Hormone Health Hub: Expert Insights on Testing, Balance & Better Living — women endocrine health

Single nucleotide variations (SNVs) in the enzymes that metabolise estrogen can significantly alter breast cancer risk — in some cases by as much as 12-fold when multiple variants combine. In this detailed scientific overview, Jillian Harrington PhD of ZRT Laboratory explains how variations in CYP11A1, CYP19A1 (aromatase), CYP1B1, COMT and MnSOD affect the estrogen metabolism pathway, why catechol estrogens are dangerous, and how methylation testing can reveal individual vulnerability.

Explore how hormones fluctuate through every stage of the menstrual cycle — from menarche to menopause — and discover how estrogen, progesterone, LH, and FSH influence mood, energy, fertility, PMS, migraines, weight changes, and overall women’s health. Learn how menstrual cycle mapping can help identify hormone imbalances and provide deeper insight into symptoms throughout the month.

Estrogen dominance — an excess of oestrogen relative to progesterone — is one of the most common hormonal imbalances in women. From heavy periods and mood swings to breast tenderness and weight gain, the symptoms are wide-ranging. Discover the causes, what to test, and how to restore balance.

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. But many risk factors are modifiable — including hormone imbalance and excess weight. Discover the two most important actions women can take to reduce breast cancer risk, and how hormone testing can help identify hidden imbalances before they become a problem.

Itchy, Bitchy, Sweaty, Sleepy, Bloated, Forgetful and All Dried Up — the seven dwarves of menopause are all too real for millions of women. But these symptoms aren’t inevitable. Undetected hormone imbalances are behind most of them, and testing is the first step to getting your good menopause back.
