22. Talking About Hormonal Imbalance with Dr. Melissa Vandermissen (Part 1)


Listen Later

In this episode of Obsessed or Not Interested Podcast, I have a heart-to-heart with Dr. Melissa Vandermissen about her personal journey from the world of pharmacy to the realm of functional medicine. Dr. Melissa is a Functional Medicine Chiropractic Physician that helps women achieve optimal health and wellness. 

 

We dive into the topic of postnatal depletion, explore how stress and exercise can impact our hormones in significant ways, and Dr. Vandermissen shares her insights on the importance of understanding our menstrual cycles to tailor our workout routines effectively and sheds light on the telltale signs of hormonal imbalance. Together, we offer practical lifestyle advice that anyone can incorporate, such as taking regular walks, soaking up some sunshine, ensuring adequate protein in our diets, and prioritizing good sleep. Plus, we talk about the benefits of high-quality supplements to maintain health and keep our hormones in check.

 

This conversation is part 1 of my interview with Dr. Melissa so make sure to look out for episode 24 on fertility.
