ARE YOUR SYMPTOMS HORMONAL?

Fatigue. Brain fog. Weight gain. Mood changes. Sleep problems. These get blamed on stress, aging, or "just how life is now." They don't have to be.

Take the Free Quiz

2 minutes. No account required.

The quiz evaluates 8 categories:

  • 1. Energy & Fatigue
  • 2. Mental Clarity
  • 3. Mood
  • 4. Sleep
  • 5. Body Composition
  • 6. Sexual Health
  • 7. Physical Symptoms
  • 8. Recovery / Temperature

WHY HORMONE SYMPTOMS TRAVEL TOGETHER

Hormonal decline doesn't cause one symptom. It causes patterns. Understanding your pattern is the first step toward fixing it.

Men: Testosterone Decline

Testosterone affects energy, cognition, mood, sleep, muscle, fat storage, and sexual function. When it declines — starting around age 30 at roughly 1% per year — multiple systems are affected simultaneously. That's why "tired, foggy, gaining weight, low drive" isn't four problems. It's one.

Common patterns: fatigue + recovery, brain fog + mood, body changes + physical symptoms.

Women: Estrogen, Progesterone & Testosterone

Women's hormone decline involves multiple hormones shifting at different rates. Progesterone often drops first (disrupting sleep and mood), followed by estrogen (hot flashes, brain fog, vaginal/bladder changes), and testosterone (energy, libido, muscle loss). The combination creates overlapping symptoms that get dismissed as "stress" or "aging."

Common patterns: sleep + mood, hot flashes, body + sexual + bladder changes.

HOW THE QUIZ WORKS

1

Select Your Gender & Age

Men and women get different question sets because the hormones and symptoms are different. Your age range helps personalize the results.

2

Rate 24 Symptoms Across 8 Categories

For each symptom, you rate severity: Not Me, Mild, Moderate, or Severe. The quiz covers energy, mental clarity, mood, sleep, body composition, sexual health, physical symptoms, and recovery (men) or temperature/bladder (women).

3

Get Your Hormone Health Score

You'll see your total score (Low, Moderate, Elevated, or High), a category-by-category breakdown showing where your symptoms are concentrated, and your top areas of concern with explanations of the hormonal connection.

4

See Your Full Results Breakdown

Based on your top-scoring category, you're matched to one of 10 symptom archetype pages with detailed information: what the pattern means, the hormonal science, what labs to get, and treatment options. These are shareable — send to your partner, your doctor, or save for reference.

COMMON QUESTIONS

How do I know if my symptoms are hormonal?

Hormonal symptoms tend to cluster in recognizable patterns: fatigue paired with brain fog, sleep problems with mood changes, weight gain with muscle loss. Our free quiz evaluates 8 symptom categories and identifies which pattern matches you. It's not a diagnosis — but it tells you whether blood work is worth pursuing.

Is the quiz a medical diagnosis?

No. The quiz is an educational screening tool that helps identify symptom patterns consistent with hormonal imbalance. Blood work is the only way to confirm hormone levels and determine whether treatment is appropriate. The quiz helps you decide whether testing is a reasonable next step.

What hormone tests should I get if my quiz score is high?

For men: total and free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, LH, FSH, full thyroid panel, cortisol, CBC, metabolic panel, vitamin D, and B12. For women: estradiol, progesterone, total and free testosterone, DHEA-S, FSH, LH, full thyroid panel, and metabolic markers. Our comprehensive panels include all of these — 60+ biomarkers total.

Do you treat both men and women?

Yes. We offer testosterone optimization for men and bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) for women. The quiz provides gender-specific question sets and results because the hormones and symptoms are different.

How much does hormone testing cost at Moonshot?

A comprehensive 60+ biomarker blood panel is $285. DEXA body composition + blood panel bundle is $405. Hormone optimization programs start at $235/month for men. No hidden fees, no contracts, no referral needed. Many patients use HSA/FSA funds.
