In the Western medical system, healthcare is often used to treat symptoms and diagnose illnesses rather than considering the whole person and addressing the root cause. As women's hormones fluctuate and change, this system often fails them because most doctors do not think holistically. Dr. Taz Bhatia, a double board-certified integrative physician and author of The Hormone Shift is on a mission to change all of that beginning with the way we think about medicine and women’s health.

According to Dr. Taz, approximately 40 percent of women are gaslit during medical encounters. After experiencing this first-hand in her twenties with her health challenges, she knew something had to be done. Initially studying Western medicine and working in the ER for 12 years, Dr. Taz went on to study integrative medicine and eventually opened CentreSpringMD. As a holistic and integrative health pioneer, Dr. Taz stresses how crucial it is for women to take control of their health, beginning with getting their hormones tested and putting together a team of health experts to guide them.
