How We Determine Hormone Imbalance
Cornerstone Pharmacy & Compounding uses saliva testing to determine if your hormones are imbalanced. In the body, almost all hormones circulating in the bloodstream are bound to carrier proteins, which makes them more difficult to measure – which is why we use saliva testing methods.
Unlike blood-based tests, saliva diagnostics can measure the amount of free, unbound hormones that are available to act in the body.
Salivary concentrations represent the hormone levels that are most likely to impact the body. By measuring these levels, we can determine which hormones are present in excess and where there may be a deficiency.
Request a Saliva Test
Take the first step to hormone balance by requesting a saliva test kit and a hormone consultation. Saliva tests for hormone levels are non-invasive and stress-free. You will simply spit into a sterile test tube which is then sent to a lab for analysis.
Our team at Cornerstone Pharmacy & Compounding must have the results of your hormone test to determine which personalized treatment plan is best for you. We will review your results with you during your initial consultation. You may pick up a kit in-store or we can mail it to you. Below are our listed prices for test kits and hormone consultations.

How We Treat Hormone Imbalance
At Cornerstone Pharmacy & Compounding, you can expect an unparalleled customer service experience. When you visit our specialists for a hormone consultation, we sit down for a one-on-one meeting to discuss your saliva test results as well as your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, health goals and more.
Our hormone specialists listen closely, ask questions and take the time to understand what you are experiencing. We encourage you to write down your symptoms and questions before your consultation, so we can be as thorough as possible. We want you to be confident about your personalized care plan.
Depending on the results of your test, our team may recommend supplements to stimulate hormone production instead of or in addition to a bioidentical hormone replacement therapy plan. These supplements provide valuable precursors for hormone production, which may be enough to ease your symptoms. Our team only recommends highly trusted supplement brands, as supplements are not regulated by the FDA.

Beginning Bioidentical
Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
If it’s determined that BHRT is a good fit for you, we will begin to put a treatment plan together. There are many different ways to administer BHRT, including capsules, patches, creams, suppositories, dissolvable tablets and others. We will choose the best fit for you depending on your symptoms and preferred administration methods.
Obtaining a Prescription
After a treatment plan is created, our hormone specialists will work directly with your primary care physician or we can refer you to a reputable, local physician who will be able to help you obtain a BHRT prescription.
It’s very important that communication and knowledge are shared between the pharmacist-physician-patient triad to maximize your quality and continuity of care.
BHRT Monitoring and Check-Ups
Ongoing hormone level monitoring is necessary to ensure you are getting the right doses of bioidentical hormones that your body needs to remain balanced.
During follow-up appointments, we will check in with you about your symptoms, if any new symptoms have arisen and, if necessary, order another saliva test.
If your hormone levels have stabilized in the first year, then we will schedule follow-up appointments yearly until you are ready to stop taking BHRT or if you have a health concern arise.
