss, or lifestyle changes. You'll know exactly what's going on and exactly what to do about it.

Real patients, real stories

What our patients say

Real True Test patients, in their own words.

Bettany's storyWhat changed once she saw her numbers.
You've taken care of everyone elseWhy "it's just menopause" isn't an answer.

Individual results vary. These patients are sharing their own experience; nothing here is a guarantee of outcome.

Who this is for

Is the Full Story right for you?

The Full Story is for women who want answers and a plan, not just a cheap lab test.

This is for you if:

  • You want the real "why" behind your energy, weight, sleep, or mood — not "you're fine"
  • You're ready to sit down with a hormone specialist and build an actual plan
  • You want hormones, thyroid, and nutrients checked together, once, properly
  • You'll keep the appointment you book

This might not be for you if:

  • You're only looking for the cheapest blood draw in town
  • You want lab numbers with zero interpretation or next steps
  • You're not able to come back in person for your Blueprint visit
  • You're looking for a prescription without a conversation

Common questions

Answers to common questions

What does the $49 cover?
It covers your consultation, the 50+ marker blood panel drawn in-house, and your Optimization Blueprint from a hormone specialist.
Do I have to commit to treatment?
No. You'll get your results reviewed by a specialist and a clear explanation of where you stand. What you do next is entirely up to you.
If I'm a candidate, what does treatment cost?
Treatment is a month-to-month membership that includes your provider visits, your medication, and unlimited InBody body-composition scans; ongoing lab work is billed separately. Every cost is reviewed with you before you commit — no surprises.
How does the $100 credit work?
Book your Full Story in September and a $100 True Test credit is added to your account. Use it toward any add-on service at our Cape Girardeau clinic — IV vitamin therapy, peptide therapy, medical weight loss, or InBody scans.
Is this for perimenopause and menopause, or only younger women?
Both. Hormone changes start years before periods stop, and the symptoms are often written off as stress or age. The Full Story measures where you actually are — estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and more — so the plan fits you, not a label.
How soon can I get in?
Usually same day or next day. We hold a limited number of Full Story slots each week — pick a time that works and you'll get an instant text and email confirmation.
When do results come back, and do I have to come back in?
Results are usually back in 5–7 business days. Your Blueprint visit is in person at our Cape Girardeau clinic, same as your first visit.
Who will I actually see?
You'll be seen by one of our providers, who specializes in hormone optimization and will walk you through every result at your Blueprint visit.
How is this different from my regular doctor's blood work?
Most physicals (and many OB/GYN visits) run cholesterol, glucose, CBC, and a metabolic panel — designed to flag disease, not to explain how you feel. The Full Story tests 50+ markers across hormones, thyroid, nutrients, inflammation, and general health, and a specialist sits down with you to walk through what's optimal versus merely "normal."
Do you take insurance, HSA, or FSA?
True Test is a direct-pay clinic — no insurance dictating what's covered. We accept HSA and FSA cards, and we can accept insurance for labs.
What if I can't make my appointment?
Call us and we'll rebook you — no penalty. We only hold a limited number of slots each week, so please book a time you can actually keep.
