The Root Causes And Solutions For Women’s Hormonal Imbalances with Dr. Sara Gottfried

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Athletic Greens,
and TUSHY. If you’ve experienced any of the symptoms of hormonal
imbalance, you’d probably agree that they have a lot of power over
how well we feel. But unfortunately, especially for women, the
signs of hormonal imbalances are constantly being written off as
“normal.” I’m here to tell you that they’re not! Today, I’m talking
with Dr. Sara Gottfried about why our hormones get out of whack and
how to get them back in balance. Dr. Sara Gottfried is a
board-certified physician who graduated from Harvard and MIT. She
practices evidence-based integrative, precision, and Functional
Medicine. She is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department
