At-Home Lab Testing: Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about Heyday at-home lab testing — what is tested, how collection works, accuracy, and what your results mean.
Quick answer: The Heyday at-home lab kit tests a comprehensive men's health panel, including testosterone, metabolic, and thyroid markers, using a simple arm-based blood collection device processed by CLIA-certified partner laboratories. Results are typically available in five to seven business days and are reviewed by a licensed clinician. Following result review, a telehealth consultation is scheduled where the provider analyzes the markers and determines appropriate next steps, which may include treatment based on clinical evaluation.

Yes. Heyday uses CLIA-certified partner laboratories that meet the same quality standards as hospital labs. The arm-based collection method produces lab-grade results equivalent to an in-office blood draw.
Always collect in the morning, ideally before 10am, when testosterone levels peak. Fasting is not required for testosterone testing but is recommended for metabolic panel accuracy.
If you have labs from within the past 90 days (or 180 days if already on TRT), you can upload them and skip the kit. Your provider will review your existing results.
The Heyday Kit costs $229 as a standalone purchase. It is included free with the annual TRT plan ($99/month).
A licensed Heyday clinician reviews every lab panel, with physician oversight. They analyze all markers — not just total testosterone — and design a personalized treatment recommendation based on your complete picture.
Your provider schedules a private telehealth consultation to discuss your results, explain what the numbers mean, and recommend next steps — whether that is treatment, lifestyle changes, or further evaluation.
