Do these sound familiar?

    1. 28-Day Comprehensive Analysis
      Unlike traditional hormone tests, Rhythm Plus tracks estradiol and progesterone levels throughout the entire menstrual cycle, offering a complete view of hormonal patterns and fluctuations.
    2. Precise, Multi-Sample Measurement
      Utilizing 11 saliva samples over the month, the test maps the balance between estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, providing a detailed graph for easy interpretation of hormone levels and ratios.
    3. Bioavailable Hormone Assessment
      a. Saliva sampling measures the free, unbound fraction of hormones, which reflects their biologically active state. This approach ensures accurate results, unaffected by factors such as obesity or thyroid dysfunction that can alter binding proteins in the blood.
    4. Holistic Hormonal Overview
      a. Beyond reproductive hormones, the test includes the Adrenocortex Stress Profile and the Comprehensive Melatonin Profile, offering insights into the interactions between cortisol, DHEA, melatonin, and sex hormones, crucial for managing stress and sleep patterns.

Benefits of the Rhythm Plus™ Test

  1. Personalized Treatment
    a. The detailed hormonal analysis helps identify patterns such as luteal phase defects or high follicular progesterone, enabling providers to develop customized treatment plans for conditions like PMS, infertility, or chronic gynecologic disorders.
  2. Patient Empowerment through Education
    a. A clear graph of hormone levels allows patients to visualize and understand their hormonal fluctuations, fostering a deeper connection between symptoms and root causes.
  3. Clarity in Women’s Health
    a. In a landscape where women’s health concerns can often be overlooked or
    misunderstood, the Rhythm Plus™ test provides the necessary insights to
    address hormonal imbalances that impact well-being and vitality.
