Monitoring Hormone Replacement Therapy with Mark Newman | Ep. 26 | Better Medicine Podcast

Hormone replacement therapy continues to be one of the most confusing topics in medicine. There is so much misinformation around the use of Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone from false claims about its safety profile to dosing and route of administration to best practices for its monitoring. In this episode, I get to discuss all of that with Mark Newman who has a wealth of knowledge in this area having created the Dutch test with Precision Analytical. He very skillfully breaks down very complex Information into an easy to understand way and is really pioneering the best approaches to monitoring hormones.

We discuss:
● History of the DUTCH test and why he created it?
● Why Hormones are so misunderstood?
● The data is so overwhelming, how should we approach it?
● How conventional medicine, especially various academies like ACOG and NAMS,
doesn't recommend testing.
● Urine or serum testing, which is better? Is Saliva valid?
● Estrogen dosing or monitoring.
● Progesterone dosing or monitoring.
● Testosterone dosing or monitoring.
