158. Everything Endocrine: A Weight-Inclusive Guide to Midlife Hormones with Gregory Dodell, MD

Listen Later

If “balance your hormones” feels like a wellness buzzword, this conversation will be a breath of fresh air. Tara and Elizabeth sit down with Gregory Dodell, MD—board-certified endocrinologist, owner of Central Park Endocrinology, and the brain behind Everything Endocrine on Instagram—to unpack hormones without diet culture. 

 

Dr. Dodell shares his evolution to weight-neutral, stigma-free care, explains what hormones actually are, and gives clear, practical guidance for PCOS, thyroid health, cortisol, and when GLP-1 medications make sense. 

 

We also cover the lab tests worth asking for, why strength training matters, GLP-1s, and how to navigate the “just lose weight” directive so many patients still hear. Consider this your evidence-informed, compassion-first hormone primer.

 

In this episode:

  • Dr. Dodell’s shift from weight-centric training to weight-inclusive care
  • Hormones 101: pituitary → thyroid feedback loops, cortisol basics
  • PCOS made simple: insulin resistance as the foundation
  • “Balance your hormones” claims—what helps and what’s hype
  • Lab panels to discuss with your provider (and how often)
  • GLP-1 meds: when they help, red flags, and the importance of monitoring + muscle
  • How to respond when a provider says “just lose weight”
