Male Hormone Testing, Results, and Treatment
I have adrenal fatigue and probably have for about 10 years. I am
pretty sure I know exactly when it started.
I put a name to my adrenal fatigue problem last fall. This past
spring I discovered that I have some sort of sensitivity to gluten
that caused a lot of stress in my body. I have been avoiding gluten
since the discovery. I also have been trying to support my adrenal
glands with some supplements in addition to the type O diet. From
what I understand it may take as much as a year or two to get my
adrenal glands recovered. I want to make sure I am doing whatever I
can to help the process along.
Therefore, I beleive I need to get my hormones tested to see where
they currently are at and am trying to decide which hormones to get
tested. I definitely need to get cortisol and DHEA tested, and may
go ahead and get testosterone, progesterone, and estradiol tested. I
have also seen and gotten different recommendations on whether or not
I need to get estrone, estriol and DHT tested. Does anybody have any
comments or experience with this?
Does anybody know of any good references on the Internet to
understanding male hormone saliva testing results? It would also be
nice to find a source for treatment suggestions based on different
results. It is much harder to find hormone info for men! So far I
have not found as much information as I would like. I never trust
one source be it a doctor or the Internet so it would be nice to find
more information to read.
Thanks for your help,
Don
