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

Mar 21, 2018

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.
