In this week's episode of Quantum Conversations, join Sarah Kleiner and Carrie Bennett as they dive into the fascinating world of hormones with their friend and recurring guest, Dr. Sara Pugh. We explore the molecular mechanisms and pathways of hormones, touching on everything from the transformation of cholesterol into pregnenolone, the master sex hormone, to the complex relationships between DHEA, testosterone, and cortisol. Discover how sunlight, stress, and even the moon influence hormonal balance, and learn about the crucial roles of mitochondria and body fat in hormone production. We also discuss the pineal gland's production of DMT, the importance of liver health in hormone replacement therapy, and the intriguing concept of nutritional intuition. Plus, get insights on how living conditions and climate can affect your well-being and hormone levels. Tune in for an in-depth look at the interconnected nature of hormones and practical tips for achieving hormonal harmony!
