Do you ever feel just... off? Hot flashes, heavy periods, acne? Have you ever wondered if you're dealing with hormone imbalance? In this week's episode of the Less Stressed Life Podcast, I'm sharing my most helpful tips on hormone testing - common symptoms of hormone imbalance, when testing might be helpful, and what tests to consider.

If you have ever been curious about what's going on with your hormones, this episode is for you!

I dive into:

• Symptoms of hormone imbalance
• The DUTCH Test and other types of testing
• Understanding hormone testing results
• Four pillars of hormonal balance
• What you need to know about hormone replacement therapy
  
  

Mentioned in this episode:

• Episode 100: Why am I so freaking tired? A checklist for energy
• Episode 094: Hormone Testing & Stress Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones 
• Evaluating urinary estrogen and progesterone metabolites using dried filter paper samples and gas chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS)
  The data in this paper shows equivalency between DUTCH and serum, DUTCH, and 24-hr urine and liquid and dried urine samples. The project was completed collaboratively with the University of Southern California Reproductive Endocrine Clinical Laboratory.
