Is Infrequent Serum Hormone Testing Failing Peri- & Menopause Care? A Real-Time, Case-Based Guide

Dr. Carrie Jones (ND, FABNE, MPH, MSCP) and Rose MacKenzie (Clinical Manager at Mira) joined Dr. Kara Fitzgerald for a practical, case-based exploration of real-time hormone testing in perimenopause and menopause care.

Traditional hormone testing often captures a single snapshot, missing the dynamic fluctuations that define the menopause transition. In this clinician-focused webinar, we showed how longitudinal, at-home hormone data can sharpen diagnostics, guide HRT decisions, and improve treatment monitoring.

Using real patient cases and cycle charts, this session will walk through how continuous hormone insights can change clinical decision-making in practice.

We covered:

• How real-time hormone testing supports diagnosis and treatment monitoring (step-by-step)
• How Mira complements blood, DUTCH, and other conventional hormone tests
• How different HRT strategies shape hormone patterns over time
• New research on FSH as a risk marker during the menopause transition
• How clinicians are monitoring FSH suppression and hormone trends longitudinally to guide care

Watch this data-driven, practical conversation designed for clinicians who want more precision, less guesswork, and better outcomes in peri- and menopause care.

Live attendees joined the Q&A and had their questions answered in real time.
