DUTCH Test
In this episode, Dr. Margaret Beeson joins host Dr. Jaclyn Smeaton to discuss bone health, estrogen decline during perimenopause, and the importance of family history as a predictor of bone health and risk of osteoporosis.
Dr. Beeson and Dr. Smeaton also discuss:
- How estrogen decline contributes to bone loss
- Genetics and family history as the strongest predictors of risk
- The need for DEXA scans to occur earlier and establish a baseline of bone density
- The impact of estrogen and progesterone therapy on bone health and how DUTCH testing captures those hormone levels
- Systemic issues in primary care that can make proactive screening difficult
