Listen Later

Today’s guest is Dr. Brendan McCarthy from Protea Medical Center in Chandler, AZ.  A nationally recognized expert in hormone replacement therapy, Dr. McCarthy’s the only instructor in the nation who teaches Bioidentical HRT on live patients. Physicians travel to Arizona to take his course and integrate it into their own practices. Besides hormone replacement therapy, Dr. McCarthy has spoken nationally and locally before physicians on topics such as weight loss, infertility, nutritional therapy and more. Dr. McCarthy’s hallmark is his unorthodox approach to mental/emotional wellness and its link to hormone balance in women and men. Using blood work and clinical investigation, Dr. McCarthy gets to the bottom of possible causes for common conditions such as anxiety, PMS, depression, slow metabolism, weight gain, and insomnia.
