Hormone Health Hub: Expert Insights on Testing, Balance & Better Living — evidence based health

Cortisol testing helps evaluate how the body responds to stress by measuring daily hormone patterns linked to energy, sleep, mood, and immune balance. Through saliva and blood spot methods, clinicians can identify adrenal and HPA-axis imbalances early, enabling more personalized strategies to address fatigue, burnout, and stress-related health concerns.

The ZRT Laboratory CardioMetabolic Profile is a convenient finger-prick blood test designed to detect early warning signs of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. By measuring key markers such as insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, HbA1c, and inflammation, it provides a comprehensive view of heart and metabolic health, supporting early intervention and personalized preventive care.

 

Cardiometabolic risk is a cluster of conditions — including high insulin, cholesterol, and blood sugar — that significantly raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Early testing is key to prevention.

The latest research confirms what Dr. John Lee and Dr. David Zava argued decades ago: maintaining healthy progesterone levels in proper balance with oestrogen is one of the most powerful tools women have for preventing and recovering from breast cancer. This article outlines seven practical steps to restore hormone balance and reduce breast cancer risk.

A landmark study published in Nature confirmed what Dr. John Lee and Dr. David Zava argued over a decade ago: natural progesterone — unlike synthetic progestins — can slow or even shrink ER+/PR+ breast cancer tumours. This article explains the receptor science behind the findings and what it means for women’s hormone health.
