Comprehensive Hormone Evaluations at Serenity Health Care Center

Hormonal balance is crucial for overall health and wellbeing. When your hormones are out of balance, you may experience a range of symptoms affecting your energy, mood, weight, and more. At Serenity Health Care Center in Waukesha, WI, we offer detailed hormone evaluations to help you understand and address these imbalances.

Understanding Hormone Imbalances

Hormone imbalances can manifest through various symptoms:

  • Unexplained fatigue
  • Mood swings or depression
  • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Low libido
  • Hair loss
  • Memory issues or brain fog

These symptoms are often dismissed as normal signs of aging or stress, but they may indicate underlying hormonal issues that can be addressed with proper evaluation and treatment.

Our Comprehensive Testing Methodology

At Serenity Health Care Center, we employ both blood and saliva testing methodologies to provide a complete picture of your hormonal health:

Blood Testing

Our comprehensive blood panels measure:

  • Sex Hormones: Including estradiol, estrone, estriol, progesterone, and testosterone levels
  • Thyroid Function: Complete thyroid panels including TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies
  • Adrenal Markers: Cortisol, DHEA-S
  • Metabolic Indicators: Fasting glucose, insulin, and HbA1c
  • Inflammatory Markers: That may influence hormone function
  • Nutrient Levels: Vitamin D, B vitamins, and minerals that support hormone production

Blood testing provides a snapshot of your circulating hormones and offers valuable information about your overall endocrine function.

Saliva Testing

Saliva testing offers unique advantages for hormone evaluation:

  • Measures Bioavailable Hormones: Unlike blood tests that measure total hormone levels, saliva testing measures free, bioavailable hormones—the ones actually available to your cells
  • Circadian Rhythm Assessment: Multiple samples throughout the day help assess cortisol patterns and adrenal function
  • Hormone Metabolism: Provides insights into how your body processes hormones
  • Non-Invasive Collection: Comfortable collection process that can be done at home

For certain hormones, particularly stress hormones like cortisol, saliva testing provides crucial information about your daily hormone fluctuations that blood tests may miss.

The Importance of Dual Testing Methods

By utilizing both blood and saliva testing, we can:

  1. Cross-Reference Results: Ensuring accuracy and comprehensive understanding
  2. Identify Subtle Imbalances: That might be missed by a single testing method
  3. Distinguish Between Total and Bioavailable Hormones: Understanding both quantities and availability to tissues
  4. Track Treatment Efficacy: Monitor how your body responds to interventions over time

This dual approach allows us to develop more precise and effective treatment plans tailored to your body’s specific needs.

1. Expert Analysis:
