Our hormones are the body's chemical messengers that help regulate vital functions such as metabolism, mood and more. Produced in the endocrine glands, these powerful chemicals travel through the bloodstream and have a direct role in how well tissues and organs work. While shifts in hormone levels are normal for women to experience around their menstrual cycle, when pregnant, or as they age, when hormones become off balance, a vast range of health concerns may start to emerge. With this at-home lab test, you can assess high or low estrogen and progesterone and the important ratio of these two hormones in order to pinpoint what might be triggering mood swings, weight gain, and low libido.
When women experience levels of estrogen that are either too high or too low, they may suffer from weight gain, fatigue, mood swings, and irregular menstrual cycles. While small shifts in hormone levels are constantly present for women in all stages of their life due to their monthly cycles or pregnancy, as they age into their 40's and 50's, they experience larger hormone shifts as part of menopause. The hormonal swings that occur during menopause can cause hot flashes, sleep disruptions, and low libido. Having a clear picture of estrogen and progesterone levels, as well as the ratio between the two, can arm you with the information you need to recalibrate hormone levels.
If you're ready to take charge of your health through balanced hormones, this test will provide the critical insight you need to establish a wellness plan. Ensuring that estrogen and progesterone levels are in a good place, will put you on the path to achieve weight management, balanced moods, improved sleep and increased libido. By rebalancing at the root cause level, you will experience the benefits that come with well-balanced levels of hormones that work to keep all of the body's systems functioning optimally.
