Episode #270: Rowan Sanderson: Diving into the power of balancing Sex Hormones & why both genetic and hormone testing are crucial for Longevity

Are you navigating the hormonal maze of perimenopause or menopause?

In this Longevity episode, I am joined by hormone specialist Rowan Sanderson to discuss insights on women's hormonal health, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. 

 

We discuss the importance of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in maintaining overall health and well-being, the impact of endocrine disruptors, and the role of genetic testing in understanding hormone balance. We also dive into the power of looking at metabolic pathways and the cost-effectiveness of the Dutch test as well as the benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. 

 

Rowan Sanderson is a hormone specialist and functional medicine practitioner with over a decade of experience in hormone testing and optimization. Rowan was one of the first practitioners in the UK to start using the Dutch test for hormone analysis. He has developed a comprehensive approach to hormonal health, creating a program that includes regular workshops, Q&A sessions, and a supportive community for women navigating hormonal changes. Rowan is the founder of the Hormone Balance Clinic, where he and his team offer personalized hormone optimization strategies.
