If you are struggling with weight loss you have probably tried everything but never thought about having your hormone levels evaluated. Without hormonal balance – for both men and women – your body can’t regulate internal activities properly. An estrogen excess can block the function of your thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone is responsible for regulating metabolism, weight and energy levels. With a slowed metabolism, you store more fat.
A progesterone deficiency can promote water retention and bloating and you may notice increased fat gain around your hips and thighs. Testosterone, when in balance with your other hormones, helps build muscle and promote muscle tone. With a simple, non-invasive saliva test we can determine your bodies hormone levels and supplement with bioidentical hormones if necessary.
