Dr. Amy Beckley shares her journey from personal infertility struggles to creating an at-home hormone testing platform that helps women understand and advocate for their hormonal health. She explains how women's healthcare often overlooks hormone imbalances until they become severe issues, leaving many suffering unnecessarily.
• Hormones affect every cell in our bodies, impacting everything from fertility to brain function, bone strength, and heart health
• Many women's health issues stem from hormone imbalances that are easily treatable when properly identified
• Traditional healthcare often takes a reactive rather than preventative approach to women's health
• Conditions like PCOS and endometriosis affect 10-12% of women but take an average of 10 years to diagnose
• Perimenopause typically begins in our late thirties, with hormone decline starting well before official menopause
• Progesterone is critically important for mood balance, sleep, and overall wellbeing, yet remains poorly understood
• Self-advocacy and community support are essential for navigating women's health challenges
• The Proov hormone testing platform allows women to track and understand their hormone patterns at home
