How to prepare for this test

To ensure accurate results:

• Take your sample between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM

• Test within 2 hours of waking if you're measuring cortisol

• Avoid vigorous exercise and sexual activity for 48 hours prior

• Avoid heavy meals and nipple stimulation (to reduce prolactin/cortisol spikes)

• If menstruating: test between day 2–5 of your cycle (ideally on day 3)

• If not menstruating: test at any time

• Avoid fatty foods for 8 hours before testing (fasting not required)

• Stay well hydrated

• Avoid supplements (iron, B12, vitamins) for at least 24–48 hours before testing

• Do not take biotin supplements 2 days prior (unless prescribed)

• Hormonal contraception may affect results — consider pausing for more accurate readings

• Continue thyroxine as usual; take liothyronine or DTE after your blood draw

• Let us know if you take amiodarone or lithium, as these may affect thyroid results
