Rhythm is a comprehensive assessment of the female hormones, oestradiol, progesterone and testosterone spanning a full cycle period. Imbalances revealed in this profile can help illuminate root causes of disorders such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), infertility, and menstrual irregularities.
Balance is the key. Research has long shown that fluctuating levels of oestogen, progesterone and testosterone play a major role in a woman’s overall health, effecting
- Menstrual Cycle
- Appetite Level
- Mood Swings
- Sex Drive
- Sleep Patterns
Imbalances of these hormones are associated with disorders such as
- PMS
- Breast Cancer
- Anovulation
- Endometriosis
- Infertility
- Polycystic Ovary Disease
- Amenorrhea
- Osteoporosis
Rhythm Plus
