Stanford-trained physician opens CLIA-certified lab delivering testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid results in 48 hours without doctor appointments

As millions of Americans track sleep and heart rate variability through wearable devices, ProDx Health is addressing the question those devices can't answer: what's actually causing the data to change.

The Menlo Park-based diagnostic laboratory today announced its hormone testing service is now available nationwide, delivering testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid results in 48 hours – a significant improvement over the 7-10 day turnaround typical of traditional laboratories – and requires no doctor's appointment or insurance authorization.

Founded by Dr. Andreas Kogelnik, who completed his medical residency and fellowship at Stanford University Medical Center, ProDx Health bridges the gap between consumer health tracking and clinical biomarker testing. The service targets adults in their 30s and 40s who notice declining metrics on their wearables but lack access to timely hormone analysis.

"Wearable technology has created unprecedented patient awareness of and interest in health patterns – sleep quality, recovery rates, heart rate variability – but these devices can often only identify that something may be wrong, not what's causing it," said Dr. Kogelnik, who earned his MD from Emory University and PhD in Bioengineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. "We built ProDx to make clinical hormone testing as accessible and fast as the consumer devices people already use."

The company's testing service measures testosterone, cortisol (the body's primary stress hormone), thyroid function, and other biomarkers that affect energy levels, mood, sleep quality, and physical recovery. Customers order testing kits online at www.prodxhealth.com, collect samples at home, ship them via UPS, and receive results through a HIPAA-compliant web application within 1-2 days.

All laboratory analysis is performed in-house at ProDx's CLIA-certified facility in Menlo Park rather than being outsourced to third-party laboratories, enabling faster turnaround while maintaining certification standards.

Results include plain-language explanations of each biomarker. California residents can schedule telehealth video consultations with licensed medical providers to discuss findings and potential next steps. Customers in other states receive resources and guidance for reviewing results with their personal physicians.

The service addresses a growing segment of health-conscious consumers who seek proactive biomarker testing rather than waiting for clinical symptoms to emerge. Industry research projects the global wellness and biohacking market will reach $69.09 billion by 2030, according to a 2024 report by Grand View Research, driven largely by consumers in their 30s and 40s who view health optimization as an active practice rather than reactive treatment.

"During my time at Stanford and in clinical practice, I repeatedly saw patients arrive with detailed wearable data and more – months of sleep scores, activity logs, stress measurements – but patients couldn't access basic hormone testing without multiple appointments and weeks of waiting," added Dr. Kogelnik. "Traditional healthcare wasn't built for people who want to explore, understand and optimize their health proactively. ProDx is."

The company initially launched discreet sexual health testing services earlier this year and has now expanded into hormone health based on customer demand for comprehensive biomarker analysis.
