Hormones play a vital role in regulating many aspects of health, including mood, energy, metabolism, fertility, and sleep. When hormones become imbalanced, they can have a significant impact on how we feel physically, mentally, and emotionally. At Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic, we offer comprehensive hormone testing for both women and men to uncover the root cause of symptoms and guide personalised treatment.
Hormonal testing is especially important when symptoms are ongoing or unexplained and can help detect changes before more serious issues develop. We use advanced saliva testing to assess sex hormones and adrenal function over the course of the day, offering a deeper insight than a one-off blood test might provide.
What Can Hormone Testing Help Identify?
- Fatigue and burnout
- Mood changes including anxiety, irritability, or depression
- Low libido
- Menstrual irregularities or symptoms of PMS
- Perimenopause or menopause symptoms
- Fertility challenges
- Poor stress tolerance
- Weight gain or metabolic changes
- Sleep issues
- Hair loss or thinning
Who Should Consider Hormone Testing?
This test is suitable for anyone experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, whether related to reproductive health, energy, or mood. It is particularly useful for individuals navigating life stages such as adolescence, perimenopause, menopause, or andropause, or those dealing with ongoing stress and fatigue.
How It Works
Hormone testing is done via saliva collection, blood sample or urine. Samples may be taken at specific times throughout the day to assess how hormones fluctuate, particularly for cortisol and other adrenal hormones.
Once your results are available, your practitioner will walk you through them in detail. From there, they will create a tailored treatment plan which may include herbal or nutritional support, dietary adjustments, stress and sleep strategies, and lifestyle recommendations. Our goal is to support your hormones naturally and holistically, and in a way that works best for you.
