Saliva Testing for Hormone Levels
At-home saliva testing kits are essential for understanding the signals your body sends you throughout the day. Mainly because they combine simplicity with maximum reliability. Home saliva tests are used to check the levels of estrogen, DHEA, testosterone and progesterone, as well as salivary cortisol and adrenal function. They’re also simple enough for anyone to use.
What We Learn from Saliva Testing
Salivary testing is a practice used by Dr. Khan and his team of functional medicine experts at Internal Healing and Wellness MD to examine a variety of diseases and hormonal abnormalities. Our home office could contact patients from The Woodlands and Greater Houston area, to provide them with home saliva-testing kits. These kits are simple enough to use that they can be easily handled at home by anyone.
Our saliva testing procedure is completely non-invasive because it only requires the patients to simply collect saliva samples in plastic tubes and mail them to our laboratory. Patients will not need to book a consultation in order for our holistic and functional medicine doctors to conduct a hormone saliva testing. Our experts will then be easily able to analyze hormone levels, evaluate bodily surpluses and deficiencies, and track hormonal balance. With the available cutting-edge technology at our facility along with a functional medicine approach, we make sure that the data obtained from the saliva tests is as accurate as possible.
The function of the adrenal glands is one of the most important things we can learn from hormonal saliva tests. These ducts produce a variety of hormones, most notably cortisol and aldosterone, both of which are steroid hormones. Any disorder in the functioning of these glands can cause a number of problems, including:
- Obesity
- Thin Limbs
- Depression
- Mood swings
- Brittle bones
- Muscular weakness
- Slow growth in children
- Increased blood pressure
- Increase in blood sugar levels
- Skin problems such as acne and abdominal streaks
