Hormone Panels

Naturopathic Physicians can help with the balancing of all hormone systems in the body (pineal, pituitary, thyroid (hypo and hyper), adrenals etc. Salivary hormone testing is an easy, effective, non-invasive and scientifically proven way of measuring hormones. Hormones have to pass through the salivary gland before getting into the saliva so saliva testing measures bioavailable hormones that actually entered tissue, as opposed to total hormone levels. therefore, saliva provides a more accurate reflection of the hormones which are actively being utilized by the body. 

The female hormone panel is a comprehensive salivary assessment of estradiol, progesterone and testosterone over a 28 day period revealing ovulatory function and trends in hormone production. Imbalances revealed in this profile help identify the cause of disorders such as premenstrual syndrome, infertility and menstrual irregularities. This test is indicated for both pre and peri-menopausal women.

The male hormone panel is a comprehensive salivary assessment of the daily circadian activity of bioavailable/unbound testosterone. This testing method is used in a wide range of disorders from decreased libido and muscle mass to depression, fatigue, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.
