“Insulin resistance causes PCOS, which leads to irregular periods, excessive hair growth, and sometimes infertility. Treatment should address insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances, like progesterone deficiency and thyroid dysfunction, tailored to each person's unique symptoms.”

The world of medicine has long focused on managing diseases and prescribing for symptoms. But what if we could prevent diseases in the first place? That's where hormone health comes in.

Our special guest today is Dr. Terri DeNeui, Founder of Evexias Health Solutions. In this episode, we cover everything you need to know about hormones, bioidenticals, and pellets. We also talk about how to navigate hormonal issues while dealing with PCOS, endometriosis, and infertility. Learn why hormones get a bad rap and how Dr. DeNeui is leading the change to dispel this misinformation.

Exceptional Highlights:

• Hormones like testosterone and estrogen are crucial for both men and women. Testosterone can significantly reduce inflammation and support brain health, particularly for women experiencing symptoms like depression and anxiety.
• The symptoms of low thyroid and low testosterone can often overlap. It is important to recognize that thyroid health also influences mood, and it's important to consider it in depression management.
• For young adults in their twenties, addressing diet, nutrition, and gut health is the initial step in managing hormonal issues before considering hormone replacement therapy.
