The Bean Talk

Show Notes

You went to the doctor. Got the blood tests done. Everything came back normal. So why do you still feel awful?

You are not imagining it!

In this episode Riannon and Jeremy cut through the confusion and explain exactly what is going on with your hormones and why your results are not telling the whole story.

Here is the truth most people are never told. It is not just what hormones you test. It is when you test them. How you prepare. And which type of test you use. All of that changes everything.

In this episode, we cover:

* Why normal blood test results do not mean your hormones are optimal * How hormonal imbalance symptoms persist even when results look fine * Why hormone testing timing is everything * When to test progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, thyroid and insulin * The truth about day 21 progesterone testing * FSH, LH, SHBG, DHEAS and prolactin and when to test them * How to prepare for a hormone blood test * Blood testing versus saliva hormone testing * Estrogen dominance and why blood tests alone can miss it * PCOS and PMOS hormone testing and naturopathic treatment * Why normal reference ranges identify disease but not your symptoms * Normal versus optimal and why it matters * Common hormone testing mistakes to avoid * Why working with a naturopath before ordering tests makes all the difference

If your blood tests say normal but your body tells a different story. This episode will change the way you think about your health and your results.
