Hormone Panel

Why a saliva test?

Saliva hormone testing is useful for:

• Measuring effectiveness of hormone products you are using.

• Determining if you need to begin a hormone product.

• Determining if the body is maintaining its balance.

Test don’t guess. Both hormonal deficiency and hormone excess will often share the same symptoms. For example, low progesterone production is commonly associated with heavy periods however, producing too much progesterone can also create heavier periods or breakthrough bleeding. For this reason it is crucial to let lab testing be your guide in deciding what remedy is right for you.
A simple at home saliva test is one of the best lab option available. Saliva is preferred because it looks at the free-fraction or active hormone in your body. Knowing your free-fraction hormone levels will help you understand how your body is utilizing hormone and the best way to supplement yourself and get you on the path to feeling your best.

Option #1: 6x Collection Panel

Circadian Profile

Cortisol: 8AM, Noon, 4PM, 8PM, 12AM, 4AM

DHEA: 8AM, 12AM

Estradiol, Testosterone, Progesterone: 8AM 

Circadian means recurring. From wake to sleep your body produces many different hormones in a recurring rhythmic cycle. Adrenal hormones and sex hormones peak highest in the morning and typically drop to their lowest in the evening. Your 2 main adrenal hormones are Cortisol & DHEA-S. Your 3 main sex hormones are Estradiol, Progesterone and Testosterone. This family of steroid hormones supports a wide range of essential physiological functions including blood lipid balance, bone mineral density, fertility, sexuality, normal thyroid function, a general sense of well being, and certain aspects of normal brain function. A special relationship exists between your stress hormones and sex hormones. As your body responds to stressful events the demand to
produce more Cortisol & DHEA increases. Overtime your body can start to take from your sex hormones to make more adrenal hormones as a means of stress coping. However, this often results in a variety of unwanted and problematic symptoms such as:

• Chronic stress and related health problems.

• Lack of vitality and energy.

• Muscle and joint pain.

• Migraine headaches.

• Osteoporosis.

• Sleep disturbances.

• Poor memory.

• Alcohol intolerance.

• Stress maladaptation.

• Low sex drive.

• Low body temperature.

People with chronic health challenges or a complex medical history will sometimes have interruptions in their circadian hormonal rhythms due to underlying factors such as infection, blood sugar control, adrenal fatigue etc. We love this test because it includes additional circadian collections to focus on understanding your personal adrenal response patterns. Cortisol & DHEA-S are evaluated over a 24 hour period so that your unique response patterns can be identified. Our expert lab staff will evaluate your test results and formulate a unique and natural product made specifically for you.

OPTION #2:  1x Collection Panel Hormone Evaluation Profile

The Hormone Evaluation Spot test is a great option for those just starting out on their journey to hormone balance and want a general overview of stress and sex hormone status. This test is extremely easy to collect and will give you all the information you need to have your custom formulated product crafted. We love this option because it is a great price point and user friendly. With just a single 8AM saliva collection you will be able to determine adrenal response status and sex hormone balance.

Should I Retest?

Timely retesting is the key to lasting success. Many times people feel improvement right away, however as your body makes changes the unique blend of ingredients and dosages in your body will also need to change. What you need today will most likely not be the same as what you will need in 6 months. Retesting helps us stay in tune with the progress you are making and adjust your custom product accordingly. Please see our guidelines on retesting every 6 months to stay current with your needs.

What is a Custom Crème?

We utilize liposomal technology to create a transdermal crème, able to cross through the many layers of the skin with an absorption rate second to an injection. Our custom formulas are made to order specifically for you. When we say custom we mean custom! We do not choose from a selection of pre-existing blends and pick the one that best suits you. No, we take your health more seriously than that. Our Custom Cremes are formulated after a careful review of your lab results and health history. The ingredients are chosen from a large repertoire of liposomal crème concentrates which are then carefully blending to ensure dose by dose accuracy with every application of the product. Our ingredients consist of USP grade natural hormones such as progesterone, phytoestrogen, pregnenolone, DHEA and DHEA-S. We also use herbs, minerals, vitamins, anti-oxidants, amino acids and nootropics in our formulas. Stress balance brings sex hormone balance. Our formulations will always include a form of adrenal stress support, by doing so we are able to achieve better results using lower doses of progesterone and phytoestrogen. This is because the core stress issue is getting addressed.

Crème application instructions

Think thin skin. Transdermal cremes need to get absorbed into the blood stream. Rub into areas of thin soft skin such as:

• Inner arms/ wrists

• Back of hands

• Bottom and top of feet

• Behind the knees

Once rubbed in the crème can stay on the skin, or you can wash it off after 15 minutes if desired.
