If you’ve ever been told “your labs look normal” but still know something feels off, this episode is for you.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the three main types of testing I use to uncover what’s really happening with your hormones — and why traditional lab work often misses the full picture. You’ll learn:
✨ The difference between HTMA testing (what your body needs) and DUTCH testing (what your hormones are doing)
✨ Why both tests together can reveal the what and why behind your symptoms
✨ How to use traditional lab work through a functional lens to identify early imbalances
✨ Who should consider hormone testing — and who shouldn’t just yet
I also share details about my new Hormone Deep Dive Lab Bank, a simple way to order functional hormone tests without joining a full program.
If you’re struggling with fatigue, PMS, acne, irregular cycles, or feeling dismissed by “normal” lab results — this episode will help you get the clarity and answers your body’s been asking for.
