A CGM for Your Hormones: Daily Testing That Ends the Perimenopause Guessing Game - Rosemary MacKenzie
Hack My Age : Menopause UpgradeShow Notes
Have you ever asked your doctor to test your hormones, and were told there's no point because you're in perimenopause? Or maybe you started an estrogen patch, felt amazing for a week, and then suddenly felt worse and had no idea why? We cover: Why one blood test can show two completely opposite results in the same cycle (and why doctors stopped testing altogether)
The overlooked hormone that carries its own risks for your bones, brain and heart, independent of estrogen
The ketchup bottle effect: what's really happening when your symptoms suddenly flip
How to know if your HRT is actually absorbing, or just sitting on your skin
The timing mistake that can waste hundreds of dollars on comprehensive hormone tests like the DUTCH
