| Hormone Testing |
 In your clinic we always look at toxins first. Then we look down stream to the others. My favorite is the 24 hour hormone test which consists of the estrogen metabolism test. This to me gives the most information to the practitioner for understanding were toxins are causing the disruption. I like to surround this test with a look at the function of the other important glands. The thyroid, adrenals, and the pituitary are a must to evaluate the entire system.
Estradial (Serum) – Used as a flag for elevated estrogen only. This does not give the ratio of good or bad estrogen. If this test is elevated or patient history of estrogen dominate health issues we recommended the estrogen ratio test from Genova Labs. Note: Someone with low estrogen can still have too much bad estrogen therefore a history must be taken. Progesterone (Serum) – I prefer women to be on the higher side of progesterone. If patient is on the lower side of the range supplementation is usually recommended.
Testosterone Free and Total – This test is performed on most of my male patients because testosterone is very important for male cancers and general feeling of well being. I run this test on some females as well dependent on their medical history and symptoms. IE: woman with acne issues, irregular menstruation cycle. This can indicate PCOS (Poly cystic ovarian syndrome). Optimal range for total male testosterone 800-1200. Free testosterone should be above 10. DHEA – Precursor to testosterone.
Standing Aldosterone – This is a great test to assess adrenal function.
Genova Labs Complete Hormones - This is the most comprehensive urinary hormone metabolism evaluation designed to assist in the prevention and treatment of hormone-related symptoms and conditions. This provides clues about menstrual irregularities, infertility, menopause, fatigue, breast cancer, and osteoporosis. Estrogen Ratio Metabolism Test is included in this profile.
The Adrenal Stress Index™ (ASI™) - Was introduced by Diagnos-Techs in 1989 to evaluate stress, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. It is a simple non-invasive test utilizing four saliva samples collected at specified time periods during the day. Since the human adrenal gland does not secrete its steroid hormones at a constant level throughout the day, the Adrenal Stress Index™ (ASI™) provides the clinician with an comprehensive assessment of adrenal function throughout the daily cycle. The ASI panel consists of ten (10) saliva tests: Cortisol (x4),17-OH Progesterone, DHEA/DHEA-S, Insulin (x2), Gliadin Ab, and Secretory IgA.
