Actions of Hormones: In women, estradiol, progesterone and
testosterone are all steroid hormones produced primarily by the ovaries and
adrenal glands. Each of these hormones has its own unique affect on the
reproductive system, the nervous system, the cardiovascular system and the
skeletal system. Blood sugar levels, libido, mood, motivation, skin and other
functions and tissues are also significantly influenced by each of these
hormones. Like any steroid hormones, excessive
amounts of estradiol, progesterone or testosterone can contribute to a number
of increased health risks. Likewise, a deficiency of any of these hormones
can have a negative affect on your quality of life or risk for disease.
Therefore it is crucial that proper levels also be maintained in all women. |
Why are multiple samples and a fluctuation analysis so important?
Single hormone assessment
is not an accurate
demonstration of your hormonal patterns, which fluctuate from day to day.
Saliva hormones, fluctuate from day to day. Realizing that saliva assays exhibit
hormone concentrations at the tissue level at a given point in time1,
we can recognize that making a
decision about hormone levels based on one saliva sample is not a valid
decision. Previous research, and clinical
experience, has revealed that reliability can
be increased by using more that one
measurement2.How much they fluctuate and what to do about this
fluctuation in regard to your Menopause Type® can only be
determined by the Menopause Type®
Test & Wellness Report. The best way to evaluate hormone levels
during and after menopause is through the collection and testing of at least
three samples, so that fluctuations can be evaluated. Multiple-sample
assessment is required because unstable
hormonal fluctuations have been observed years after menopause 3.
These hormonal fluctuations play a
role in many of the symptoms and problems associated with menopause
including migraine headaches, obesity, mood changes, and bleeding
irregularities in both perimenopause
and postmenopause women 4,5,6,7. |

|
Why You Need This Test: Your improved quality of life and
decreased risk of disease depends upon an accurate and honest report of your hormone
activity. Only multiple-sample, fluctuation analyzed saliva tests will give
you the answers you are looking for. |
|||||||||||
|
What Choices You Can Make After Taking This
Test:
Interventions you may choose include nutritional supplements specific for
your Menopause Type®, and the degree of hormonal fluctuation.
Dietary changes, including which foods may be beneficial to improve your
quality of life and decrease your risks of disease. The member of the
Menopause Type® Network you are working with will be your best
resource for managing your menopause. |
|||||||||||
|
How This
Test Can be Used for Long Term Risk Management: Follow-up testing
60-90 days after making consistent dietary changes will show how much the
hormones have become more stable & improved and allow you to adjust the
intake of suggested foods and supplements. Testing also gives
valuable guidance regarding hormone replacement therapies for women,
including natural hormone therapies and progesterone creams. The test is also
being advised for men who have a family history or other reasons to be
concerned about prostate cancer. Alterations
in current medical or nutritional therapies should be discussed with your
health care professional. |
