Forever. Friday weekly newsletter Here's the thing nobody tells you about perimenopause lab work: your doctor is looking for disease, but you need someone looking for optimal function. Those are two completely different things. And that gap is keeping you stuck with "normal" test results while your body falls apart. I've worked with enough women to see the pattern. They're told their thyroid is fine based on one marker. Their hormones get tested on random days. Nobody checks fasting insulin even though their glucose looks perfect. And they walk out of appointments being told to eat less and move more when the real problem is being completely missed. This episode is about getting the complete picture before you make any decisions about HRT, peptides, or other interventions. Because half my clients didn't need what they thought they needed once we actually looked at what their body was doing. FEATURED ON THE SHOW / RESOURCES Want to Work With Jennifer?
