Hormones are complicated! The body makes dozens of hormones that influence each other. Fine-tuning that full hormonal symphony can lead to significant symptom improvement and well-being. Genova’s testing can help and the new Endo+ Profile is a great place to start. With this latest product upgrade, we’ve spent almost 2 years scouring the literature for the most up-to-date clinical information to help guide clinicians. However, while we were knee-deep in research and literature, we found ourselves with conflicting messaging and realized the echo chamber in personalized medicine might need to be re-examined.  

In today’s episode, we begin to challenge a few concepts in hormonal testing. Sometimes it’s good to be humble, take a fresh look at dogmatic concepts, and rethink what we thought we knew.

The world of medicine can be challenging. Clinicians and patients are always looking for more options, more effective treatments… and in the end, more answers. What if there was a way to practice medicine that digs deeper and offers a new perspective? Functional medicine focuses on addressing root causes of disease. At Genova Diagnostics we’ve watched this field evolve and grow for over 35 years….

We’ve not only adapted, we’ve led. Join us as we talk about functional medicine, laboratory testing, and optimizing health. Welcome to the Lab Report.
