Hormones Need Balance

If you are experiencing unexplained weight gain, fatigue, constipation or a puffy face, you may be suffering from a hormone imbalance.  Your two key hormone systems, sex and adrenal hormones work in conjunction with one another and an imbalance in one system, affects the balance of the other.

MALES

This comprehensive assessment looks at the diurnal cortisol levels and assesses four vital male hormones to determine treatment required to restore balance and achieve overall wellness.

Lifestyle, physical and psychological stresses put constant demands on the adrenal glands, causing adrenal fatigue to be experienced.  Symptoms may include fatigue, hypotension, salt cravings, hypoglycaemia, lowered immunity and a lowered resistance to stress. Assessing your cortisol, DHEA and other adrenal hormone levels can help to identify any imbalances and will assist with effective therapy.

From the age of 30, males experience a decrease in testosterone at a rate of 10% per decade. In addition, estradiol (an estrogen hormone) often rises, leading to increased body fat and increased prostate cancer risk. This reduction of testosterone and other androgens experienced as a consequence of the ageing process has been named andropause. In contrast to women, the decline in hormone levels in men is gradual, partial and is a slow progressive process without steps. Furthermore, the age and testosterone level at which each individual experiences clinical symptoms can be highly variable.

Assessing your cortisol, DHEA and other adrenal hormone levels can help to identify any imbalances and will assist with effective therapy.

Hormone imbalances are associated with numerous symptoms and health conditions. Assessing and diagnosing any changes is important to decrease unnecessary suffering and prevent degenerative diseases.
