Hormones in Aging: Perimenopause, Menopause & Andropause

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.

What You’ll Learn

• 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

Reserve your spot today to gain practical insights into how clinicians can better understand and support patients navigating natural hormonal changes throughout the aging process.
