Medical Testing
Hormone testing - Male / Female
Tests included in the Profile:
• Estradiol (E2)
• Testosterone (T)
• DHEA – S (DS)
• Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
• Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) / Male Panel
• Progesterone (Pg) / Female Panel
• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
• Free T3 (fT3)
• Free T4 (fT4)
• Thyroid Auto-Antibodies (TPO)
• Diurnol Cortisol (Cx4)
Our Hormone Profiles are multiple tests bundled into one convenient kit. Priced lower than the sum of the individual tests, these provide a more economical method to assess a patient’s overall hormonal status, giving a better picture of the hormone imbalances that are causing symptoms.
Cortisol testing for Adrenal function
Tests included in the Profile:
• Diurnol Cortisol (Cx4)
• DHEA – S (DS)
If the following symptoms sound familiar, your patients are likely to benefit from testing with the adrenal stress profile:
- Morning or evening fatigue
- Poor concentration and/or impaired performance
- Feeling “tired but wired”
- High stress and irritability
- Increased appetite / cravings
- Sleep disturbances
- Susceptibility to illness
Troublesome or persistent symptoms are clear warning signs of an adrenal imbalance in full swing or waiting to happen. If stress demands remain high, taxing the adrenal glands’ ability to keep up, the eventual course is adrenal fatigue with ensuing complications and related hormone imbalances. Long-term risks for osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes, and cancer go with the territory.
Sleep Balance
Tests included in the Profile:
• Melatonin (MT6s) x 4
• Free Cortisol x 4
• Free Cortisone x 4
• A Simple, Convenient,
- At-Home Testing Option
- Circumvents the disadvantages of serum, saliva, and 24-hour urine tests commonly used for testing these hormones
- Collecting four dried urine strips at four time points during the day is easy and convenient
- First morning MT6s represents night time melatonin production – no need to sample in the middle of the night
- Cortisol, cortisone, and MT6s are exceptionally stable in dried urine for weeks at room temperature, allowing flexibility in collection, shipment, testing, and storage
- Results expressed in μg/g creatinine take into account the hydration status of the patient, so that test results are accurate even when urine is very concentrated or dilute
Weight Management Profile
Weight Management Profile:
• Estradiol (E2)
• Progesterone (Pg)
• Testosterone (T)
• DHEA-S (DS)
• Diurnal Cortisol (Cx4)
• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
• Vitamin D (D2, D3)
• Insulin (In)
• Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
The Weight Management Profile can detect key hormone imbalances that undermine patients’ best efforts to control their weight.
Comprehensive Elements Profile
Tests included in the Profile:
• Cadmium (Cd)
• Lead (Pb)
• Zinc (Zn)
• Copper (Cu)
• Selenium (Se)
• Magnesium (Mg)
• Iodine (I)
• Bromine (Br)
• Selenium (Se)
• Arsenic (As)
• Mercury (Hg)
• Cadmium (Cd)
• Creatinine (Cr)
Levels of both essential and toxic elements that we consume or are exposed to
from the environment are determined by this test.
Thyroid Profile
Tests included in the Profile:
• T4 (T4)
• Thyroglobulin (Tgbn)
• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
• Free T3 (fT3)
• Free T4 (fT4)
• Thyroid Auto-Antibodies (TPO)
• Iodine (I)
• Bromine (Br)
• Selenium (Se)
• Arsenic (As)
• Creatinine (Cr)
• Cadmium (Cd)
• Mercury (Hg)
Provides results to get to the root problem of thyroid disorders and to determine possible effects of nutritional deficiencies or exposures to environmental pollutants on thyroid function and other health issues.
Skin Vitality
Tests included in the Profile:
• Estradiol (E2)
• Estriol (E3)
• Progesterone (Pg)
• Testosterone (T)
• DHEA-S (DS)
• Diurnal Cortisol (Cx4)
• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
• Vitamin D (D2, D3)
As the largest endocrine organ, our skin is teeming with hormone receptor sites. Thus hormone imbalances can trigger skin problems from head to toe.
Neurotransmitter
Neurotransmitters Tested:
• Glutamate
• PEA (phenylethylamine)
• Histamine
• Dopamine
• DOPAC
• HVA (homovanillic acid)
• Epinephrine
• Norepinephrine
• Normetanephrine
• VMA (vanillylmandelic acid)
• GABA
• Serotonin
• 5-HIAA (5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid)
• Glycine
Targeted neurotransmitter testing can help health care practitioners achieve a diagnostic edge beyond the traditional psychological inventory by identifying specific imbalances in neurotransmitter levels.
