5 | How Can I Check My Hormone Levels Myself in Perimenopause or Menopause?


Listen Later

Hey friend,

In today’s episode I’m going to answer a question I get asked all the time: Should you bother getting your hormone levels checked and is there a way to check your hormone levels yourself?

Understanding what’s going on with your hormones and what imbalance (or imbalances) you may have is the crucial first step in solving your hormonal puzzle and feeling like you again.

And it’s really a non-negotiable because if you don’t do anything about your hormone symptoms: 1.) They’re not going to go away by themselves, and 2.) They're not going to get any better. (In fact, not to be an alarmist or anything, but they’re probably going to get worse!)

In this episode you will learn:

    - The 4 types of hormone level tests 

     - The problem with hormone levels in blood tests

     - What’s a hormone saliva test and what hormones does it test?

     - The difference between a hormone urine test and a DUTCH test for hormones

     - Hormone Synptom Profiling and hormone fluctuations

     - What method I chose to identify my hormone imbalance symptoms and why

I hope this episode clears up a lot of confusion you may have about hormone testing and gives you back some of your power when it comes to your health and your body. 



This episode’s “Thump on the Head”:

“We need to move from a disease-care model to a “health-based model”...[which involves] teaching patients how to be their own clinician.”

 

–Functional medicine doctor and renowned hormone expert, Dr. Sara Gottfried.
