Why Hormone Testing is Key to Your Long-Term Health

You’re feeling tired, moody, or just off—but your labs say everything looks “normal.” Sound familiar?

The truth is, most standard blood tests don’t provide the full picture of what’s happening in your body hormonally. That’s why comprehensive hormone testing is the cornerstone of care at Coastal Health & Vitality.

Why Hormone Testing Matters:

Hormones are your body’s internal messengers. Even small imbalances can lead to big symptoms—and if we don’t test, we’re just guessing.

What Can Hormone Testing Help Identify?

  • Thyroid issues (even with “normal” TSH)

  • Estrogen dominance or progesterone deficiency

  • Low testosterone in men or women

  • Cortisol imbalance (from chronic stress)

  • Adrenal fatigue

  • Perimenopause or menopause timing

  • PMS or cycle-related imbalances

Types of Testing We Use:

  • Blood testing – ideal for baseline levels

  • Saliva testing – excellent for bioavailable hormone levels

  • DUTCH test – a gold standard for in-depth hormone & cortisol patterns

We use a combination of these based on your symptoms, goals, and health history.

Once We Test, We Can Treat Effectively

Testing allows us to create a targeted plan that might include:

  • BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy)

  • Nutritional or supplement support

  • Stress and sleep optimization

  • Functional lifestyle changes

Stop Guessing. Start Testing. Feel Better.

If you’re wondering whether hormones are at the root of your symptoms, the first step is to get answers.
