If you've ever been told "your labs are normal" while feeling exhausted, struggling with hormone issues, or facing fertility challenges—this conversation reveals the truths about women's health that conventional medicine often misses.

In this eye-opening episode of The Charlene Gisele Show, I sit down with functional medicine expert Dr. Greg Mongeon to explore why high-achieving women often struggle with energy, hormones, and fertility—and why the conventional medical system frequently fails to provide real answers.

As a former lawyer who experienced burnout firsthand, I now help women decode their body's signals before collapse occurs. Dr. Greg brings 25 years of experience working with women through hormonal transitions, fertility challenges, and the unique health demands faced by high-performing professionals.

💬 "The body responds appropriately to its environment. Think of a symptom not as a symptom, but as a signal. What is my body trying to tell me?" - Dr. Greg
