EP 88: HRT Readiness | What Tests You Need & How to Know If It’s Right for You

In this episode, we break down one of the most powerful tools for evaluating hormone health before starting therapy—the DUTCH test—and why it can offer deeper insight than standard blood work alone. For those navigating perimenopause, hormone levels can fluctuate significantly throughout the menstrual cycle, making traditional blood testing harder to interpret without precise timing and expertise. We explore why these shifts can make results feel unclear—and how more comprehensive testing can help paint a clearer picture. We also dive into how the DUTCH test helps uncover hidden imbalances in the body’s communication systems, including adrenal function, the HPA axis, and thyroid health. Even when basic labs like TSH appear normal, underlying issues may still exist—and this episode explains how to spot them. Finally, we discuss how advanced hormone testing can help predict how women may respond to therapies like testosterone—maximizing benefits like energy, metabolism, and libido while minimizing unwanted side effects. If you’re considering hormone therapy or want a deeper understanding of your hormonal health, this episode offers a clear, science-based look at the testing that can guide smarter, more personalized decisions.
