Your Hormones Affect Every Aspect Of Your Life

Through all stages of your life as a woman your reproductive hormones make a key contribution to your mood and energy wellness. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and the other reproductive hormones make a huge impact on every aspect of your health, wellness, and well-being.

Not only do the various reproductive hormones have powerful effects and cause changes in your physical body they also wash over your brain cells, affecting you in expected and unexpected ways:

  • Moods
  • Energy
  • Memory
  • Sleep habits
  • Verbal ability
  • Concentration
  • Ability to learn new facts
  • Libido
  • Who you are attracted to
  • And even how you spend your money!

As these reproductive hormones ebb and flow through your brain, they stir up predictable and unpredictable change in your emotions, perceptions, and your fears and yearnings.

Knowing what is happening with your hormones - which ones are entering and leaving your brain, which ones are too heavily represented in your brain and body and which ones are “missing in action” - can have a profound impact on connecting with and understanding your internal rhythms.

As a woman, your hormones exert powerful influences every day of your life. And as you pass through all the different stages of your life the combined affect of your hormones changes.

Does it make any sense to remain in the dark about what is happening to your reproductive hormones?

No, it doesn’t - and you don’t need to - especially when it is now so easy and convenient to understand what is going on with your hormones. With this knowledge you regain control over not only the health of your body – and your brain - but also over your own experience of your life.

Arbitrarily given hormone treatments may ease the symptoms but do not correct the cause of the symptoms and may actually pose other health risks. Taking hormones without analysis and a determination of the true need for specific hormones risks serious side effects.

With salvia hormone testing, guesswork is no longer the basis for your treatment.

Saliva Hormone Testing - Better than a blood test.

Salvia hormone values reflect the tissue concentration of your hormones. Blood and serum contains the total hormone, but your tissues are only bathed with the active or effective fraction as found in your salvia. Active fraction measurements are superior to blood and urine measurements both in diagnosis and treatment.

  • Saliva Tests are affordable and less expensive than blood or urine tests. Blood testing for 6 hormones costs $250 -$300 more than salvia testing.
  • The simple collection procedure spares you the pain of vein punctures with a needle and the hassle and expense of a doctor’s office visit.
  • Results are more clinically reflective of your actual hormone status and needs.
  • Results can be used to guide an individualized and customized treatment plan using safe natural means.
  • You will minimize the risks of over treatment and under treatment  – and incorrect treatment. This will ensure you target for treatment only the hormones in need of balancing.
  • Salvia hormone testing helps you to know for certain where you are in relation to your menstrual cycle and what symptoms are related to hormonal imbalance.
  • Salvia Hormone Panels help determine the risk of disease in your breasts or uterus, and also guides individualized recommendations to minimize that risk.
Why You Should Test

Hormones are powerful substances that control multiple functions throughout the body. Hormone levels should be sufficient and balanced. Too much or too little of them is not conducive to your long-term emotional, mental, and physical health.

By not measuring hormones before and after treatment, your hormone picture is, at best, an educated guess, since hormone levels can vary as much as 200 -1500% from woman to woman. In fact, many women need to adjust only one hormone, while others may require 3 or 4 to be adjusted for optimal balance.

Just as you can not balance your bank account without the numbers on your bank statements – without knowing what is actually there and not just what you think might be there – hormone testing provides both a basis for treatment and a measure of proximity to your treatment goal.

Once you know what your hormone levels actually are you can then:

  • Treat symptoms using synthetic or natural hormones
  • Treat symptoms and the source of those symptoms using lifestyle, dietary, and nutritional supplements – (My preferred option.)
  • Optimize hormone levels for minimum intervention to relieve symptoms.
  • Customize treatment for hormone imbalance using natural remedies
  • Avoid over-treatment, under-treatment, and mistreatment.
  • Achieve appropriate and compatible physiologic levels of several hormones.
  • Increase overall well-being by removing underlying hormone deficits and imbalances.

We can test your female natural hormones throughout your life cycle. One, two, six or eight of them, depending on your needs. We utilize salvia testing for measuring hormones such as Testosterone, DHEA, Progesterone, Estriol, Estrone, and Estradiol. The brain regulating hormones, FSH and LH can also be measured to help assess efficacy of control and feedback between the brain and ovaries.
