Most women are handed hormones without the right testing — and end up feeling worse. In this video, I break down the complete lab panel you should know about before starting hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including saliva testing, blood work, thyroid, reverse T3, homocysteine, SHBG, ferritin, B12, folate, and more.

You’ll learn why standard TSH testing isn’t enough, how cholesterol ties into hormone production, and which labs can prevent you from being misdiagnosed or mistreated.

If you’re in perimenopause or menopause and want to feel educated, empowered, and ready to have the right conversation with your doctor — this is the video for you.
