Thyroid Answers Podcast #19: Dr. Carrie Jones, The DUTCH Test, And All Things Hormone
Drs. Eric Balcavage and Erica Riggleman discuss Hypothyroidism, the DUTCH Test, and all things hormone with Dr. Carrie Jones, the medical director of Precision Analytical. Dr Jones is an expert in hormone physiology. Precision Analytical preformes the DUTCH Test which stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. In a few short years, Precision Analytical and their DUTCH Test have gone from newbie to a major player in the hormone testing industry and in my opinion one of the best available tests for hormone testing. The lab is headed by Mark Newman and Dr Jones is their medical director.
Dr Jones is loaded with knowledge and is one the the best speakers on the lecture circuit. She has an amazing way of taking complex information and making it extremely simple to understand.
On today’s podcast the doctors discuss:
- The DUTCH Test
- Estrogen physiology
- Androgens
- Adrenal physiology
- Why Adrenal fatigue doesn’t really exist
- The link between thyroid physiology and cortisol metabolism
- Cortisol vs cortisone
