Hormone Optimization Standard

Meaning

The Hormone Optimization Standard represents a clinically defined set of target ranges and dynamic secretion patterns for key endocrine molecules that are associated with peak health, vitality, and reduced long-term disease risk, often aligning with levels seen in healthy younger adults. This standard intentionally transcends the broad, population-based “reference ranges” typically used in general pathology labs, which often reflect a range of both healthy and sub-optimal individuals. It serves as the benchmark for precision hormone therapy, aiming for functional excellence rather than merely avoiding deficiency.
