Menopause is a well-defined stage marked by the end of menstruation, while andropause reflects a more gradual change in testosterone in men. These natural life transitions may influence overall well-being and are part of the normal aging process. Developing a deeper understanding of these changes can help clinicians recognize patterns and provide informed, supportive care to patients.

In this session, Dr. Lylen Ferris, ND, Director of Clinical Education at Doctor's Data, will share perspectives on evaluating hormone balance with advanced laboratory assessments. The discussion will introduce two testing options from Doctor's Data - the Comprehensive Plus Salivary Hormone Profile and the Hormone & Urinary Metabolites Assessment Profile (HuMap™). Dr. Ferris will also review considerations for incorporating the cortisol awakening response (CAR) into salivary cortisol testing, along with lifestyle and nutrition factors that clinicians may wish to explore when supporting patients.

Learning Objectives:

• How natural hormonal transitions associated with aging may influence overall health in both men and women
• The role of saliva and urine testing in providing insights about hormone balance
• General lifestyle and nutrition considerations relevant to hormonal transitions

This is a Rupa University hosted event.

When it comes to selecting and interpreting Doctor's Data test results, providers often have the same questions. In response to your valuable feedback, this year we're expanding our Frequently Asked Questions webinar to include all of Doctor's Data's most popular tests. See the tests below and some of the questions we'll be answering!

Example Questions:

• GI360™ - My patient is experiencing gas, bloating and loose stool. Which is the best stool test to order?
• Cardiometabolic Profile - Does it contain Apolipoprotein B?
• Methylation - What is the difference between the Plasma Methylation and DNA Methylation Test?
• Metals - What is the best test for identifying heavy metal exposure?
• HuMap™ - What is the clinical utility of the HuMap™ cortisol panel and how does it compare to salivary hormone testing?
• Neurotransmitters - Does urinary neurotransmitter testing measure brain levels?
• Salivary Hormones - Should women on birth control test hormones?
• Adrenal Function - Why are my patient's cortisol levels low even though they are under a lot of stress?
