Hair Analysis

Hair mineral analysis offers you a clear understanding of your body's mineral and trace element levels. It can usually identify inorganic toxic materials that may be present so that appropriate treatments can be begun to eliminate them naturally from your body.

Adrenal Stress Index

The Adrenal Stress Index (ASI) test enables a detailed assessment of the adrenal hormone cycles by measuring both saliva cortisol and DHEA levels and their ratios throughout the day. The ASI test is a simple, non-invasive test that uses four saliva samples to measure the adrenal rhythm and obtain a DHEA to cortisol correlation.

Short Thyroid Panel

The thyroid gland is a very important gland located in the front of the neck. It secretes several life sustaining hormones directly into the circulation. The activity of this gland in normal individuals is controlled by the pituitary gland in the brain. The thyroid hormones control energy production in the powerhouse (mitochondria) of our body cells. These hormones contain iodine and include the two pivotal and metabolically active hormones called Thyroxine, T4 and Triiodothyronine, T3. In the gland, the amino acid Tyrosine is modified with 4 iodines to give T4 and three iodines to yield T3. The gland secretes 10-20 times more T4 than T3. All (100%) of T4 comes from the thyroid gland. However, T3 is derived 20-30% from the gland and about 70-80% from converting T4‘T3 in various tissues, mostly the liver and kidneys. Weight for weight, T3 is 4-5 times more potent than T4.

Post Menopause Hormone Panel

Hormones are powerful substances that control multiple functions throughout the body. Hormone levels should be sufficient and balanced. Too much or too little of them is not conducive to long-term emotional, mental and bodily health.

By not measuring the hormones before and after treatment your hormone picture is, at best, an educated guess, since hormone levels from woman to woman can vary 200 - 1,500%. In fact many women need only one hormone, while others require 3 or 4 different kinds.

Just as you cannot balance your bank account without numbers on your bank statements, hormone testing provides both a basis for treatment and proximity to your goal.

Pre Menopause hormone panel

This test is ideal for mapping female cycles that are 24 days or less or for data collection. This test uses 11 saliva samples to measure the rhythm of progesterone and one of the estrogens [namely, estradiol (E2)] over a complete menstrual cycle. Two measurements of testosterone are also taken. The results provide a mapping of the menstrual cycle to aid in the evaluation of metabolic imbalances associated with sex hormones.

Male hormone panel

A Male Hormone Test measure a man's hormonal balance which is essential to a man's overall health. A man's hormones don't just control sexual function and activity, they also affect a man's body both physically and emotionally. A Male Hormone Test can help you to remain at your peak levels.

Testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) are two essential male hormones that can affect many aspects of a man's well being.

Testosterone aids in the development of bone, lean muscle and body mass, and cardiovascular function. DHEA is the most abundant hormone in a man's system and serves as the source for testosterone production. DHEA also affects the immune system, blood pressure, sleep and the body's stress response.
