Hormone Test

Test the Levels of Essential Sex Hormones to Check for Imbalances for Hormone Replacement Therapy

overview

The Hormone Test is a simple test for levels of naturally occurring hormones, including: Testosterone, Progesterone, Estrogen, DHEA, and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, as well as Thyroid hormones.

 

Knowing the levels of your hormones and how they relate to each other can open up a wide range of solutions for symptom relief. These include guided nutritional therapies, lifestyle changes, and potentially hormone replacement therapy to keep you in balance.

 

Hormones are simply chemicals produced by glands throughout your endocrine system. These chemicals travel through the bloodstream to your organs and tissues, regulating functions such as metabolism and appetite, weight, heart rate, sleep cycles, reproductive cycles, sexual function, mood and stress levels, body temperature, hair growth, and general growth and development.

 

Symptoms of hormonal imbalances may include low energy and fatigue, PMS, hair loss, low libido, increased anxiety and irritability, mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, temperature intolerances, cognitive difficulties and brain fog, irregular cycles, adult-onset acne, hair loss, weight changes, joint pain, loss of muscle mass, and extreme thirst or hunger.

 

Several different factors can cause the body to produce an insufficient amount of the essential sex hormones: progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone. These hormones, along with other vital hormones such as DHEA, pregnenolone, cortisol, melatonin, and thyroid are all interdependent and a deficiency in one can affect levels of all others.

 

By testing your hormone levels, our physician can then prescribe Hormone Replacement Therapy to address the negative effects of imbalances to help relieve the symptoms you may be experiencing and slow the aging process.

biomarkers
progesterone

Progesterone – sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans and other species.

estrogens

Estrone – minor female sex hormone that serves as a precursor and can be converted into estradiol

Estradiol – the major female sex hormone involved in menstruation cycle as well as the development of physical sexual characteristics.

Estriol – minor female sex hormone synthesized in large amounts during pregnancy and can be used as a marker of fetal health.

androgens

Testosterone – the primary sex hormone for males involved in male reproductive development and the development of physical sexual characteristics in men. Testosterone in both sexes is involved in health and well-being, including moods, behavior, and bone health.

DHEA – an endogenous steroid hormone precursor that functions as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of androgen and estrogen.

BINDING PROTEINS

Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin -a glycoprotein that binds to androgens and estrogens. The bioavailability of sex hormones is influenced by levels of SHBG.
