Hormone Imbalances 

Hormone imbalances can contribute to several conditions including menstrual problems, mental wellbeing, weight gain, menopausal symptoms, insomnia, stress, headaches, low libido and more. Your symptoms are often enough for Angela to get a sense of your hormonal balance, however in some cases Angela may order particular hormone tests to elicit more information. In some cases blood tests may suffice, however saliva tests will give a more accurate indication of bioavailable hormone:

• Female Hormone Saliva Screen (Includes progesterone, oestradiol, testosterone, DHEA).
• Male Hormone Saliva Screen (Includes testosterone, oestradiol, DHEA).
• Adrenocortex Stress Profile – cortisol & DHEA (3 saliva samples, 8am, 4pm, 8pm)
• Sleep Hormone Cycle Saliva Screen – cortisol & melatonin (2 saliva samples, midnight, 2am)
