Hormonal Imbalances

Reset your health — get tested for hormonal imbalances 

Hormonal balance is an often neglected aspect of one’s health, but it influences everything from mood to metabolism. That’s why we’ve designed a specialised hormone test to provide you with insightful data to navigate your path to wellness. At Biolite Aesthetic Clinic, we begin the process of hormonal wellness with a detailed medical questionnaire and an in-depth consultation with experienced specialists in Longevity and Functional Medicine. Our salivary hormone testing offers a precise snapshot of your hormones, so you can make informed decisions about your health.

Your hormones and your overall well-being 

Our goal at Biolite Aesthetic Clinic is to help you get in touch with your hormonal health. Discover how they affect various aspects of your overall well-being, including:

• Metabolic health — Hormones like insulin, glucagon and thyroid hormones directly affect how your body converts food into energy. Hormonal imbalances can lead to significant issues such as diabetes, weight gain and metabolic syndrome, affecting your body's ability to manage energy efficiently.

• Mood and mental health — Hormones such as estrogen, testosterone and cortisol have profound effects on brain function and emotional regulation. Fluctuations in these hormones can contribute to mood swings, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. Keeping these hormones in balance is essential for mental clarity and emotional stability.

• Reproductive health — Hormonal health is synonymous with reproductive health, especially concerning progesterone and estrogen in women, and testosterone in men. Hormonal imbalances can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, reduced libido and complications during menopause or andropause

• Sleep quality — Hormones like melatonin regulate sleep patterns, while others, such as cortisol, are supposed to drop at night to promote restfulness. A hormonal imbalance can lead to sleep disturbances, insomnia and poor sleep quality, which, in turn, affect overall health.

• Bone density and muscle strength — Estrogen and testosterone play significant roles in maintaining bone density and muscle strength. Hormonal imbalances or deficiencies can lead to osteoporosis or decreased muscle mass. This can impact mobility and overall quality of life.

• Stress and adrenal health — The adrenal glands secrete several hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which are crucial in managing stress. Chronic stress can lead to an overproduction of cortisol and result in adrenal fatigue, where the body struggles to manage stress and recover.

FAQs

What is a hormonal imbalance test?

A hormonal imbalance test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of various hormones in your body. At Biolite Aesthetic Clinic, we use salivary testing, which is a non-invasive method to accurately determine the concentrations of hormones such as estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol and DHEA.

Why should I consider getting a hormonal imbalance test?

If you are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, unexplained weight changes, mood swings, sleep disturbances or irregular menstrual cycles, these could be signs of hormonal imbalances. Testing helps identify specific hormonal issues so that targeted treatments can be applied to restore balance and improve your health.

What makes salivary hormone testing special?

Salivary hormone testing is preferred for its convenience, non-invasiveness and accuracy. Unlike blood tests, it can be done quickly in the clinic and does not require any needles. Saliva samples can accurately reflect the active levels of hormones circulating in the body, providing a reliable basis for diagnosis and treatment.

How do I prepare for a hormonal imbalance test?

Generally, there are no stringent preparation rules for salivary hormone testing. However, we advise you to avoid eating, drinking or brushing your teeth immediately before the test to prevent contamination of the saliva sample. Specific instructions will be provided during your appointment scheduling.

How long does it take to get the results?

The results of your hormonal imbalance test typically return within 23-30 days. This allows time for detailed laboratory analysis to ensure accurate and comprehensive results.

What happens after I receive my test results?

Once your results are in, you’ll have a consultation with one of our specialists. Based on your hormonal profile, we will discuss potential treatments or lifestyle adjustments to address your specific needs, which may include dietary changes, supplements or other medical interventions.
