Sleep Disorders
If you get six hours or less of sleep per night, you are probably suffering from sleep deprivation. Sadly, this disorder puts you at risk for depression, obesity, diabetes, and other health problems like anxiety, insomnia, and excessive fatigue.
The two hormones that play central roles in sleep are cortisol, the master stress hormone, and melatonin, the master sleep hormone. Each hormone counterbalances the other in a precise rhythm. When cortisol is high, melatonin should be low, and when melatonin is high, cortisol should be low. When this rhythm is out of balance, sleep disorders are a consequence.
The following test kits can help you identify hormonal imbalances that may be causing your sleep deprivation. Each kit measures specific hormones related to sleep over the course of the day. The test results include an interpretation that will help you understand the hormone imbalances you have and what you can do about them.

Weight Loss & Weight Management
Many of us know from experience that maintaining an ideal weight is difficult despite our best efforts with diet and exercise. What we may not know is that undetected hormone imbalances can be the missing link – sabotaging our hard work to stay slim. Hormones are key players in regulating weight, metabolism, blood sugar, insulin, and when and where the body stores fat. As we age, shifting hormones trigger numerous symptoms of imbalance – including unexplained weight gain.
The following test kits are specifically designed to help you identify hormonal imbalances that may be undermining your weight management efforts. The test results you will receive include an interpretation of the results that you can use to help you reach your weight management goals.
