Chapter 16: Home Hormone Testing______________________________________________
Medical doctors almost never test their patients for basic hormone levels as part of their therapy regardless of their condition. In the last chapter you saw how critical hormone levels are for your blood lipid levels. Have you ever had a doctor suggest you test your hormone levels for ANY condition? Most all doctors, including endocrinologists, have very little knowledge of hormones, how to test them, and how to supplement low levels. Don’t waste your money on testing bound levels of hormones. If you choose to have a doctor test your hormone levels, this means multiple blood draws, an expensive office visit, and $100 to $200 per hormone. You still might get back results for bound, unavailable sex hormones that tell you almost nothing.
Proteins in our bloodstream called SHBG (sex hormone binding globulins) attach themselves to most of our sex hormones making them biologically unavailable. For example, testosterone is usually about 98% bound with about 2% free usable testosterone that actually affects our biological processes.
For about twenty years now researchers in clinics have been able to accurately measure hormone levels using saliva samples rather than blood. These samples were often used in Third World countries and in the field due to the lack of available refrigeration for blood samples. The World Health Organization approved this method in the 1990’s due to its practicality, accuracy, reliability and inexpensiveness. Finally in the late 1990’s this became available to the general public. You can now buy saliva test kits for estradiol, estrone, estriol, testosterone, androstenedione, DHEA, pregnenolone, cortisol, melatonin, and progesterone among others. You still have to see a doctor to test your insulin, thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and growth hormone (GH). California and New York have banned this due to pressure from the medical profession. If you live in these states simply use a return address for a friend or relative in another state.
This is a tremendous technological breakthrough in both traditional and holistic medicine, yet very few people and very few doctors are even aware of it. People don’t even know where to buy the saliva test kits. No matter what your condition you should know your basic hormone levels. Raise those which are low and lower those which are excessive. Keeping youthful levels of testosterone, melatonin, progesterone, pregnenolone, T3/T4, DHEA, and growth hormone will add years to your life and life to your years. Even many life extension advocates that promote the use of these hormones don’t understand you must test your levels before using them. Almost no one knows what their basic hormone levels are, so they will never enjoy optimal health and lifespan.

These labs generally offer kits testing from 1-4 hormones at about $30-$50 each. Melatonin has to be ordered separately and tested at 3:00 AM. Vegetarians (and fish eaters) will have lower levels of sex hormones generally. Currently, none of the saliva labs will test T3/T4, insulin, or growth hormone. Time of day is very important for when the sample is taken. Take your sample at the same time every morning (e.g. 8:00 AM) for consistency in testing.
