Hormone Testing for Women

Do you experience any of these symptoms?

You may benefit from functional hormone testing!

Saliva hormone testing is established as the best method for accurate analysis of your active hormone levels.  Testosterone, estrogen, progesterone DHEA and cortisol can be measured in saliva.

The ratio is very valuable because it allows us to treat the estrogen dominance and help your body return to optimal health.
