What is the Female Wellness Panel and What Does It Actually Show?
The Short Answer
The Female Wellness Panel is a comprehensive bloodwork panel designed to give a broader look at your hormones, metabolism, nutrient status, inflammation, thyroid function, blood sugar regulation, and energy-related markers.
Instead of looking at one symptom in isolation, this panel helps connect the dots between how you feel and what may be happening under the surface.
At SeshDx, the Female Wellness Panel is often recommended for women dealing with fatigue, irregular cycles, mood swings, weight changes, skin issues, low energy, poor recovery, or symptoms that feel hormone-related but have not been fully explained by standard labs.

Why Standard Lab Testing Falls Short
Most women have been there.
You know something feels off. You are exhausted, moody, inflamed, breaking out, gaining weight unexpectedly, losing your period, struggling with heavy cycles, or feeling like your energy has completely changed.
So you ask for labs.
Maybe you get a basic blood panel. Maybe your thyroid is checked. Maybe a few hormones are tested. Then you hear: “Everything looks normal.”
But normal does not always mean optimal.
Standard lab testing often looks for obvious disease patterns. That can be important, but it may not explain why you feel depleted, inflamed, hormonally off, or stuck in a body that suddenly feels unfamiliar.
The Female Wellness Panel is meant to look more broadly. It gives insight into several systems that influence how women feel day to day: hormones, thyroid function, blood sugar, nutrients, inflammation, and iron status.
Because symptoms rarely come from one marker alone.
Fatigue may involve thyroid, iron, blood sugar, stress, inflammation, or nutrient status. Irregular cycles may involve sex hormones, metabolic health, thyroid function, or under-fueling. Weight changes may be connected to insulin, inflammation, thyroid patterns, or recovery stress.
The value is not just in the individual numbers. It is in seeing the full pattern.
What the Female Wellness Panel Measures
The Female Wellness Panel organizes its findings into several major categories.
1. Sex Hormones
Sex hormones play a major role in your cycle, mood, energy, skin, libido, sleep, and overall sense of stability.
This portion of the panel looks at hormone balance, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
These markers may help provide context for symptoms like:
Irregular cycles
Heavy or painful periods
PMS
Mood swings
Low libido
Acne or oily skin
Hair thinning
Perimenopause symptoms
Feeling different at specific points in your cycle
Hormones are not meant to be interpreted in isolation. A number can be “in range” and still not explain the whole picture.
That is why Shae reviews hormone markers alongside symptoms, cycle history, training, stress, nutrition, sleep, and other lab findings.
2. Thyroid Function
Your thyroid helps regulate metabolism, body temperature, energy, mood, digestion, and menstrual cycle function.
When thyroid function is not well supported, symptoms can show up in ways that are easy to dismiss or blame on stress.
Thyroid-related patterns may contribute to:
Fatigue
Cold hands and feet
Constipation
Weight changes
Hair shedding
Low mood
Heavy periods
Brain fog
Low motivation
Poor workout recovery
Many women have had their thyroid “checked” before but were only given a limited view. The Female Wellness Panel is designed to include key thyroid markers that give more context around metabolism, mood, and energy.
3. Blood Sugar and Insulin
Blood sugar regulation affects much more than cravings.
It can influence energy, mood, sleep, hormones, inflammation, body composition, and how well you recover from workouts.
This part of the panel looks at how your body is managing glucose and insulin.
Blood sugar and insulin patterns may help explain symptoms like:
Energy crashes
Intense cravings
Feeling shaky between meals
Brain fog
Weight changes
Trouble losing fat despite effort
Afternoon fatigue
Waking in the night
PCOS-like symptoms
Hormonal acne or irregular cycles
When blood sugar is unstable, the body often feels like it is constantly playing catch-up. That can place more stress on your hormones, nervous system, and metabolism over time.
4. Nutrient Status
Nutrients are the raw materials your body uses to make hormones, produce energy, support thyroid function, build muscle, recover from stress, and regulate inflammation.
Low or suboptimal nutrient status may contribute to symptoms like:
Fatigue
Poor recovery
Low mood
Brain fog
Hair shedding
Weak nails
Cravings
Low resilience to stress
Hormone symptoms that do not improve with lifestyle changes alone
This is one reason “just eat healthier” is not always specific enough.
If key vitamins or minerals are low, your body may not have what it needs to function well, even if you are trying to do everything right.
5. Inflammation Markers
Inflammation is part of the body’s normal immune response. But when inflammation is elevated or ongoing, it can affect hormones, metabolism, recovery, energy, and overall health.
Inflammation patterns may be connected to:
Chronic fatigue
Joint or muscle aches
Poor recovery
Skin issues
Brain fog
Hormone disruption
Weight changes
Feeling puffy, heavy, or run down
Inflammation markers do not always tell you the exact cause. But they can show whether your body is carrying more internal stress than expected.
That matters when building a protocol.
6. Iron and Energy Markers
Iron status plays a major role in energy, oxygen transport, exercise tolerance, menstrual health, and overall performance.
This is especially important for women who have heavy periods, eat little red meat, train intensely, feel constantly tired, or struggle with dizziness, weakness, shortness of breath during workouts, or low stamina.
Iron-related patterns may help explain:
Fatigue
Low endurance
Feeling weak during workouts
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Hair shedding
Restless legs
Brain fog
Poor recovery
Feeling cold often
Iron is also a good example of why context matters. More is not always better. Low, high, or poorly regulated iron patterns can all matter, which is why results should be reviewed carefully.
What the Female Wellness Panel Can Help Explain
The Female Wellness Panel can be useful for investigating a wide range of symptoms, including:
Persistent fatigue
Irregular cycles
Heavy or painful periods
PMS or mood changes before your period
Acne or skin changes
Hair thinning or shedding
Weight changes
Low libido
Brain fog
Poor workout recovery
Cravings or energy crashes
Sleep disruption
Feeling cold often
Perimenopause symptoms
Hormone-related symptoms that have not been explained by basic labs
Feeling “off” even though you have been told everything looks normal
“Women are often told their labs are fine because nothing is clinically alarming. But that does not mean the pattern is optimal. The Female Wellness Panel helps us look at the foundations: hormones, thyroid, blood sugar, nutrients, inflammation, and iron. Once we see the full picture, we can stop guessing and build a more specific plan.” — Shae Davis, FDN-P, CPT, SeshDx
How the Female Wellness Panel Is Done
The Female Wellness Panel is completed through a local lab after purchase.
After your lab work is completed, your results are reviewed alongside your health history, symptoms, cycle patterns, goals, and lifestyle factors.
At SeshDx, you are not just handed a lab report and left to interpret it alone. Your panel includes a detailed video breakdown so you can understand what your labs mean, why they matter, and what to do next.
From there, Shae creates a one-time protocol that may include nutrition strategies, targeted supplementation, lifestyle changes, sleep and stress support, cycle-supportive recommendations, and a clear roadmap for improving hormone balance, energy, and long-term health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Female Wellness Panel the same as the DUTCH test?
No.
The Female Wellness Panel is a bloodwork panel that looks at foundational health markers, including hormones, thyroid function, blood sugar, insulin, nutrients, inflammation, and iron-related markers.
The DUTCH test is a dried urine hormone test that goes deeper into hormone metabolites, cortisol rhythm, cortisol metabolism, and estrogen detoxification pathways.
They answer different questions.
The Female Wellness Panel is often a stronger starting point when you want a broader view of foundational health. The DUTCH may be a better fit when the main question is hormone metabolism, cortisol rhythm, or deeper hormone patterning.
Can the Female Wellness Panel diagnose a condition?
No. The Female Wellness Panel is not meant to diagnose conditions by itself.
It can provide helpful information about patterns that may be contributing to symptoms, but diagnosis should always involve a licensed healthcare provider, appropriate clinical evaluation, and any necessary follow-up testing.
Do I need to fast before the test?
You may need to fast depending on the specific lab instructions, especially because blood sugar and insulin are part of the panel.
Follow the instructions provided with your lab order. If fasting is required, you will want to collect the sample exactly as directed so your results are as accurate and useful as possible.
Is this panel helpful if my doctor already ran labs?
Often, yes.
Many women have had basic labs done, but they may not have received a complete view of hormones, thyroid, insulin, nutrients, inflammation, and iron status together.
The Female Wellness Panel is designed to look at the bigger picture and connect the results back to your actual symptoms.
What happens after I get my results?
Your results are reviewed by Shae in the context of your health history, symptoms, cycle, lifestyle, and goals.
You receive a detailed video breakdown and a one-time protocol with clear next steps. The goal is to help you understand what your labs mean and how to support your body with a plan that is specific to you.
The Bottom Line
The Female Wellness Panel is a foundational bloodwork panel that gives a broader look at the systems that influence women’s health: hormones, thyroid function, blood sugar and insulin, nutrient status, inflammation, and iron-related energy markers.
It is not a replacement for medical care, and it is not meant to diagnose conditions by itself.
But for women who feel tired, inflamed, hormonally off, stuck, or dismissed after being told everything looks normal, this panel can be an important first step.
At SeshDx, the Female Wellness Panel is used to connect the dots between your symptoms and your lab patterns so you can move forward with a clear, personalized plan.
