REPLAY: Biomarker testing for mental health with Dr Adrian Lopresti & Dr Sinan Ali

Dr Sinan Ali, academic and researcher in stress physiology and hormone analysis, joins our ambassador Dr Adrian Lopresti to discuss the use of hormone and biomarker analysis for the management of mental health conditions. Together they discuss the benefits (and the down-side) of using blood, urine, salivary and hair testing techniques and their application to provide further insight into a patient’s clinical presentation and to support clinical management. Sinan discusses current research supporting the use of cortisol, BDNF, oxytocin, corticotropin-releasing hormone and many other hormones for hormonal and mental health conditions and others that present exciting opportunities for future research in this area of functional pathology including malonyl dialdehyde, interleukin-6 and CRP.
