HORMONE BY DESIGN

- The sex hormones include Testosterone, DHEA, the Estrogens and Progesterone. Sex hormones can be tested in blood, urine or saliva... - Blood testing measures the total amount of hormone available. Most of the hormones in the blood will be tightly bound to carrier proteins and so serum testing does not always give an accurate depiction of the ‘free' hormone available to be used by your tissues... The adrenal glands are responsible for the secretion of stress hormones, such as cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine. The adrenals are also responsible for secreting DHEA, an important precursor to sex hormones and potent "anti-aging" hormone.
