Standard HRT adds more estrogen to a system that already has too much, which worsens symptoms for a significant number of women rather than resolving them.Q: What is the difference between a standard blood test and the DUTCH test for hormones?A: A standard blood test shows your hormone levels at a single point in time. The DUTCH test shows how your body is metabolizing and clearing those hormones over time, including whether your estrogen and progesterone are appropriately balanced relative to each other at the right point in your cycle.Q: What are the symptoms of estrogen dominance in perimenopause?A: Estrogen dominance in perimenopause produces weight gain, brain fog, mood swings, poor sleep, anxiety, and low libido. This is why women are frequently prescribed more estrogen when the real problem is insufficient progesterone to balance it.📱 RESOURCESWebsite: https://thehormonebalanceclinic.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehormonebalanceclinic/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHormoneBalanceClinic/videos🔔 Subscribe to this podcast for weekly evidence-informed content on female hormonal health, perimenopause, and the clinical approach that conventional medicine is not designed to deliver.ABOUT ROWAN SANDERSON: I'm Rowan Sanderson, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner specialising in female functional endocrinology.
