What Brought You To SalivaTesting.com?
Have you had a hysterectomy and now feel different, wondering if your hormones might be the cause? Are you struggling with unexplained fatigue? Has your libido suddenly dropped for no clear reason? Is your stress level off the map? Are you gaining weight even when you’re doing everything right? Are you trying to get pregnant?
These are all possible signs of hormone imbalance. Saliva testing can help identify whether your hormones are contributing to your symptoms.
Once the underlying imbalance is uncovered, a clear path toward healing and renewed health can begin.
Why Hormone Balance Matters
Balanced hormones are one of the most important keys to achieving optimum health and wellness. At SalivaTesting.com, we believe that true health isn’t possible without hormone balance—for both women and men. Men and women share the same hormones, just in different amounts, so they both use the same saliva test, which measures key hormones: estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and AM cortisol.
Common Signs of Hormone Imbalance
➤ Fatigue or low energy
-
Tiredness even after sleeping
-
Needing caffeine just to function
-
Energy crashes during the day
-
Feeling “wired but tired” or unrefreshed upon waking
➤ Brain fog or trouble focusing
➤ Weight gain or difficulty losing weight, especially around the midsection
➤ Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability
➤ Sleep problems or insomnia
➤ Low libido
➤ Digestive issues
➤ Hair loss or thinning hair
➤ Hot flashes or night sweats
➤ For women: PMS, menstrual irregularities, or symptoms of surgical or natural menopause
The real power lies in knowing your hormone levels and understanding “The Next Step.” With the information provided in a saliva test and a professional review, you can take targeted steps to restore balance and experience noticeable improvements in how you feel.
After a Hysterectomy
A hysterectomy removes the uterus and sometimes the ovaries.
Total Hysterectomy removes the entire uterus, including the cervix.
Subtotal Hysterectomy removes the uterus but leaves the cervix intact.
Radical Hysterectomy removes the uterus, cervix, and surrounding tissues.
If the ovaries are removed, surgical menopause results immediately. Even if the ovaries are left, they may be traumatized and cease working within about five years. Saliva testing helps women who have had a hysterectomy determine whether their hormone levels have been affected and to what degree.
It guides those with ovaries intact to see if hormone output remains normal, and it shows women without ovaries which hormones to replace and to what levels. Natural hormone balancing programs, when warranted by testing, can profoundly influence health and wellness.
Is Your Stress Affecting Your Hormones?
Chronic stress can throw estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol out of balance. Signs include:
➤ Fatigue or low energy, thanks to drained adrenal glands
➤ Weight gain, especially belly fat, and difficulty losing it
➤ Anxiety, mood swings, or irritability
➤ Sleep problems or insomnia from elevated evening cortisol or low progesterone
➤ Low libido from disrupted sex hormones
➤ Brain fog or trouble concentrating
➤ Hair loss or thinning
➤ Digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or IBS-like symptoms
Good news: once you identify where the imbalances are with a saliva test, you can address them with targeted lifestyle changes, stress management, nutrition, and natural support. Test, don’t guess when it comes to hormones.
Fatigue: The Symptom You Can’t Ignore
Constant fatigue is not normal—it’s your body’s way of telling you that your hormones may be out of balance. Progesterone, your calming, stabilizing hormone, should be at an optimal level to support restful sleep and stress regulation. When progesterone is too low, you may:
➤ Wake up unrefreshed
➤ Rely on caffeine or sugar to function
➤ Experience mid-afternoon crashes
➤ Feel exhausted yet unable to relax
➤ Struggle with brain fog
➤ Find exercise draining instead of energizing
➤ Experience mood swings and low motivation
If any of these describe you, it may be time to listen to what your hormones are telling you.
Preparing for Pregnancy
Hormonal imbalances often play a major role in difficulty conceiving. At the center of fertility are two key hormones:
➤ Estrogen: builds the uterine lining and regulates ovulation.
➤ Progesterone: maintains the uterine lining after ovulation and supports early pregnancy.
Without the right balance—enough estrogen to trigger ovulation and enough progesterone to sustain implantation—irregular cycles, luteal phase defects, and early miscarriage can occur.
A simple saliva test measures your bioavailable levels of estrogen and progesterone, providing a roadmap to correct any imbalances and optimize fertility.
Libido and Hormones
Sex drive depends on a delicate balance between testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone:
➤ Estrogen maintains lubrication and sensitivity but can suppress desire when unopposed.
➤ Progesterone calms the nervous system and supports emotional openness.
➤ Testosterone fuels desire and responsiveness in both men and women.
Chronic stress and high cortisol can suppress progesterone and block testosterone, leaving many people feeling exhausted and uninterested in intimacy. Testing helps you restore balance—and often your natural desire returns.
Weight Gain and Hormones
Your body’s ability to maintain a healthy weight depends on balanced hormones. Key players include:
➤ Estrogen: too much can cause fat storage and water retention.
➤ Progesterone: balances estrogen, preventing dominance.
➤ Testosterone: supports muscle mass and metabolism.
➤ Cortisol: high levels trigger abdominal fat storage and increase cravings.
➤ Insulin: (not measured in saliva) often worsens when other hormones are imbalanced.
If you’re gaining weight despite healthy habits, it’s not about willpower—it’s about chemistry. A saliva hormone test measures estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and DHEA, guiding you toward restoring balance for a healthier metabolism, reduced cravings, and effective weight management.
