Ordering the Rhythm | New York Test
Ordering the Rhythm | New York test helps measure hormone levels that can affect mood, energy, and metabolism. This test checks for estradiol, testosterone, and progesterone using a simple saliva sample, making it easy to collect at home. Interestingly, saliva testing can show hormone changes throughout the day, which blood tests may miss.
When ordering, you can expect these specific benefits:
- Tracks hormone changes that may be linked to mood swings or fatigue.
- Helps identify hormone imbalances that could affect weight or digestion.
- Supports finding the cause of skin rashes or unexplained headaches.
- Assists in checking for hormone-related food sensitivities or bloating.
- Offers a non-invasive way to monitor hormone levels over time.
Who Should Consider Hormone Balance Testing
People who notice changes in their mood, energy, or digestion may benefit from this test. For example, someone who feels tired in the afternoon, has trouble sleeping, and notices changes in their skin might find answers by checking their hormone levels.
Ordering this test may also be helpful in these situations:
- Experiencing frequent headaches that do not improve with usual care.
- Having unexplained weight gain or loss despite no changes in eating habits.
- Dealing with ongoing joint pain or inflammation without a clear reason.
- Noticing new or worsening food sensitivities or digestive issues.
- Finding that mood swings seem to follow a monthly pattern, which can be linked to hormone cycles.
Testing can help pinpoint if hormone changes are causing symptoms like fatigue, skin problems, or digestive trouble. Delaying this test could mean missing early signs of hormone imbalance, which may make it harder to manage symptoms later. To move forward, order the test to get clear answers about your hormone levels.
Preparing for Salivary Hormone Testing
