095: Why Hormone Testing Isn't Always The Best

I don't particularly like trends where we make women feel like something is wrong with their bodies and then have them spend over $500.00 to test their hormones when they don't need it.<br /> <br /> There. I said it. <br /> <br /> I'm going on a bit of a rant today about when hormone testing should be used, and when it shouldn't be. <br /> <br /> You've heard me talk about reference points before in relation to burnout, and it's no different on this front. You have to have the reference points first and then you add the testing in to help you determine the last piece of the puzzle, not the first. . Looks like it's something that. Crazy magical and will tell you all of the things that are going on in your life. Because I find when people come to me with hormone tests that have already been done, that it's created a lot of fear, and a lot of feelings of inadequacy and a feeling like your body has let you down. <br /> <br /> It hasn't let you down friends, but this episode will help you understand why you need reference points.  <p> </p> <hr /> <p><strong>Let's Be Friends!</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.ashleymargeson.com/podcast">Full Shownotes</a><br /> <a href= "https://cornerstonenaturopathic.janeapp.com/locations/cornerstone-naturopathic-inc/book#/list"> Get On The Clinic Waitlist </a><br /> <a href= "https://mailchi.mp/ashleymargeson/superwomancode">Subscribe to The Superwoman Code Email List</a><br /> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drashleymargeson" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Follow @drashleymargeson on Instagram</a></p> <p><strong>Special Thanks To<br /></strong>Production: Ben Connolly<br /> A Cornerstone Naturopathic Inc Production</p>
