Join Dr. Danielle Belardo and her expert of the week, board certified endocrinologist and hormone myth buster, Dr. Arti Thangudu. After last week's episode, the questions poured in about fake diagnoses and predatory tests, so Arti is here to cut through the functional medicine noise and dispel the misinformation about adrenal fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, hormone supplements, and alternative medicine testing. With new “wellness” accounts being created on the daily, it is no wonder people are confused with what and who to believe when it comes to hormonal health. On today’s episode, Arti and Danielle discuss the difference between adrenal insufficiency and adrenal fatigue, the complexities of the thyroid, and social media’s hottest new hormone — cortisol.
Dr. Arti Thangudu, MD, is a triple board-certified physician and endocrinology, diabetes, and thyroid specialist who provides high-level, well-rounded care at Complete Medicine in San Antonio, Texas. Dr. Thangudu received her Doctor of Medicine from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio and completed a rigorous internship in internal medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. She then relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana, to complete her internal medicine residency at Tulane University. Dr. Thangudu also holds board certification in internal and lifestyle medicine and is certified in plant-based nutrition.
