Hormone testing can be completely overwhelming and confusing.
Is it worth it to get your hormones tested? Which hormones do I test? When in your cycle should you test them? What do my test results even mean?
I hear these questions all the time and today I’m breaking the hormone testing myths and sharing everything you need to know when it comes to getting your hormones tested.
In this episode, we talk about why and when to get your hormones tested, the pros and cons of the different types of testing, why we aim for functional test ranges, what to do after you get your results, and so much more!

I typically experience bloating, lower back pain, and cramping is in the lead up to my period and since I’ve been using Elix for the past month, my luteal phase and my period have been noticeably easier. While I don’t have majorly disruptive periods, I have noticed things are changing in my 40s and this is why I’m so excited about the positive changes I’m seeing.

The health assessment asks roughly 60 questions about your cycle, current state of health, and overall wellbeing to uncover the root cause of your symptoms and recommend the best herbs to help you heal naturally.
