Testing / Complete Hormone Panel

For Dihexa · BDNF · Neural Repair

BDNF can be prescribed. First, measure what's blocking it.

Dihexa is a hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) mimetic that potentiates BDNF activity — stimulating synaptogenesis and neural repair at concentrations orders of magnitude more potent than BDNF itself. This panel identifies the hormonal and inflammatory pattern that determines whether Dihexa is the right intervention.

Why it matters

Three reasons this panel changes the conversation.

01

Dihexa potentiates BDNF — but BDNF is downstream of testosterone

BDNF transcription requires androgen signalling. A patient with low free testosterone and elevated hs-CRP has two simultaneous barriers to neural repair — and this panel identifies both. Your physician uses the result to sequence the protocol correctly.

02

Thyroid must be the first differential ruled out

Hypothyroidism suppresses BDNF at the transcriptional level — producing cognitive symptoms that are indistinguishable from HGF/Met pathway dysfunction. TSH elimination is required before Dihexa is the indicated intervention.

03

The retest at 90 days documents synaptogenesis progress

hs-CRP and testosterone both shift over a 12-week Dihexa protocol. Without the baseline from this panel, the cognitive improvement is self-reported only. With it, the biological response is captured and the dosing is evidence-based.

What's Included

Complete Hormone Panel — $249

hs-CRPSystemic inflammation that blocks BDNF signalling — Dihexa's primary target mechanism
Total TestosteroneTestosterone drives BDNF expression — low T means impaired neural repair capacity
Free Testosterone (calc)Bioavailable T — the fraction that crosses the blood-brain barrier
SHBGHigh SHBG with low free T is the most common pattern in cognitive-complaint patients
EstradiolNeuroprotective — low E2 in both sexes accelerates synaptic pruning and memory decline
FSH / LHHPG axis — tells your physician whether testosterone is low upstream or downstream
hs-TSHThyroid — hypothyroidism is the most common reversible cause of BDNF suppression
AlbuminNutritional status — malnutrition blunts BDNF response regardless of peptide dose
LDL / HDL / TriglyceridesCardiovascular baseline — cerebrovascular risk context for any neural protocol
PSAProstate safety screen — standard for any male hormone-adjacent protocol

Common questions

Everything you should know before ordering.

When will Dihexa be available to prescribe?

Dihexa acetate is in the FDA formal review pipeline with review expected around February 2027. Testing now establishes your neural and hormonal baseline — prescription can be written when the review concludes.

How is Dihexa different from Semax for cognitive support?

Semax acts primarily on BDNF production via cortisol/ACTH modulation and dopaminergic signalling — indicated when cortisol dysregulation is the driver. Dihexa acts as an HGF mimetic, potentiating BDNF activity directly at the synapse — indicated when BDNF impairment is structural rather than hormonal. The two are often co-prescribed, addressing complementary mechanisms.

Is this panel HSA/FSA eligible?

Yes. Physician-ordered diagnostic testing is HSA and FSA eligible. At a 32% bracket, effective cost is approximately $170.
