You asked your doctor to “test everything”—hormones, thyroid, nutrients—and they said, “You’re fine.” But you don’t feel fine. You’re still tired, gaining weight, feeling anxious, not sleeping, or just not you anymore. Spoiler alert: basic labs often miss what’s really going on.

In this episode of Hello Hormones, I break down why “normal” doesn’t always mean optimal, especially for women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. We’ll talk about which tests to ask for, what they actually measure (and what they don’t), how timing your labs matters, and how to stop feeling gaslit by your own bloodwork.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why CBCs and metabolic panels are not hormone tests

  • What most doctors don’t include in standard thyroid panels (and why it matters)

  • The bloodwork I recommend for metabolic health, inflammation, and nutrient status

  • What to test (and when) if you still have a cycle vs. if you don’t

  • The key difference between estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone tests

  • The hormone markers that help explain fatigue, weight gain, mood, and more

  • What to do before testing to make sure results are accurate
