<![CDATA[Hormonal Diagnostics]]>Again, review the site Disclaimer. I’m not a doctor. I’m not an endocrinologist. I’d love to walk you through the importance of all the following hormones, but google and wikipedia will serve you much better than I ever could here re-writing entire volumes of endocrine literature.

The following list is what I’ve been told to get tested by leaders in the field who have looked at me for PSSD.

These are blood tests. In the United States I used a service called Direct Labs. It doesn’t work in all states, but you order the tests you want, go to a clinic, get your blood drawn, and then get your results in under a week. The list I’m giving you will cost around $900 and it takes a lot of blood. Stay hydrated and relaxed before your visit with mediation or deep breathing.

(I’m using the names from direct labs, but they may be slightly different for other testing services – especially in other countries/languages.
