Hormone Testing

If your hormones are not aligned, you’ll have a hard time correcting intestinal permeability (leaky gut). Once the diet, lifestyle and digestive support is happening, it might be time to check hormones.

Hormone testing is advised based on symptoms. The longer someone has been sick, the more likely they will want lab data to help fine tune the plan of action. If you have been sick for only a few weeks or months, it’s better to go after the low hanging fruit and run fewer labs.

Females will want to check adrenals, thyroid and female hormones like progesterone, estrogen, estrogen metabolites, estradiol, estriol, DHEA metabolites and maybe melatonin.

Males will want to check adrenals, thyroid and male hormones like testosterone.

More on this in coming days.
