Evaluating your hormone profile can help you uncover crucial imbalances linked to aging, PMS, menstrual problems, low sex drive, fatique, mood swings and some serious diseases. There are the hormones which are active and bioavailable to the body's cells and tissues when needed. The saliva assay method profiles a proprietry extraction process that cleans the saliva of all the toxins and impurities first. Most routine blood tests for hormones, in contrast, measure the amount of hormones in the blood stream. Saliva testing offers an added advantage as the samples can be taken at the optimum times of the day thus giving a precisely controlled result.
Balanced hormones are necessary for optimal health in both males and females.
Medical studies show that poor libido, loss of hair, hormonal-related acne, some types of cancer, osteoporosis, PMS, and many menopausal problems, correlate to hormonal imbalance. Many medical researchers, report remarkable success in preventing or treating many hormone-related symptoms with natural hormone suppliementation applied as a cream. The reason, according to Dr. John Lee, is there is an over-abundance of estrogen and estrogenic substances in the food we eat and in our modern environment. Your body needs natural progesterone to counter-balance the toxic effects of estrogen dominance. While everyone's needs are different, Dr. Lee recommends about 20mg, or one-quarter teaspoon, of natural progesterone once a day.
