In today's episode, I welcome back my friend, Dr. Taz Bhatia. She's a board certified integrative medicine physician, wellness expert, and founder of CenterSpringMD, an award winning medical and wellness practice in Atlanta, Georgia, focused on health transformation. 

She’s gained national recognition as the best selling author of the books What Doctors Eat, The 21 Day Belly Fix, and Super Woman Rx. Her integration of eastern medicine wisdom with modern science along with her unique power type discovery has led to featured segments on Today and Good Morning America.

Today, we talk about her latest book, The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and Menopause. This book is for women of all ages. It's full of information that every woman should understand how their hormones shift, and how to bring them back into balance.

We talk about the important connection between gut health and hormones, how to teach teenagers to prioritize nutrition and sleep, the five major hormone shifts and what to expect in them, tips for preventing postpartum depletion, autoimmune disease, PCOS, and what you can do to combat environmental toxins and reduce cortisol naturally.
