Are Your Hormones Out Of Balance? | Know Your Numbers

This episode is brought to you by Essentia and Cozy Earth.


Conventional medicine often fails us when it comes to hormonal imbalances. Hormones aren’t commonly tested, and many of the symptoms of imbalance are written off to aging and never addressed. Our hormones are like a symphony, with each one acting as a specialized instrument to keep our bodies in tune. Unbalanced hormones can lead to impaired mood, poor sleep, memory difficulties, sexual problems, and more. Get your hormones back in balance, and these problems usually disappear.


In today’s episode of a new series I’m calling Know Your Numbers, I dive deep into male and female sex hormones. I discuss what you should measure to understand your hormonal health in a whole new way, the difference between conventional and optimal lab ranges, and much more. 


You can test your hormonal health with Function Health, a company I co-founded. It has been a lifelong dream for me. Function is the first-ever membership that includes over 100+ lab tests and personalized insights from globally renowned doctors based on your results. Join Function at functionhealth.com.
