Many people only think about hormones in relation tomenopause, puberty or fertility. But hormones influence every cell in yourbody, affecting everything from your energy and metabolism to inflammation, sleep and long-term health.

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by consultant endocrinologist and author Dr Saira Hameed to uncover the extraordinary roles hormones play throughout the body, and why so many myths and misunderstandings about hormones still exist.

Together they explain how hormones act as the body’scommunication system, why medicine has traditionally focused on diagnosing hormonal disease rather than preventing it, and why conditions such as insulinresistance are often missed for years. They also discuss why hormone blood tests should never be interpreted in isolation, and why understanding your symptoms is as important as understanding your results.

Whether you’ve been told your hormones are “normal”, want to better understand your symptoms, or are simply fascinated by how the human body works, this episode will leave you thinking about hormones in a completely different way.
