Age Diagnostic Laboratories - Preferred Partner of BodyLogicMD

After a patient meets with a BodyLogicMD physician to discuss their symptoms and medical history, they are directed to a laboratory to determine their current hormone levels.

As a lab dedicated to anti-aging pathology, Age Diagnostic Laboratories (ADL) is a perfect fit for BodyLogicMD patients. They offer urine, saliva, and recently added genomic testing, all which are non-invasive and take moments of time. As the first laboratory to offer urine and saliva testing, ADL is continuously on the front line of new technologies and committed to providing reliable, accurate and timely pathology services.

Saliva Testing

In dozens of studies, saliva has been shown to be a reliable agent to assess hormone levels. A patient simply fills the tubes with saliva and returns the contents to ADL. Saliva is a reliable indicator of the body’s absorption of topical hormones, so if a patient supplements with creams, gels or patch hormones, tested levels that show up in saliva will more closely match their symptoms.

Saliva Testing Benefits:

• Less expensive than testing blood or urine
• Does not require needles/venipuncture nor visits to the doctor or to the lab
• Faster turnaround time than urine tests
• Proven accurate
• Widely used for most steroid hormones

Urine Testing

An alternate option for hormone testing is through urine samples. Since urine is a filtrate from the blood, it accurately represents what is in the body and can indicate the effects of hormones on the body. Consequently, urine testing provides much more information than any other hormone testing methodology.

Urine Testing Benefits:

• The most accurate representation of hormonal activity
• High patient compliance
• More economical than blood tests
• Represents a sample collected over a longer period of time
