Treating root causes not diseases are at the core of functional medicine, and that includes hormonal health. If someone is hormonally deficient and unbalanced, simply put they’re in trouble. It’s the reason why girls are reaching puberty 4 to 5 years earlier than generations before, and women are hitting perimenopause often a decade too early! And that reason is they are vitamin and mineral deficient, sunlight deficient, sleep deficient, stress excessive and therefore hormonally deficient. 

Dr Carrie Carda is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology with a specialization in bio-identical hormone therapy. She earned a master's degree in metabolic medicine and nutrition from the University of South Florida School of Medicine. Currently, she recently completed a second master's degree in Integrative and Functional Medicine at George Washington University School of Medicine. Dr. Carda's patients benefit from her expertise in nutritional supplements and her training in metabolic medicine.  She proudly serves as the Medical Director of Ozark Weight Loss Center, where she has been instrumental in advising and formulating supplements to enhance the health of her patients.
  

Join us as we explore:

• Hormone replacement therapy, why it has to be bioidentical and how the studies that created cancer scares regarding hormone therapy were based on faulty studies using biologically inappropriate medication.
• The most important questions you need to ask your gynecology about hormonal health.
• The incredible connection and importance of vitamin D and hormonal health.
• How parents should manage precocious puberty.
