Saliva Testing
Saliva testing is the best test method for testing unbalanced and balanced hormones. Over 300 studies in the last five years have used saliva as a diagnostic medium to measure free hormone levels. These studies have been conducted showing the validity of assaying these steroid hormones in saliva. Blood sample testing for unbalanced and balanced hormones, measure total hormone production, a value that includes bound (not free) hormones that are unavailable for the body's use.
A healthy hormone-balancing program should consist of a baseline saliva test to measure hormone levels in the body for:
Estradiol
Progesterone
Testosterone
DHEA
Cortisol levels (a.m. and p.m.)
A healthy hormone-balancing program should also consist of blood testing to measure hormone levels in the body for:
Thyroid function
Insulin resistance
IGF-1 for human growth hormone
PSA (males only)
