4. Metabolic health: Hormones like insulin, thyroid hormones, and cortisol play a significant role in metabolism and maintaining a healthy body weight. Hormonal imbalances can lead to metabolic disorders, such as insulin resistance, obesity, and thyroid dysfunction. Hormone screening can help identify and manage these conditions, reducing the risk of complications like heart disease and type 2 diabetes (4).
