Hacking Your Healthcare with Dr. Mark Hyman – Day 4: Hormones

When our hormones are out of balance, our energy levels, our zest for life, and our moods go haywire. The main hormones we address in this video are sex hormones (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, LH, FSH), thyroid hormones, and adrenal hormones (like cortisol). We also have to balance our insulin, but that is covered elsewhere in the course. Remember that if you have abnormal lab tests that point to low testosterone or PCOS, for example, the story should not end there. You don't want to take the pill and cross your fingers. You want to go back and find the real issue, which is often the metabolic disturbance caused by a diet that is high in starch and sugar.About the Commune Courses PodcastCommune creates video courses with world-renowned teachers on topics such as integrative medicine, nutrition, spirituality, meditation, personal growth, relationships, and mindful leadership.
