Myths vs facts: Hormoncheck Männer and Allergie

Myth: A men's hormone check (e.g., MyBody-X Hormon & VitalCheck) can reliably diagnose low testosterone. Fact: It measures total testosterone only, not free testosterone. Low energy has many causes (sleep, stress, diet, thyroid). A single lab value is not diagnostic – clinical evaluation by a doctor is required. Myth: IgG blood tests for foods can detect allergies or intolerances. Fact: IgG tests are not scientifically validated for diagnosing food allergies or intolerances; they merely indicate immune exposure, not adverse reactions. Microbiome tests also lack evidence for personalized dietary recommendations. Direct-to-consumer tests in this area have weak evidence. Caution: Marketing claims often overstate utility. For real symptoms, consult a physician.
