ADRENAL & HORMONE HEALTH
Did you know?
Stress is a hormonal response from the body.
Women appear more prone to stress than men.
Women are more likely to experience more physical signs of stress compared to their male counterparts.
This doesn’t mean that men don’t experience stress.
Instead, men are more likely to try to escape from the stress and not exhibit any signs.
We test your hormones via saliva,
research has found that this is more accurate than blood hormones as they are unbound and bioavailable in the saliva.
Salivary hormone testing allows us to determine hormonal imbalances and the potential impact this can have on physical and emotional health.
An imbalance can result in weight gain, mood swings, night sweats, disturbed sleep patterns, loss of libido and hot flushes.
Results make it possible us to individualise treatment to establish the best hormone balance for you.
How would it change your life to have balanced hormones, moods and metabolism?
Adrenocortex Test
There are two adrenal glands that are each located on top of the kidneys. These glands play an important role in the body’s endocrine (hormonal) system.
Salivary cortisol testing is the most accurate hormone test that evaluates levels of important stress hormones, such as cortisol and DHEA, in the body.
It can help to uncover hormone imbalances that may be linked to anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, obesity, and many other conditions.
Female Saliva Hormone Profile
The main hormones affecting the menstrual cycle and fertility are produced by glands in the brain and by the ovaries.
These hormones regulate menstruation, mood stabilisation, fertility and sex drive (libido), therefore, an imbalance in hormones can produce abnormalities in these various functions. The production of hormones naturally and gradually decrease as a woman ages, leading to menopause.
The Female Hormone Profile provides a valuable assessment of an individual’s hormonal status and the potential impact this may have on physical and emotional health. Salivary assessment of hormones is the most accurate analyses of estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone.
Male Saliva Hormone Profile
From the age of 30, males experience a decrease in testosterone at a rate of 10% per decade. This age-related reduction in testosterone (and other hormones) in males has been named ‘andropause’.
The Male Hormone Profile provides a valuable assessment of a male’s hormonal status helping to identify hormonal imbalances, and the potential impact this may have on physical and emotional health. Results obtained from the test enable us to formulate specific treatment interventions to establish optimal hormone balance.
HORMONES ARE SECRETED BY THE GLANDS OF THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM.
