Hey girl!

In today’s episode, I will be diving into the US healthcare system, the ins and outs of conventional medicine, and why it's so darn difficult to get perimenopause support–especially from our doctors.

I’m also going to break down the five reasons why your hormone blood panel keeps coming back “normal.”

In this episode you will learn:

-  The limitations of blood tests to check hormone levels

-  When to get hormones tested

-  Estrogen vs. estradiol–what’s the difference?

-  What to ask to get added to your thyroid blood test TSH

-  Blood tests vs the Dutch test–which is better?

-  The most reliable way to tell if you are in perimenopause

I hope this episode informs you, inspires you, or makes you laugh (or maybe just feel less like an alien.:)

This episode’s “Thump on the Head” is from Author Susan MacNamara:

“The time for relying on outer authorities is over. It is YOUR body. It is YOUR'S to take care of.”
