Lab tests
Naturopathic doctors have foundational training and then others go on to get more in depth training that involves more in depth labs. Some believe the labs won't change the treatment and so want to save the patient money. Others may utilize the information to did deeper into what may be happened. I am an absolute proponent of hormone testing and being sure that the hormones are balanced properly. If the hormones are not balanced, you can have many different types of symptoms from fatigue, hot flashes, low libido, erectile dysfunction, etc. Hope this helps. READ MORE
