Hormone Testing

The human body has many different forms of messengers at its disposal, allowing for a transfer of information or the control of different systems. One of the most important of these messengers are hormones, a group of chemical messengers that can influence the activity of your body’s functions. Hormones influence many systems in the body and can influence growth, mood, metabolism and sleep, reproduction, and sexual function.

By taking a saliva-based hormone test, your provider can see what chemical messengers may be out of balance in your body , allowing for more targeted treatment, and ultimately a better you. Issues with sleep, sexual function, weight gain, and many others can find their roots in hormone imbalances and a clear picture of the state of your hormones can aid in your treatment. Hormone testing is also used to help decide on how birth control can best be administered to work in conjunction with your other medications.
