In episode 67, we dive into what's considered "normal" in conventional medicine versus what's OPTIMAL in functional medicine when it comes to fertility hormone testing. Although it's common for doctors to test hormone levels in women after a couple struggles to conceive for 6-12 months (depending on age), there's a lot more to hormone testing than just making sure that you fall within the lab reference range for each test. A functional perspective looks at what levels provide the best chance of conceiving and carrying to term for a couple, not just whether it's possible to get achieve a pregnancy. Tune in to learn more about optimal hormone levels for both men and women, including:
Which tests should be considered in a fertility evaluation and what each test is used for
When each test should be completed during a woman's cycle
The functional ranges for FSH, LH, Estradiol, AMH, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHEA-S, and TSH
Other options for evaluating hormones in the context of fertility
