How do we go about getting saliva tests?

I was all geared up to order online through Genova diagnostics but now I see I have to have a practitioner, I dont have one and can't find one but wanted to get it done myself and am getting nowhere now. I want to do cortisol and progesterone.

You can put ThyroidUK down as your practitioner, you don’t need a doctor

Not sure, I ordered mine by phone. If you go the main ThyroidUK website, re private testing, it might tell you there

I rang up a couple of days ago and ordered mine over the phone. Just ask the person on the other end to use thyroid uk as your practitioner. It was easy, arrived a couple of days later. You send payment with the samples.
