Advanced Female/Male Hormone Testing
These may include SALIVA, URINE and BLOOD testing to assess ADRENAL, THYROID and SEX HORMONES for cycling females, perimenopausal and menopausal females, as well as males.
Why test?
Hormones are essential chemical messenger which regulate routine processes in the body.
These Advanced tests measure levels of important REPRODUCTIVE and METABOLIC hormones in the body that relate to ENERGY, WEIGHT, WATER RETENTION, MUSCLE LOSS OR GAIN, SLEEP, MOOD and COGNITIVE FUNCTION.
The primary benefit of SALIVARY TESTING is that these hormones are UNCONJUGATED and/or BIOAVAILABLE rather than the total, or protein bound hormones typically measured in the serum.
This test is helpful in the evaluation of sex steroid imbalance such as deficiency or excess of estrogen, progesterone or testosterone.
It also helps to assess ADRENAL FUNCTION and conditions relating to imbalances of CORTISOL. Adrenal function testing can also offer insight into NEUROTRANSMITTER LEVELS and MOOD DISORDERS.
