General health is greatly dependent upon proper hormone balance. Your hormones are the biochemical messengers for all of your cells and organ systems, and they operate like a big orchestral symphony requiring all the glands that produce hormones to stay in balance and harmonize. But as you probably realize, this complex symphony can get severely out of tune leading to a whole array of health issues.
You may need to get your hormones tested if you suffer from any of the following:
• Fatigue
• Chronic pain
• Osteoporosis
• Immune problems
• Sleeping problems
• Skin problems
• Blood sugar imbalances
• Allergies
• Autoimmunity
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Libido/sexual response issues
• Fluid retention
• Gas/bloating
• Constipation/diarrhea
Female specific:
• Impaired libido
• Menstrual irregularities
• Hot flashes
• Headaches/migraines
• Vaginal dryness
• Breast tenderness
• Infertility
• Painful/heavy periods
• Painful intercourse
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Male specific:
Middle-aged and experiencing any of these conditions:
• Impaired libido
• Erectile dysfunction
• Baldness and/or extremity hair thinning
• Fat accumulation around the waist
• Urinary problems such as pain, frequency or urgency— or interrupted stream
• Changes in sleeping habits
• Lack of enthusiasm for life
• Increase in bad cholesterol—decrease in good cholesterol
• Osteoporosis
Young and experiencing any of these conditions:

We are all biochemical individuals so any hormonal therapy needs to be preceded by laboratory testing to help determine the best course of action to get the endocrine symphony back in harmony.
