The DUTCH test has become one of the most talked-about hormone assessments in the menopause space. Some women describe it as illuminating and empowering. Some medical professionals describe it as unnecessary, over-interpreted, or a waste of money.

So why the disagreement?

In this episode, I step back from the noise and explore what’s actually being argued. What assumptions sit underneath functional hormone testing? What assumptions sit underneath conventional medicine? And why does this debate feel so emotionally charged?

Rather than taking sides, we look at the psychological and structural differences between these two paradigms — and what happens when menopausal women find themselves caught in the middle.

If you’ve ever felt validated by testing… dismissed by medicine… or confused by the intensity of the conversation online, this episode is for you.

We live in a culture that rewards certainty. In this episode, I reflect on the energy surrounding recent public controversies and ask a different question: what if moral outrage is sometimes a nervous system strategy rather than moral clarity? Drawing on anxiety physiology, childhood conditioning, and midlife change, I explore how certainty can feel like safety, and why building capacity for uncertainty might be the real work as we step into midlife.

There’s a kind of care that looks loving on the surface, yet somehow leaves both the receiver and giver more tense than before. This episode delves into this often unexplored territory. It’s called ‘the discipline of not intervening’. Of course I'm not talking about neglectfulness, but I am talking about healthy restraint. And what becomes possible when silence and space are allowed to make room for the natural order of things to emerge. If you’ve ever noticed yourself holding everything together, or sensed the quiet cost of always stepping in, this episode may be for you.
