Mainstream medicine often fails us when it comes to hormonal imbalances. Hormones aren’t commonly tested, even when there is a high likelihood of an issue (like cortisol in our overly stressed culture). Since there are so many hormones that can become dysregulated, presenting with a wide variety of symptoms, many of the symptoms are written off to aging and never addressed.
On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, we are re-sharing Dhru’s interview with Dr. Sara Gottfried. Dhru and Dr. Gottfried take a deep dive into the topic of hormonal imbalances, along with what you can do to get them back on track.
Dr. Gottfried is a board-certified physician who practices evidence-based integrative, precision, and Functional Medicine. She is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at Thomas Jefferson University, and Director of Precision Medicine at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health.

-Common hormone imbalances that have become normalized in society (7:30)
-Signs and symptoms of hormone imbalances (11:06)
