Hormone Imbalance
Hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, DHEA, progesterone, insulin, leptin, cortisol and a complete thyroid panel are a few of the hormones that we evaluate regularly.
Stress can play a significant role in the fluctuation of your hormone levels. An alarming 75% of adults reported moderate to high levels of stress according to the American Psychological Association. They also reported stress as a top health concern for U.S. teenagers and further commented that if they don’t learn to manage stress, it could have serious long-term health implications.
How Does Stress Affect Hormone Imbalance?
Stress triggers the fight or flight response and the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands. The result is a temporary increase in energy production, however it is at the expense of all of the other processes not required for immediate survival. Short-term stress is something we can recover from; the effect of chronic stress, however, can cause a host of signs and symptoms in the body.

Testing your hormones is one way to be proactive about your health. I will commonly tell my patients, “you don’t know what you don’t know,” stressing that proper lab testing is invaluable. Due to the continuous fluctuations in our stress levels, environmental toxin exposure, level of physical activity, nutritional status, etc., our hormone levels will differ from month to month and certainly from year to year.
