Canary Club is a health advocacy group created to help you take charge of your own health. For over a decade, we have been inspired by our mission to make at-home hormone lab tests accessible to all and to provide important health information that improves lives. We are committed to providing the highest quality,at-home thyroid, adrenal, sex hormone, and neurotransmitters lab testing at the lowest prices available anywhere.
Together we are shifting health care into the hands of the individual. Join us!
In today's fast-paced world, it's no secret that many of us lead lives filled with constant challenges and stressors, from demanding careers to personal responsibilities that seem never-ending.
Yet, what often goes unnoticed is the remarkable internal mechanism that helps us cope with the pressures of our daily existence.
Many of us know those individuals who can effortlessly wake up without the need for an alarm clock. The moment their eyes open, they're up and about, ready to take on the day with enthusiasm and energy.
We often find ourselves envious of these early risers who appear to achieve what we struggle with. The secret to their wakefulness lies in a well-balanced endocrine system. For approximately 75% of the population, cortisol levels increase by about 50% at the right moment, effectively rousing them from slumber and motivating them to start their day.
However, not all of us are fortunate enough to experience such seamless awakenings. Despite going to bed at the same time every night, some individuals continue to face the daily struggle of getting out of bed in the morning.
Cortisol is often referred to as the "stress hormone," but it plays a vital role in our daily circadian rhythm, which includes waking up in the morning.
When it comes to male hormones, testosterone often takes the spotlight as the ultimate symbol of masculinity, but it's just one piece of the puzzle. Understanding the power of all male hormones helps us embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
In today's world, we have access to an incredible array of modern technology and conveniences that make our lives easier and more enjoyable.
However, it's important to remember that many of the products we use on a daily basis can contain harmful substances that may negatively impact our thyroid health. Additionally, our diets consist of fast and processed foods, which may not provide us with the essential nutrients necessary to maintain good health.
"What if your situation is not an abnormal medical problem, but simply borderline gland function?
You can take charge of your hormonal balance and learn to restore and revive your hormones."
- Dr. Richard Shames
Medical Advisor and Hormone Health Expert
Hormone imbalance can have a severe impact on your health, and yet, it often goes undiagnosed.
You visit specialist after specialist only to be told nothing is wrong. We understand that feeling of frustration and helplessness.
Our modern fast-paced lifestyle means we have less time and reserves to recuperate, whilst simultaneously being exposed to an unprecedented array of endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
Chronic fatigue, adrenal burnout, foggy thinking, fertility issues, inability to lose weight despite exercise and a healthy diet... there are hundreds of symptoms of low or high production of the thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones.
Canary Club’s at-home saliva and blood spot test kits detect specific hormone imbalances that traditional testing ignores, including TSH, TPO, free T3, and free T4 of the thyroid gland, cortisol and DHEA of the adrenals, and testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone of the reproductive organs. Hormone Imbalance Tests - order lab tests online, DIY at home.
Now you can start to get the answers you need, directly through our at-home thyroid, hormone, and neurotransmitter testing.
Order lab tests online, in the privacy of your home, and see the easy-to-read results for yourself!
"The Advanced Plus test has changed my life, literally. Thank you Canary Club! I hope you know the importance of what you do and I am a true example of that. I’ll forever be grateful." – Jennifer
Canary Club is a health advocacy group created to help you take charge of your own health care.
Health issues related to hormone imbalance are reaching epidemic proportions and are often not being adequately addressed. We believe that you need to know what is impacting your hormone health, and saliva and blood-spot diagnostic tests have proven themselves to be an accurate assessment.
A founding principle of Canary Club is that these diagnostic tests need to be accessible to you, at home, without the added cost or inconvenience of an office visit. To be accessible, they need to be affordable. We set our prices to the minimum level allowed by the labs we use.
For over a decade, Canary Club has been a major voice in the growing social awareness movement grappling to understand hormone levels and their impact on one's health.
We are here to educate, support and empower people, in creating a Hormone Healthy Lifestyle. JOIN US!
Born and raised in NYC, Lynn has been involved with social issues including non-profit fundraising, transformational education, women's issues and personal growth for many years. She has trained in business and management and used her skills in a wide variety of fields. As an accredited Life Coach, Lynn was acutely aware of the effect health and wellbeing had on a client’s productivity and satisfaction with life.
With the current state of our environment, skyrocketing health care costs and medical professionals who are overwhelmed and lack resources, Lynn saw a great need for education as well as affordable home testing and products for those with hormonal imbalance and environmentally caused health issues. She noticed that it was often difficult to receive accurate diagnosis and support of ailments that were clearly debilitating, in a health system that was expensive and too often unresponsive to those who ‘just were not feeling well’. It is from this reality that the Canary Club was born.

You are awesome because you give a discount to the many of us who have been suffering for years with hypothyroidism, and gone undiagnosed, having to get endless labs. You give us a break because you understand how hard it is to treat this type of disease when you are dependent on a doctor to fix you. You allow, and support, the patient to take control of her own recovery, empowering the individual. And for that, you rock!

It is evident to me that Canary Club is dedicated to improving people's lives. The wealth of info and articles is wonderful and, as someone who has found it hard to get answers from doctors, I'm excited to have such a great resource at my fingertips! I am touched by Canary Club's mission and thankful for their services. I now have hope that I can get the answers I need to truly take charge of my healing. Thank you!
- E.F.
I have been feeling "off" - just generally unwell for about eighteen months. I tried a bit of this and a bit of that - but nothing seemed to help. I don't have health insurance, so the cost of doctors, consultation, testing and treatments was a real concern to me.
A friend recommended I try you just to find out if it was my hormones causing this malady, as I suspected. She said just knowing what was causing this feeling lousy could help; so I registered and ordered a test.
It was sooo easy. Thank you so much for making it easy - I can't do anything hard right now, my brain just won't allow it. The tests arrived quickly and were super easy to use. Again, the easy factor and with it my gratitude. Thank you so much for the great, clear, easy-to-follow instructions.
When the results arrived I was relieved to know my hormones weren't as out of whack as I had suspected. Thank goodness. I have been taking natural supplements and I am actually starting to feel better.
I must say though, my friend was right, just knowing my hormones were out of whack (but not too dramatically out) really gave me peace of mind. They say the mind has a lot to do with healing - I believe it and I am sure the supplements help a lot too.
Thank you so much Canary Club. You provide a great service.
- J. Curtis
I'm delighted with the number of tests per panel and the very reasonable price. I've researched a number of places and Canary Club has by far the best price and the greatest number of tests per panel.
What a wonderful thing you've done for women's health by starting this club. It's especially helpful for those of us who live in CA to be able to order tests without having to first get a dr's prescription. I belong to Kaiser and of course they only order 'run of the mill' tests and even if you're found to be hormone deficient they trot out the synthetics.
Many thanks to you again. I do appreciate the tests available and the prices.
- June

Thank you Canary Club! The Advanced Plus test has changed my life, literally. I've been suffering for so long to the point of not being able to work but a few hours a week. Constant anxiety, fatigue, depression, heart palpitations... I could go on and on. Seeing my cortisol and hormone tests has now given my doctor what they need to help me. I never sleep, I wake up in panic with seat or freezing every 30-45 minutes. Cortisol spikes and feeling like I don't want to live. Now I have hope and it's all because of your test. Just a few suggested changes from others have helped in just the last few days. Thank you all so much for your help and I hope you a know the importance of what you do and I am a true example of that.

FEELING FAT, FUZZY OR FRAZZLED? by Drs. Richard and Karilee Shames
From Fatigued to Fantastic! by Jacob Teitelbaum
Womens Moods: What Every Woman Must Know About Hormones, the Brain and Emotional Health by Sichel Driscoll
There are also other related books to read in order to become knowledgeable about laboratory testing.
I understand that I may need professional help to fully interpret and understand my test results, and may seek support from either Dr. Richard Shames via his telephone coaching services or another licensed health professional familiar with saliva and blood spot testing for hormones.
I understand that medical standard testing for hormones most frequently consists of blood draws and that saliva testing is still considered experimental by medical standards.
I understand that ZRT Lab and Labrix are only two of many labs; there are many other good laboratories. I have compared the various labs and now choose ZRT for my hormone testing, knowing that this is cutting-edge technology not generally utilized yet in standard medical practice. I will consult with my practitioners for support and future planning of my health program.

Canary Club is a health advocacy group created to help you take charge of your own health care.
Health issues related to hormone imbalance are reaching epidemic proportions and are often not being adequately addressed. We believe that you need to know what is impacting your hormone health, and saliva and blood-spot diagnostic tests have proven themselves to be an accurate assessment.
A founding principle of Canary Club is that these diagnostic tests need to be accessible to you, at home, without the added cost or inconvenience of an office visit. To be accessible, they need to be affordable. We set our prices to the minimum level allowed by the labs we use.
For over a decade, Canary Club has been a major voice in the growing social awareness movement grappling to understand hormone levels and their impact on one's health.
We are here to educate, support and empower people, in creating a Hormone Healthy Lifestyle. JOIN US!
Born and raised in NYC, Lynn has been involved with social issues including non-profit fundraising, transformational education, women's issues and personal growth for many years. She has trained in business and management and used her skills in a wide variety of fields. As an accredited Life Coach, Lynn was acutely aware of the effect health and wellbeing had on a client’s productivity and satisfaction with life.
With the current state of our environment, skyrocketing health care costs and medical professionals who are overwhelmed and lack resources, Lynn saw a great need for education as well as affordable home testing and products for those with hormonal imbalance and environmentally caused health issues. She noticed that it was often difficult to receive accurate diagnosis and support of ailments that were clearly debilitating, in a health system that was expensive and too often unresponsive to those who ‘just were not feeling well’. It is from this reality that the Canary Club was born.
Promoting Holistic Healing Through Education and Leadership

She is presently in private practice in collaboration with Dr. Richard Shames at the Preventive Medicine Center of Marin in San Rafael, California, and is working on her next book.
After 33 years as a health care provider, treating thousands of patients, I have come to believe that:
The ToxinClear Health Network, founded by Vicki Latham P.A.-C. in 2007, is a growing movement of people who are learning how to enhance their physical, mental, and emotional health; to live joyfully, free of toxins; in tune with nature; creating a sustainable future.
Vicki Latham, PA-C. is a board certified Physician Assistant with 31 years experience as a licensed Medical Practitioner, specializing in Woman’s Health. She received her certification as a Childbirth Educator in 1978, and began working as a licensed New Mexico Midwife, from 1980-1990. At the Las Cruces Birthing Center she delivered over 500 babies. She graduated from the OU Health Science Center in 1992, and as a Physician Assistant has worked in adult medicine, OB/GYN, emergency services, and was the Women’s Health Practitioner for a major university from 2000-2009. Since that time, Vicki has been working for an internal medicine/family practice in Stillwater, OK.
ToxinClear was founded from Vicki’s passion to educate people with creative solutions for convenient, safe, and effective personal detoxification options. She has been interviewed on public radio, national/international webinars, written numerous magazine articles, and she travels across the U.S. as a public speaker on how our water, air, soil, and food are being affected by toxins on a global scale.
Vicki Latham, P.A.-C, believes that our children are the most vulnerable, the “canary in the coal mine” of our environment…and they have been chirping loudly for quite some time, showing an unprecedented increase in childhood cancers, asthma, behavioral issues, autism, hormonal imbalances, diabetes, and obesity. These conditions all have a direct, documented link to pesticides, heavy metals, industrial chemicals and other toxic exposures while in utero, and early childhood.
“If newborns are toxic, what chance do we adults have of being pristine?” she asks. Understanding that we can detoxify our bodies daily with effective options that are easy, simple and inexpensive to do…this is the purpose for the ToxinClear movement.
Personally, Vicki now lives in the Denver Metro area, is the mother of 4, the grandmother of 8. She began her working career as a professional ballet dancer in NYC, and was a dance and exercise instructor for 14 years. She still takes dance classes weekly, as her exercise of choice.
Vicki’s energy and passion is contagious, as those who hear her message, and catch her vision, are inspired to re-consider their lifestyle, and begin making more positive, impactful choices. Her desire is not to alarm, but to provide HOPE for a better, healthier future, for all of us. Now, and for the generations yet to come.
