Description
The Rhythm Profile is a salivary hormone test designed to evaluate hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle, providing a dynamic view of estrogen and progesterone patterns.
Unlike single-point hormone tests, Rhythm measures hormones at multiple time points, allowing visualization of cycle phases including follicular, ovulatory, and luteal stages.
👉 As shown in the report, the test maps estradiol, progesterone, and P/E2 ratio across multiple cycle days, offering a clear hormonal rhythm pattern
🔬 What This Test Measures
1. Estrogen (Estradiol – E2)
- Measured across multiple cycle days
👉 Tracks estrogen rise and ovulation peak
2. Progesterone
- Measured throughout luteal phase
👉 Evaluates ovulation quality and luteal sufficiency
3. Progesterone / Estrogen Ratio (P/E2)
👉 Helps assess hormonal balance and estrogen dominance
4. Testosterone
- Free testosterone
👉 Evaluates androgen contribution to hormonal health
🧠 Clinical Insights
- Confirms ovulation timing
- Evaluates luteal phase adequacy
- Identifies estrogen dominance
- Detects cycle irregularities
👤 Who Should Consider This Test
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Fertility concerns
- PMS symptoms
- Hormonal imbalance in reproductive-age women
⚠️ Limitations
- ❌ No cortisol or stress hormone analysis
- ❌ No melatonin or sleep assessment
