Do You Really Need a Hormone Test? What Most Women 40+ Aren’t Told

The Thriving Metabolism: Weight Loss Beyond Diets

If you’ve ever been told your symptoms are “just your hormones”… or been tempted to spend money on a hormone test hoping for answers, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth: hormone tests often tell you what’s happening, not why it’s happening.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason many women over 40 struggle with symptoms like stubborn weight, fatigue, mood swings, and cycle chaos, even when their hormone results come back “normal.” You’ll learn why hormones aren’t usually the root cause, why the standard tests (even those online kits!) fall short, and what we actually assess first in my clinic to get lasting results.
We’ll also talk about when advanced hormone testing is worth it, what makes it meaningful, and how to approach it in a way that supports real healing, not just more confusion.
💡 What You’ll Learn:

• Why “normal” hormone results don’t mean your body is functioning optimally
• The 7 core areas we assess before even thinking about testing hormones
• Why online hormone test kits (like MediCheks and Thriva) often leave you more confused
• The cultural myth of menopausal chaos—and what makes the difference
• When advanced testing (like the DUTCH test) is actually useful
• How to get real answers without wasting time or money
