Dr. Emdur shares what a saliva test may indicate about a woman's hormones.
Dr. Emdur:
Saliva testing is somewhat controversial since your allopathic physicians don’t feel that it’s very accurate way to analyze hormones such as cortisol and sex hormones. But in actuality, if you go to PubMed, there’s thousands of pure reviewed publications that have used salivary testing to monitor these hormone levels.
There is some variability between labs and you want to make sure you are using a certified, well-qualified lab, but it gives the excellent results which maybe more reflective of what your hormones are doing in your body the day that they are being analyzed.
