4 Crucial Things Your Saliva Can Tell You About Your Hormones.

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/saliva

If you want to know if you have a hormonal imbalance, test your hormones, or fix your hormones, you'll definitely want to tune into this episode!

Let's start here: I get tons of questions from listeners "Down Under" about where to get things like blood, gut and hormone testing done.

After a bunch of searching and talking to a some of my trusted Australian friends, I discovered Dr. Michael Smith from PlanetNaturopath.com.

Dr. Smith is a Naturopath and Kalish Method Functional Medicine Practitioner who specializes in hormonal disorders, adrenal, thyroid and digestive function. He works with clients from the chronically ill to athletes wanting to improve performance and does consultations face-to-face in Australia, and also via Skype or phone.

During our discussion, you'll find out:

-What exactly a Kalish practitioner...

-The 4 different hormone imbalances in seemingly healthy people...

-Why having normal progesterone could not be enough if your cortisol is also high...

-Why you don't have to be the stereotypical "fat" woman to have estrogen excess...

-How low estrogen can be just as big a problem as high estrogen, and what type of soy products you should be eating for low estrogen...

-Why you can have normal hormone levels for most hormones, but low DHEA...

-When high testosterone can be an problem...

Resources Michael and I discuss in this episode:

-KalishInstitute.com

-Michael's website PlanetNaturopath.com - mention this podcast episode and you get $50 off a "Hormone Package", which includes a one hour consult, an adrenal test and saliva sex hormone test.

-Progesterone drops for increasing progesterone.

-Mountain Rose Herbs - (look for Vitex or Chastetree for increasing progesterone).

-Calcium d-glucarate for estrogen excess.

-Curcumin, transdermal magnesium and adaptogenic herbs like TianChi.

-Peony, licorice and inositol for high testosterone.
