An accurate understanding of the menstrual cycle is a critical foundation for helping your female clients. Whether your patient is dealing with irregularity, abnormal bleeding, PCOS, infertility, or other hormonal disorders, a clear view of hormonal patterns through the menstrual cycle is the first step in developing a successful treatment plan. In this presentation, Dr. Smeaton, a top women’s health and fertility expert, will review how she uses conventional and functional lab testing to evaluate female reproductive hormones throughout the cycle. Attendees will:
· Review the “normal” hormonal cycle and understand how various hormones will shift throughout the cycle
· Obtain an understanding of how and when to measure the various female reproductive hormones
· Understand the pros and cons of serum, urine, and salivary assessment of hormones
· Leave with a clear clinical approach to evaluate menstrual hormones in cycling and postmenopausal females
· Learn what tests Dr. Smeaton prefers to use in her own practice and how she interprets them to extract the most clinical value for her patients
