Menopause
Menopause marks a significant hormonal shift in a woman's life, signaling the end of reproductive years. It involves a complex interplay of factors, including hormonal imbalances and lifestyle influences. Symptoms vary widely, ranging from hot flashes to mood changes. Understanding these elements leads to effective, personalized treatment strategies for menopausal discomfort.

Symptoms of Menopause
Menopause can present in many different ways, depending on the individual and the severity of the hormonal changes. Some common symptoms of menopause include:
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Irregular or absent periods
- Mood changes or depression
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort during intercourse
- Urinary incontinence or urgency
- Reduced libido or sexual function
Causes of Menopause
Menopause is a natural biological process that occurs when the ovaries stop producing eggs and hormone production decreases. However, the underlying causes of menopause can be influenced by a variety of factors, including:
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Chronic stress and emotional trauma
- Environmental toxins
- Genetic predisposition
- Medical conditions such as thyroid dysfunction or autoimmune disorders
- Surgical removal of the ovaries or uterus
Treatments for Menopause
The treatment of menopause from a functional medicine perspective typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and targeted supplements or medications. Some common treatments for menopause may include:
- Stress reduction techniques such as meditation or yoga
- Dietary changes such as increasing consumption of whole foods and reducing intake of processed foods
- Nutritional supplementation with key nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium
- Hormone replacement therapy or other targeted hormone supplementation to balance hormone levels
- Reducing exposure to environmental toxins
- Addressing underlying inflammation or infection through targeted supplementation or medication
- Supporting sexual health and function through targeted supplements or medications

Lab Test Saliva Tests
Adrenal Fatigue
Adrenal fatigue, known as tired adrenal glands, happens when the adrenal glands cut down hormone production after long-term severe stress or trauma. This mainly affects cortisol and DHEA levels. Initially, the adrenal glands boost cortisol and DHEA production in response to stress. Research shows that prolonged stress leads to a decrease in DHEA. Thus, measuring both cortisol and DHEA is vital to evaluate adrenal function and provide the right support.
DHEA
Low DHEA levels can cause symptoms like fatigue, depression, low libido, and obesity. High levels, on the other hand, might lead to PCOS, acne, and hair loss. People with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) commonly have low DHEA levels.
Cortisol
Since cortisol levels fluctuate during the day, it's important to measure them multiple times to get a full picture of adrenal cortisol production. Ideally, cortisol levels should be highest in the morning and decrease as the day progresses. Today, many people show abnormal cortisol patterns, including levels that are too low, high, flat, or even inverted. This test specifically measures bioavailable free cortisol seven times in a single day, as only free cortisol is biologically active.
How Does the Adrenal Test Work?
You receive two saliva test kits to use at home. The cortisol samples are taken seven times in one day, and the DHEA samples twice in the morning. Once you collect the samples, send them to our lab. Your digital test results will be available as soon as our lab finishes analyzing your samples.
