Prevent Breast Cancer With Saliva Hormone Testing

Breast health is influenced by many factors, but the main ones are:

Estrogen Dominance

Vitamin D Deficiency

Iodine Insufficiency

Low levels of progesterone can sometimes cause breast tenderness in women. Estrogen Dominance is a common occurrence and manifests when there is too much estrogen in the body in comparison to progesterone. Peri-menopause is the term for the years leading up to menopause, which can begin as early as age 40. Progesterone levels drop quite sharply during peri-menopause while estrogen levels can often stay high.

Estrogen Dominance is more likely to occur in peri-menopausal and post menopausal women. High levels of estrogen, especially Estrone and Estradiol can be detrimental to breast tissue.

Long Term Estrogen Dominance is a significant risk factor for Breast Cancer which is why it is so important to prevent Breast Cancer with Saliva Hormone Testing.

Vitamin D, a powerful antioxidant hormone, and the mineral Iodine play key roles in maintaining healthy breast tissue. If these nutrients and hormones are out of balance you may have an increased risk for breast health issues. While exams are a vital part of overall breast care, keeping your breasts healthy involves keeping hormones balanced and tissues healthy. As we age, our production of sex hormones changes naturally. However, with proper monitoring and treatment, these changes do not have to have a negative effect on your body.

Since many women realize the importance of breast exams, thermography or mammograms (if you chose) to check for abnormal cells, it is equally important to test your hormone levels to identify possible risk factors for Breast Cancer.

Hormone balance plays an important role in maintaining healthy breasts. The hormones progesterone and estrogen both impact breast tissue. Estrogen is important for cell growth and breast development. Progesterone is a protective hormone and will help slow tissue growth. When Estrogen and Progesterone are in balance, breast tissue is likely to be healthy.

When out of balance symptoms often appear.

Breast Pain

Cysts or Lumps

Fibrocycstic Changes

Breast Tenderness

Change in Breast Size

Nipple Discharge

Get tested! Because of the complexity of the endocrine system, issues rarely stem from one hormone alone. To evaluate your hormone function, ask your health care provider for your Comprehensive Plus Panel saliva kit. They may also recommend Vitamin D and Iodine levels as these are important markers and need to be monitored on a regular basis. The Comprehensive Plus Panel will test the following hormones:

Estrone

Estradiol

Estriol

Progesterone

Testosterone

DHEA

Cortisol Four times during the day
