Are you struggling with hormonal imbalances, menopause symptoms, or wondering about the benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy? In this enlightening episode, we dive deep into the world of hormones with Dr. Kelly Ruef, a naturopathic doctor specializing in women's health and hormone testing.

  • The value of getting baseline hormone tests in your 20s and 30s for future reference
  • The connection between hormones and mental health, including anxiety and depression
