Pathology of Hormones

Understanding Hormones: Insights from the “Hormone Testing Webinar”

The Hormone Testing Webinar offers a comprehensive look at male and female hormones, focusing on pathology to understand their roles and the disruptions caused by imbalances. This session explores hormone production and metabolism, particularly through the sex steroid pathway and liver detoxification processes, both of which are critical for maintaining hormonal harmony.

The Importance of Hormone Testing

Testing is essential for pinpointing imbalances. The webinar discusses indications for hormone testing across different mediums:

  • Blood Tests: Reliable for many hormones but may not reflect diurnal variations.
  • Urine Tests: Especially the DUTCH test, which provides insights into hormone metabolites.
  • Saliva Tests: Reflect free, bioavailable hormone levels.

Key Hormones and Their Testing

1. Estrogen

  • Explores estrogen pathophysiology and metabolism.
  • Highlights the importance of testing 2:16 urinary estrogen metabolites to assess risks for estrogen-dominant conditions.

2. Progesterone

  • Discusses signs of deficiency and testing methods.
  • Examines reference ranges and the health impacts of low levels.

3. Steroid Pathway Hormones

  • Aromatase and 5-Alpha Reductase: Their roles in converting androgens and influencing conditions like PCOS and prostate issues.
  • FSH and LH: Key regulators of reproductive hormones.
  • Prolactin: The “great disruptor,” and its effect on hormonal balance.
  • SHBG: The “binder” that regulates hormone availability.

4. Adrenal Androgens and Testosterone

  • DHEA and DHEA-S: Key adrenal androgens.
  • Testosterone and DHT: Testing includes Free Androgen Index (FAI) and Calculated Free Testosterone (CFT).

Equipping Practitioners with Comprehensive Insights

This comprehensive view equips practitioners to interpret hormone tests accurately and provide targeted support for achieving hormonal balance. By understanding the strengths and limitations of various testing methods, clinicians can develop personalised interventions to support patient health effectively.
