Read below to find out more...
Hormones are the little chemicals in our body that take a signal or message from one part to another. They are like our internal postal service.
If one part of the body isn't responding to the "mail/message" then more hormones will be sent. OR sometimes when the body is under stress it sends a surge of messages/hormones.
The result is a hormone imbalance or a hormone transition.
Hormone imbalances & transitions times include
Poly cystic ovaries and PCOS
Pregnancy, breast feeding and post partum
Perimenopause, menopause and post menopause
PMS, heavy periods, Endometriosis
Times of stress & change
Reproductive cancers such as breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers
This is not an exhaustive list but gives you an idea ...
Hormone imbalances are very common!
In a study in 2010, 84% of women reported feeling "hormonal" at some time and most are not detected or diagnosed.
Certain hormones; oestrogen (which is the same as estrogen), progesterone, testosterone are best tested via your saliva.
This is called a saliva hormone test.
Other hormones can be accurately measured using blood testing, or urine.
Hormone imbalances may present in many ways:
Trying to guess the hormone that is “out” is like gambling on someone's health. You may get it right, but even with over 33 years experience in reading hormone results, I prefer to use science.
Saliva testing for sex hormones is considered “Gold Standard.”
Unfortunately in many countries, including Australia, saliva testing is not covered by Medicare.
However a small investment into your health may one day save your life, or at least improve it!
The testing is simple and includes in the test kit:
- A saliva test tube
- Instructions on how to do the test
- A reply paid envelope to post your saliva test back to Melbourne
- A thirty minute session with Sam Beau Patrick to discuss your results and strategies

Sudden cessation of HRT is not recommended so if this is you please contact Sam for more options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Testing the above hormones are best done on saliva testing.
Saliva testing has the advantage of reflecting non-protein bound, or the "free" active hormone component.
Steroid hormones mostly bind to certain proteins in the blood. It is the free non-bounded hormone that is more readily available to your cells and best reflects your hormone levels.
Another benefit is being able to measure what hormones are absorbed, where as serum (blood levels) don't show you that.
