As the name suggests, New Frontiers is about staying ahead of the curve in functional medicine, continually asking critical questions, and being open to self-critique. This couldn’t be more true than when it comes to advanced functional testing. Today I’m pleased to talk with a familiar face and renowned hormone testing expert, my friend Mark Newman. Mark created the DUTCH test based on his decade-long experience in novel test development, and joins New Frontiers to talk about all things hormones: from cortisol & thyroid health to estrogen, progesterone and androgens, the importance of analytical and clinical validation of tests, and his upcoming research on various hormone replacement therapy methods. If you’re like me, you’ll be blown away by Mark’s passion for delivering functional tests that offer meaningful differentiation and his commitment to publishing peer-reviewed data. Settle in, and be sure to check out the shownotes for tons of ancillary info, plus special offers from Precision Analytical. Listen, learn, and leave us a comment wherever you find New Frontiers!
