Saliva vs Blood Hormone Testing

Saliva Hormone Testing is an excellent method to establishing a baseline for our hormones
and guiding the success of treatment plans either through the use of bio-identical hormones or
natural supplements to support hormone health. Key hormones to test for are estradiol,
progesterone, testosterone, DHEA & morning Cortisol.

Blood is simply a transport system ! & is not an accurate method to measuring hormone levels.
Saliva tests hormones in tissue where blood measures hormones that may or may not reach tissue level.

It is the interaction between the five hormone levels that may negatively affect our health. Hormone
imbalance can cause: weight gain/depression/difficulty coping/irritability/sleep disturbances/hot flashes/
& many other symptoms & illnesses.

HCG Diet-Does it work??

HCG Diet is a holistic program that enourages physical wellness as clients learn a healthy lifestyle of
eating. After losing over 25 lbs & 2 sizes, I am convinced of the success of HCG. The benefits is
that HCG, allows our body to burn fat-the uwanted fat stored in our belly, hips, thights & upper
arms. Success is almost immediate however I encourage clients to continue for two months in order to
re-set their metabolism & establish their new healthy lifestyle of eating.
