 The Dusty Muffins are back with a no-nonsense guide to menopause lab work! Dr. Aoife O'Sullivan (MD, MSCP), Dr. Christine Hart Kress (DNP), and Dr. Rebbecca Hertel (DO, MSCP) break down exactly which tests matter, which might be overkill, and how to advocate for the right testing with your clinician.
In this episode, you'll learn:
✅ The essential lab work every menopausal woman should consider
❌ When testing crosses the line into unnecessary territory
📋 Their complete recommended testing checklist to bring to your next appointment
💡 How to interpret results and what numbers actually matter
The Muffins cover all the key tests including:
• Hormone panels (FSH, Estradiol, Testosterone)
• Metabolic markers (CMP, Lipid Panels, A1C)

• And other crucial health indicators
With their trademark blend of expertise and humor, they'll help you navigate the often-confusing world of menopause testing so you can feel confident about your next doctor's visit.
