***This is the hormone test that Dr. Berkson most often recommends for best overall first assessment of hormone functioning
This test evaluates: all sex steroid hormones plus metabolites (catechol estrogens including 2MEO), adrenal hormones and metabolites (cortisol/cortisone and aldosterone), Estrogen Quotient, DHEA, testosterone, androgen metabolites, potassium, sodium, free T3, free T4, growth hormone, melatonin, 24-hr creatinine, Kynurenic and Xanthurenic.
This is the only test in the US that we know of at this time that tests for oxytocin. Oxytocin signaling robustly influences appetite control, weight loss, metabolic syndrome, pain relief (body/mind), as well as decreases local inflammation, promotes crypt healing and affects motility in the gut.
