BodyLogicMD’s Hormone Therapy Blog

BodyLogicMD, America’s largest and fastest-growing network of highly trained physicians specializing in bioidentical hormones, fitness and nutrition, recently announced their new and improved Hormone Balance Test!

The all-new online questionnaire is a great way for men and women to determine whether or not the symptoms they’re experiencing may possibly translate into a hormonal imbalance such as perimenopause, menopause, andropause (the male menopause), thyroid disorder and/or stress-induced adrenal fatigue.

The Hormone Balance Test isn’t replacing standardized comprehensive testing such as saliva and blood work-ups. Instead it serves as a precursor to the diagnostic screening that is used to determine diagnosis and later treatment if indeed necessary. Now men and women have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of what’s going on inside their bodies and more importantly why it’s happening.

The interactive quiz calculates the users results and ranks their severity of symptoms by either mild, moderate or severe. The Hormone Balance Test also provides insight as to how hormonal fluctuations in the body translate to the symptoms that you’re experiencing. The assessment is broken down into a male and a female portion, specifically tailored for each gender.

Here’s a few questions from the Hormone Balance Test that may help you determine if a hormonal imbalance is to blame:

Women:

• Question: Have you gained weight, especially in your abdomen, hips, buttocks or thighs?

Hormones and weight gain are closely related, if your hormones are not balanced, you can gain weight, especially with too much cortisol or too little progesterone, testosterone or estrogen. The average weight gain is gradual, about 10-15 lbs starting in perimenopause and then averaging about a pound or two a year. However, women who experience early menopause as a result of a surgical menopause (hysterectomy) tend to gain weight at an even more accelerated pace.

Men:

• Question: Have you lost interest in sex?

Low libido in men or low sex drive is a common symptom of andropause. Low testosterone levels common in andropause result in reduced levels of the hormone available to stimulate the nerves in the brain and induce sexual desire and in turn erectile dysfunction. Essentially, without adequate testosterone, low sex drive in men is common.
