Too much or too little of a particular hormone in the body can cause hormonal imbalance.
The Female Hormone Blood test can tell you whether a hormonal imbalance or thyroid problem may be causing your symptoms. This test can also uncover whether a hormonal imbalance affects your fertility.
Symptoms related to Hormonal Imbalance in Women include:
- Burned Out Feeling
- Hot Flashes
- Decreased Sweating
- Cold Body Temperature
- Decreased Stamina
- Decreased Flexibility
- Slow Pulse Rate
- Memory Lapses
- Sleep Disturbances
- Poor Concentration
- Dizzy spells
- Mood Swings
- Decreased Mental Sharpness
- Nervous
- Headaches
- Depressed
- Apathy
- Anxious
- Stress
- Aggressive Behaviours
- Irritable
- Difficulty Sleeping
- Mental Fatigue
If you are experiencing any or a combination of those, it’s worth checking your hormone level imbalance using our comprehensive eight-panel Blood Spot hormone test.
This test will enable you to see if there is any hormonal imbalance in your body and if it is needed to talk to your doctor.
Why Profiles?
When patients have hormone-related symptoms, it is usually not a clear-cut case of one hormone level being abnormal or even one hormone system. Because hormones play a role as chemical messengers to wake up the genome in specific target tissues throughout the body, it makes sense that all hormone systems work together to maintain a balance. This could be like the instruments in an orchestra playing together in harmony. The overall harmony is affected when one instrument is off-key or playing too loudly or softly (analogous to too much or too little hormone). Similarly, the adrenal, thyroid, and sex hormones work in harmony, and when one or more of the hormones in any system becomes unbalanced, this affects the harmony or balance of the whole system. Symptoms common to hormonal imbalances in the endocrine systems are seen as the body struggles to maintain balance but fails. Without an overall picture of which hormone systems are affected, it is often difficult to know the best clinical course of action for correcting the imbalance.
Hormone “Profiles” at ZRT are multiple hormone tests bundled into one convenient kit. Priced lower than the sum of the individual tests, these provide a more economical method to assess a patient’s overall hormonal status, giving a better picture of the hormone imbalances causing symptoms.
The Hormones Tested in Our Profiles and Why
Estradiol and Progesterone
Estradiol and progesterone play a central role in hormonal balance for both women and men. Their levels—and the balance between them—are key indicators of overall endocrine health. When estradiol is too high relative to progesterone, symptoms associated with estrogen dominance may occur.
Testosterone and SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
Testosterone is vital for muscle mass, bone strength, mood, energy, and sexual function in both men and women. SHBG is a protein produced by the liver that binds to estradiol and testosterone in the bloodstream, regulating how much of these hormones are biologically active.
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone / DHEA-S)
DHEA is produced by the adrenal glands and circulates mainly as DHEA-S. It serves as a precursor to both estrogens and androgens and reflects adrenal function. DHEA production peaks in early adulthood and gradually declines with age.
Cortisol
Cortisol is a key marker of adrenal function and the body’s response to stress. Under healthy conditions, cortisol follows a daily rhythm—highest in the morning and gradually declining throughout the day.
Thyroid Hormones (Free T4, Free T3, TSH, TPO Antibodies)
Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, energy production, body temperature, and overall vitality. Imbalances can cause symptoms such as persistent fatigue, feeling cold, weight gain, low mood, reduced libido, and elevated cholesterol in both men and women.
Together, these hormone markers provide a comprehensive view of endocrine health, helping to identify imbalances that may affect energy, mood, metabolism, reproductive health, and long-term well-being in both men and women.
