The body makes dozens of hormones that affect our health every day -sex hormones, thyroid, cortisol/stress hormones, melatonin etc. When hormones are out of balance, it can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, low libido, weight fluctuations, hair or skin changes, and many more. These symptoms can overlap since all hormones influence each other. That means, to get a full picture of hormonal health we need a broader lens.
Listen in today as we discuss Genova’s Endo+ Profile – The first of its kind. Endo+ is a modular panel of testing that offers the unique ability to assess saliva, blood, and urine simultaneously. This flexibility allows providers to create their own profiles to reveal insights and connections between sex hormones, thyroid function, adrenal health, melatonin rhythms, and estrogen metabolism – and Genova synthesizes all of that information for you!
