Sunny, hormone tests, was Pregnenolone

[Guest guest]

Thank you Jackie for your response. My doctor did blood level

testing for other hormones

DHEA-Sulfate 106 range 32- 240

vitamin D 23.7 range 32- 100

progesterone 1.5

Estrogen 360 according to doc this is high

Cortisol AM 8.4 range 4.3- 22.4

Pregnenolone 38 range 20-150

She also did neurotransmitter test through neuroscience and it

showed all of them to be low.

Couple of years back I did saliva testing for hormones and had low

cortisol and high Estrogen.

My problem is lack of focus, sluggishness, feeling exhausted, PMS,

getting up after 4 hrs of sleep to Urinate and then not being able

to go back to sleep. I am turning 41 this year but half of my head

is grey. I have lost most hair below my knees. Have several food

allergies especially to dairy and chicken.

Look forward to hear from you....

Thanks in advance!!!!

if he mentions low adrenal reserve? It doesn't seem like many

really understand this hormone business, unfortunately. And for

many hormones, saliva testing is better, but most doctors don't

understand this either.

> I would suggest you do a saliva hormone test, testing your

cortisol levels 4X/day, plus your sex hormones, too. These tests

are available through the www.canaryclub.org, in the links section.

You can also do some reading and do a symptom checklist at some of

the other links, such as www.johnleemd.com and www.zrtlabs.com. You

can order at those websites too, but it is cheaper through the

canaryclub for the same tests.

to try, and since it is a precursor to other hormones, it may help

whatever is low. But, it would probably be best to do the testing

first, to find out what your levels are now, without any support.

Good luck!--------Jackie
