Is Blood Work or Saliva Testing Really Necessary to Evaluate my Hormone Levels?
Many women have been misled into believing that these tests are absolutely necessary when in fact they are not. Blood analysis is often inaccurate when determining true hormone levels because most of your hormones are bound to proteins and unavailable for use by the body. Therefore, your test may indicate that your levels are normal when in fact your “available” hormones are way below normal. You should learn to recognize and rely on what your body is telling you through your symptoms for proper and most successful long-term balancing of your hormones.
