Hair and Saliva Testing


Passionate Health utilizes four very significant testing procedures using home kits that are available for your use.  These tests are recommended on an individual need basis and are not included in the consultation fees.


About Saliva Hormone Testing:

Saliva testing is an extremely reliable method for measuring hormone activity in the body which identifies free, “bio-available” hormones at work on a cellular level.  Most blood tests do not measure bio-available hormone levels.  Saliva hormone tests are significantly more accurate than blood or urine tests in reflecting the tissue uptake and response of hormones delivered through topical application to the skin.  Blood and urine testing can greatly underestimate hormones delivered through the skin, which often leads to overdosing.  The test is painless and the saliva sample can easily be collected in the comfort of your home.

Saliva Tests Available:

Estradiol
Estriol
Estrone
Progesterone
Testosterone
DHEA-S
Androstenedione
Cortisol (Adrenal Function)

About Dried Blood Spot Testing:
Dried Blood Spot Testing is a very simple procedure and is nearly painless using a single finger prick. If you have ever observed a newborn receive the PKU test, then you have witnessed Blood Spot Testing. Blood Spot Testing has been utilized since the 1960’s for screening programs involving large populations.  The scientific literature shows equal accuracy for most analyses measured in Blood Serum Tests as well as Blood Spot Tests.  One of the many special advantages to Blood Spot Testing is that it can identify hormone imbalances related to specific symptoms.

Blood Spot Tests Available:

Vitamin D
fT-3
fT-4
TSH
TPO
FSH
LH
PSA
SHBG
IGF-1
Insulin
Cardio Metabolic Profile (insulin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, hemoglobin, and triglycerides)

About Hair Mineral Analysis Testing:
Your hair actually contains all the minerals and heavy metals that are present in your body.  In the majority of cases, your hair also reflects the level of these elements present in your tissues.  The results from your hair mineral analysis will provide a valuable picture of your internal environment.  From this profile, a host of metabolic events can be interpreted.  Your nutritional status can then be viewed graphically and we can see the efficiency of your body’s function.  You will receive an in depth report which will include dietary and supplemental recommendations.

About pH Testing:
The pH balance of your body is crucial to your health just as pH balance is crucial to the safety of your Jacuzzi, spa or swimming pool.  When it is out of balance, the body’s ability to absorb certain nutrients can be greatly impaired and the internal environment can become vulnerable to a number of symptoms and health issues.  The tests are very simply done at home or while traveling by dipping separate pH strips into urine and saliva on a weekly basis.  Simple instructions are provided and the test is encouraged as a regular part of good health maintenance.  Just as with a pool or spa, correction is accomplished by adding or subtracting something!  Dietary or supplement changes will be taught so that you will be able to manage and maintain the proper levels on your own.  The test kit includes strips, pH chart, and instructions.
