Defy and lab draws

I am considering switching over to Defy from my local Urologist. But I just noticed that there is no LabCorp anywhere near me. So how would I go get all my labs and tests done? Has anyone ran into this before?
 
My insurance covers almost all of my labs, so I just email Defy asking for a script for the labs I want and then I take what they email me back with to my local hospital for the actual blood draw. They are not LabCorp or Quest. So, local place might be another option for you if covered by your insurance.
 
I live in the middle of nowhere in SW Colorado. Nearest Labcorp is 4 hours away. Defy emails me a script for the labs and I take it to the local hospital. BC/BS covers the labs. Hospital emails the results to Defy. Takes about a week to get the results back. I go in and pick up a copy for my records and scan and email them to Defy just to make sure they have everything.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
