24-Hour Saliva, Stool and Hair Test Analysis Results
Hi all, I just recently saw a naturopath at Summit Natural Wellness Center and got the following labs done. I suffer from hypogonadism, adrenal fatigue, severe digestive problems, scalp inflammation, and of course, hair loss. My hormones have been out of wack ever since I took Propecia 6 years ago. Labs were done by Diagnos-Techs and Trace Elements. Would love to hear some opinions on these results.
24-Hour Saliva
Androstendione - 190 (151-350 pg/ml)
Cortisol (AM) - 6 (13-24 nM)
Cortisol (PM) - 2 (1-4 nM)
DHEA/S - 6 (3-10 ng/ml)
DHT - 75 (22-72 pg/ml)
Estradiol - 3 (1-3 pg/ml) - Top of range, been high in previous tests.
Estrone - 82 (30-58 pg/ml)
Progesterone - 18 (5-95 pg/ml)
Testosterone - 53 (50-80 pg/ml) - Technically within range, but barely. I've been diagnosed with hypogonadism (blood, 24-hour urine testing) in the past.
