Im your host Dr. Laura Pipher & I am a naturopathic doctor who helps you take your hormones from chaos to calm. Over my years as a practitioner I have worked with many women, and found that there are so many gaps in the knowledge of our own bodies. My purpose here is to educate about hormones and women health, talk about the things that make us feel comfortable, answer your questions, help you feel empowered about your healthcare decisions and hopefully give you some entertainment.

Have you ever been told your #thyroid is "fine" but you suffer from #fertility concerns, fatigue, weight gain, constipation, dryskin, hairloss, muscle and joint pain, or insomnia? ⁠ ⁠ Have you actually had your ENTIRE thyroid panel evaluated to make sure you are within the OPTIMAL range, rather than just putting you into the "normal" category? ⁠ ⁠ It is important to understand lab reference ranges. References ranges are usually established by collecting results from a large population and determining from the data an expected average (mean) result and expected differences from that average (standard deviation). This means that just because you fall "within the range", things may not be working optimally for YOU. ⁠ ⁠ Looking for more insight on your thyroid labs? Listen to this episode to get everything you need to know ! ⁠

Suffer from period problems? This is some of the bloodwork I will recommend when we are evaluating hormones, but the majority of the time my patients are not being told when to go for these tests in order to get the most accurate information as it pertains to their cycle. Whether you are evaluating for fertility, period problems or wondering if you are peri menopausal, testing at the RIGHT time in your cycle is critical to creating a treatment plan for your concerns. Check out my latest video to understand WHEN you should have your bloodwork done and WHY.

I hear this ALL the time when I talk to my patients who are taking birth control. "My period is very light, comes every 28 days, is a lot less painful" I also hear the other side of the coin "My period doesn't come every month, my mood & acne is worse, etc". Well heres the thing- your period on birth control is actually NOT a real period. Whether it is light, heavy, comes every month or is associated with worsened acne only tells us how the synthetic hormones are making you feel. The truth is, we don't have any clue about how YOUR hormones are working because birth control shuts off the communication between the brain and the ovaries. This means you aren't ovulatiing or cycling your hormones, and the "period" you experience is just a withdrawal bleed from discontinuing your synthetic hormones. Questions?
