Are you doing everything "right" — eating clean, working out, trying every skincare trick — yet still struggling with stubborn belly fat, unexplained fatigue, or adult acne that just won't clear?

The real problem could be an overlooked protein: Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG).

Hi, I'm Colleen Kupka, Nurse Practitioner and leading hormone specialist in Scottsdale, AZ, and founder of Rejuvenate Hormone and Weight Loss Center. Come along with me as I dive into SHBG — what I call your body's "hormone gatekeeper."

Inside this episode, you'll learn:

• What SHBG really does and why it's so crucial for your sex hormones, energy, and mood

• How insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and even poor sleep can tank your SHBG levels — and what that means for your long-term health

• The subtle signs your SHBG may be too low, including skin tags, midsection weight gain that won't budge, unwanted facial hair, or thinning scalp hair

• The exact labs I run for my patients — because a basic thyroid panel just isn't enough

• My step-by-step plan to naturally support healthy SHBG levels through a nutrient-dense diet, effective stress management, aerobic & strength training, and advanced options like tirzepatide, which research shows can outperform Ozempic for weight loss and metabolic health

If you've ever felt dismissed by "normal" labs or generic advice, you deserve answers, and I am here to help you find them. Call me at (480) 589-3999 or book your complimentary hormone consultation with me today. Let's make sure your SHBG — and your entire hormone system — is working for you, not against you.

My goal is to ensure you leave my podcast feeling informed, empowered, and ready to take action — so you can finally stop guessing and start feeling like you again.
