Why Hormone Lab Values Are So Important

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! In this episode we go over hormone lab values. They aren't just the simple ranges your doctor may be telling you you're in between. I'm here to tell you why they are so much more than that and why you should be getting yours done!

Dr. Brendan McCarthy founded Protea Medical Center in 2002. While he’s been the chief medical officer, Protea has grown and evolved into a dynamic medical center serving the Valley and Central Arizona. A nationally recognized as an expert in hormone replacement therapy, Dr McCarthy s the only instructor in the nation who teaches BioHRT on live patients. Physicians travel to Arizona to take his course and integrate it into their own practices. Besides hormone replacement therapy, Dr. McCarthy has spoken nationally and locally before physicians on topics such as weight loss, infertility, nutritional therapy and more.
