Comprehensive Male Hormone Testing


PLEASE NOTE: testing cannot be ordered without a medical assessment. If you wish to conduct any form of naturopathic testing, an initial consultation with Dr. Holmberg is required. 
     Hormone imbalance affects men too - in fact, low testosterone is a common cause of irritability and grumpiness in men. If too much testosterone is converted to estradiol, decreased sex drive and increased breast size can result.

Other conditions associated with male hormone imbalance:
  • apathy, depression
  • bone loss, hair loss
  • erectile dysfunction
  • memory loss
  • weight gain
  • benign prostate hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)

Four hormones make up the Male Panel: cortisol, DHEAs, estradiol, and testosterone, as well as ALL of their metabolities, providing information on excesses or deficiencies in these hormones, AND how the body is utilizing them.  Interactions between these hormones are fundamental to health - which is why imbalances can have a significant impact on well-being. Knowing which imbalances are occurring helps your health care provider target natural therapies to move them back into balance.

Why get Urinary hormone testing? 

      While clinical symptoms provide some insight, Urinary Hormone testing gives you and your Naturopath a detailed snapshot into every step of the process in your endocrine system. Blood or salivary hormone samples are less accurate at identifying imbalances, as they only reflect free floating hormones, and fail to account for hormones that are in use or bound in tissue. Furthermore, they provide a reflection of the amount of free hormone, but not what your body is in fact doing with it. 
        For example, testoterone may appear within a normal range on bloodwork, but bloodwork fails to assess if that's a result of the testosterone having been broken down into into metabolite, DHT (which is 2.5x more potent, an as a result, will still cause symptoms of excess testoterone) 
      Benefits to urinary hormone assessments include the ability to assess both primary hormone levels, their pathway of breakdown, and the efficacy of the enzymes that are doing so. The results allow for a tailored treatment plan that are specific to you and your hormonal needs, and treatments often work faster and more effectively.
