Hormone Testing: What Each Method Actually Tells You

from Modern Menopause by Parlor Games Hosted by Parlor Games

If you’ve ever been told your lab results are “normal” but still don’t feel like yourself, you’re not alone. In this episode, Dr Robyn Kutka and Morven explore the differences between blood testing and saliva testing for hormones—and why the results may not always reflect how you’re actually feeling. They discuss how common testing methods work, what they measure, and some of the limitations to be aware of—especially during perimenopause and menopause, when hormone levels can fluctuate.
