Comprehensive Hormone Imbalance Testing & Diagnostics
Beyond the "Normal" Range
If you're a North Carolina resident who has been told your labs are "normal" but you still feel terrible, you've experienced the biggest flaw in the conventional medical approach. Hormonal Imbalance Testing is not just about measuring levels, it's about interpreting the data through the lens of optimal health.
My practice is built on a fundamental truth: You cannot achieve Hormone Harmony with incomplete data. Men and women throughout North Carolina deserve comprehensive, targeted testing that goes far beyond a basic thyroid or testosterone screen.
Why Standard Testing Fails North Carolina Patients (And What We Do Instead)
Traditional testing often relies on a single morning blood draw and only measures a few hormones, insufficient for capturing the complex reality of your endocrine system.
The Critical Components We Measure for North Carolina Patients
- Sex Hormones (Estrogen, Progesterone, Total & Free Testosterone): Not just the total amount, but Free Testosterone, the bioavailable fraction that drives energy, muscle tone, and libido.
- Adrenal Hormones (Cortisol, DHEA): We map the Cortisol Awakening Response throughout the day. A single morning blood test misses the critical daily rhythm of this stress hormone.
- Thyroid Hormones (TSH, Free T4, Free T3, TPO Antibodies): We move beyond the basic TSH test to evaluate the active hormone (Free T3) and check for autoimmune markers that indicate conditions like Hashimoto's.
- Metabolic Markers: Vitamin D, Hemoglobin A1c, and insulin to assess inflammation and metabolic health.
The Power of Advanced Testing Methods
- Blood Serum Testing (Venous): Excellent for measuring total hormone levels, SHBG, and pituitary hormones (FSH, LH). Also used to monitor North Carolina patients on pellet therapy.
- Saliva Testing: Superior for measuring the free, bioavailable fraction of hormones. Ideal for tracking the crucial diurnal rhythm of Cortisol throughout the day.
- Dried Urine Testing (e.g., DUTCH): The most comprehensive view of Hormone Metabolites, key for understanding how your body is using and detoxifying hormones, vital for assessing estrogen clearance pathways.
The Terri DeNeui Method: Personalized Treatment for North Carolina Patients
- For Women in North Carolina (Perimenopause/Menopause): We track subtle shifts in Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone, looking at metabolites to ensure healthy estrogen clearance.
- For Men in North Carolina (Andropause/Low T): We specifically focus on optimizing Free Testosterone and managing the conversion of Testosterone to Estrogen.
We don't just test once. We re-test 6–8 weeks after initiating the EvexiPEL Method to fine-tune dosing based on your unique metabolism. Are you a North Carolina resident ready to stop guessing and start measuring the path to your optimal health?
