Test Instructions
Here are the instructions for taking the adrenal and sex hormone panel for menopausal women. It is important to read and follow these precisely in order to ensure accurate results.
Minimizing Menapause
This panel is great for those that are needing some work on their sex and adrenal hormones.
Adrenal and Sex Hormones - saliva
This is an at-home saliva test that measures samples from multiples times during a single day to give a thorough picture of how the hormones are working. The cortisol levels throughout the day will help us see how the adrenals are functioning and where to support them best. These levels may be off due to inflammation, stress, blood sugar dysregulation or HPA axis dysregulation (Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis). All of these can be addressed through diet, lifestyle choices and strategic supplementation!
With this test we also get samples of all 3 estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA. When looking at hormones, it is not just how much you have but also the ratio between the hormones that will create health or dysfunction. The DHEA is a precursor building block to both the adrenal and the sex hormones and is a great way to see where the break down is happening if the hormones are out of balance. If the Hypothalamus & Pituitary are not regulating the hormones properly in the adrenals, then often they are not regulating the sex hormones well either.
By balancing sex and adrenal hormones and addressing WHY the hormones are not balanced, many symptoms correlated with menopause will be minimized or even eliminated!

What our clients say!
I'm so thankful for Katrina and her incredible knowledge! Before i felt pretty alone and aimless trying to figure out what was going on with my body. I've been to many doctors and come away disappointed. But now i feel confident and have a plan to heal! The difference is that katrina focuses on using nutrition to support and balance the bodies natural healing abilities. This gets to the root instead of just treating symptoms! She is so kind and encouraging, and always available to answer questions. I live that when i talk to her it's live talking to a friend who genuinely cares.
Elayne Montgomery
Katrina has helped me find what was causing my hot flashes, lack of energy, blemishes and extra weight, but didn't overwhelm me with the information or steps I needed to take in order to heal. Her knowledge, drive and love for better health is obvious and so encouraging. God has really blessed me through her.
Susan Fleming
Katrina is amazingly knowledgeable about nutrition and how the body works. I have learned so much from her. She has helped me to lose over 50 pounds with Keto and has made my acid reflux totally disappear. She has balanced my hormones and blood sugar. She is always willing to answer questions. I have loved working with her!
