Labs I run on Every perimenopausal woman

When women first meet with me, they’ve never actually worked with a provider who runs true comprehensive labs and looks at the human as a whole (nutrition, exercise, trauma history, past infections, screening for uncommon issues, etc).

So many people on TikTok are screaming about how “you can’t test hormones in perimenopause” and don’t worry I’ll be addressing this soon. Because only practitioners who have no idea about hormones or what they are doing say things like this (shots fired + I mean it)

And because hormones don’t operate in a f*cking silo—- we test ALL. THE. <necessary> THINGS. Without being a lunatic and draining all of your blood.

I want to look at your hormones, thyroid, metabolic health, nutrient status, iron status, inflammation, and foundational health markers so we can figure out what is actually contributing to how you feel.

FOUNDATIONAL HEALTH MARKERS

• CBC with differential

• Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

• GGT (very specific for liver)

HORMONES

Some of the biggest reasons people aren’t feeling better have nothing to do with them TRYING hard enough. Plenty of women I work with are REALLY doing the most (most of the time too much!) But because their practitioners aren’t running the right labs or asking the right questions.

Imagine a mechanic trying to do a proper oil change or service check up but has NO IDEA what type of vehicle you’re driving. BEST OF LUCK.

This is why working with a practitioner (like me, hi 👋🏻 ) is one of the most valuable things you can do for your life and health.

In my hormone strategy session with patients I review the most comprehensive intake you’ll ever fill out about your health, start formulating a plan, you get ALL OF THESE LABS, we meet for 90 minutes, I refine and add to your personalized plan + 30 days of chat access with me so that you have the follow up you need and deserve (and yes DIRECT LINE TO ME. Not an assistant or a fucking bot).

From there you get to decide if I earn the right to handle your hormone replacement therapy :)
