Pee on This: The Test That Reveals Your Hormone Symphony. Guest Episode with Joanna Majithia

Episode 68We explore comprehensive hormone testing with Jo Majithia, Head of Clinical Education at Regenerus Labs, examining how the Dutch Test provides detailed insights beyond standard blood tests for women navigating perimenopause and hormone-related symptoms.• The Dutch Test measures dried urine samples to analyse hormone metabolism, showing not just levels but how effectively the body processes hormones• Conventional approaches often default to HRT without considering diet, lifestyle, stress management, and nutrient deficiencies• Different forms of hormone therapy (transdermal estrogen, oral progesterone, synthetic progestins) work differently in the body and affect symptoms in unique ways• The Mirena coil provides localised progestin effects but doesn't offer the systemic benefits of oral progesterone that many women need for mood and sleep• Low testosterone in women can cause weakness, reduced energy, and poor sleep, which is often overlooked in conventional hormone assessment• Testing provides empowering information to help women make informed decisions about their hormone health journey• Comprehensive hormone analysis examines cortisol patterns, melatonin production, and nutritional markers alongside sex hormonesIf you want to find out more about the Dutch Test, visit Regenerous Labs' website, which has a practitioner directory to help you find qualified support.Got a question or comment?
