In this episode, I dive into why hormone testing isn't the best approach during perimenopause. With hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone fluctuating so much, tests like the Dutch hormone test can be misleading and expensive.

I also touch on the role of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and when testing might actually be useful for ensuring its effectiveness. My goal is to help you better understand the complexities of hormone balance during this phase.   In this episode: Understand why hormone testing during perimenopause can be misleading Recognize the fluctuation of estrogen and its impact on symptoms Learn how progesterone levels can vary due to stop-start ovulation Discover why symptoms are a more accurate gauge than hormone testing Identify the right time for testing hormones and how it relates to hormone replacement therapy   LISTEN TO EPISODE 91: Debunking common arguments for needing to run the DUTCH test   Mentioned in this episode: HERBATONIN – Save 15% when you use Tara's code: Tara15   ZINZINO – If you're interested in trying out the ZINZINO fish oil I recommend in this episode, please email me.
