Anyone done Hormone balance test?
Hey, the more I read about hormones such as testosterone the more I realise how deeply low-levels are connected to not feeling well. Where I am from, for some reason which I do not know, hormone test are not even considered when someone is feeling very down and has a lot of anxiety. It seems like the protocol for taking care of people is psychiatric help/therapy and then medicine. They don't even bother considering the balance of hormones. There is also the stress hormone Adrenocorticotropic that tells your adrenal glands to produce cortisol. It seems to me that the levels of those hormones should be checked. Anyone got theirs checked without having to explicitly ask for it?
I am going to try appointing a test to find out my values and see if there might be an unbalance. Anyone else had this done? If not I recommend it and ask for your result values on paper. I don't trust doctors "Your levels are fine", some of them tell that to people whose levels are just on negative edge or slightly below.
Take care
