Saliva Testing

Saliva Testing in NYC

Introduction: Why Saliva Testing Deserves a Functional Approach

Your hormones don’t lie—but blood tests often miss the full story. Saliva testing offers a more accurate window into your real-time hormone fluctuations throughout the day. At Patients Medical in NYC, we use non-invasive saliva diagnostics to assess adrenal fatigue, stress patterns, estrogen dominance, progesterone deficiency, thyroid imbalance, and more. Our integrative approach helps decode what’s sabotaging your mood, metabolism, sleep, and vitality—so we can treat the root cause, not just your symptoms.

Saliva hormone testing measures bioavailable hormones—the free, active forms that interact with your cells. It’s ideal for evaluating hormonal health because it shows:

Real Case Study: Linda’s Hormone Comeback

Linda, age 44, came to us with anxiety, insomnia, and sudden weight gain. Traditional labs showed “normal” hormones. Her saliva test revealed flat cortisol, low progesterone, and estrogen dominance. We implemented:

  • Morning adrenal support and evening cortisol calming herbs
  • Natural progesterone cream
  • Liver and gut detox to clear excess estrogen
  • Sleep support protocol

In 10 weeks, Linda lost 12 pounds, slept through the night, and felt calm and focused again. Saliva testing was the breakthrough she needed.
