Episode Description

Have you heard about the DUTCH test or urine testing for hormones , but when you saw the price you were shocked? You hear that it's important, but not sure if it's worth the price and are looking for alternatives. Then this episode is for you.

Today I'm sitting down with my biohacking buddie Dr Amy Killen, who is a leader in women's health, regenerative medicine and longevity, and just spent six months combing through every study she could find on estrogen metabolites and hormone testing

We cover

  • What 22+ studies actually show about estrogen metabolites and breast cancer

  • If DUTCH testing is helpful or unnecessary

  • Labs that truly matter for longevity

  • Which tests can help time HRT or track menopause onset

  • The strongest lifestyle habits for extending our healthspan

  • What's the number one treatment for skin health in menopause

  • The top three longevity habits for women

  • And so much more
