Cortisol balance:
belly fat, increased appetite, sugar cravings, impaired thyroid and metabolism
Vitamin D3 deficiency:
hyperinsulinemia, belly (visceral) fat storage
Estrogen/ Progesterone:
weight gain in hips and thighs, water retention, low thyroid, sluggish metabolism
Testosterone/ DHEA:
insulin resistance/ metabolic syndrome, abdominal obesity
TSH elevated:
hypothyroidism, low metabolic rate, difficulty in losing weight
Fasting insulin elevated:
decreased lean muscle/ increased body fat, decreased metabolic rate, abdominal obesity
HbA1c elevated:
predictive of type 2 diabetes
HK BioTek Technology Competence
• Sample will be sent to ZRT Laboratory in the United States for analysis, which is the only specialty hormone laboratory to have qualified for the CDC’s Hormone Standardization Program (HoSt).
• All hormone test are analysed with reference ranges for individual patient ages, menstrual status, and hormone supplementation.
• ZRT is the only laboratory to perform an extraction process for saliva testing, which separates hormones from background contamination. This ensures accurate test results for low-concentration hormones
