If you’ve been confused about hormone testing - this week’s show is here to help. @drleahhechtman PhD, takes us through hormone testing options for age, stage and situation, as well as things that impact the accuracy of a test. We cover: Saliva, Urine and Blood testing - when which one or all are helpful and for whom. What reference ranges are based on - and most of us aren’t IT 😳Pill effects at puberty & perimenopause (without shaming!) The constraints with the medicare model for test ordering and clinical significance, ie, a lot can be done before a crisis occurs that requires a medication. How urine testing can be your best guide when considering HRTHistamine and run-away estrogen - there’s usually a 3rd party reason beyond hormones that this pathway is activated. How progesterone is the good, reliable friend that keeps estrogen from too many wild parties! What you can achieve without spending any $$$ exploring your hormone health, up to the breadth of what one can do if you wanted to. How’s that for ground covered!? Dr Leah Hechtman (PhD) is a globally respected naturopathic clinician, a revered lecturer and a sought-after keynote speaker who is widely recognised for her expertise, receiving numerous referrals from specialists and fertility clinics on a global scale.
