Episode 38: SPONSORED HPA, Organic Acids and the DUTCH Test with Dr. Carrie Jones

Why would Precision Analytical, the laboratory famous for the
ground-breaking DUTCH test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive
Hormones) and Cortisol Awakening Response test, decide to offer a
handful of key organic acids on their panel (incidentally, at no
extra charge)? The answers will wow you in this terrific podcast
with Dr. Carrie Jones, Medical Director at PA. Turns out, looking
at compounds such as homovanillic acid, vanillmadilic acid, 5HIAA,
pyroglutamate, 8OH2DG and xanthurenate have LOADS to do with our
sex hormones and our HPA axis at many different levels. As usual,
Dr. Jones provides fun analogies (how does a trampoline explain
perimenopause?), clinically useful information on test
interpretation and on intervention considerations. Don’t miss it.
