disruption is a growing concern, especially for children as many
are reaching puberty at a younger age than ever before. Just under
one in four children are facing some sort of hormonal dysregulation
that impacts not only the onset of puberty, but also presents an
increased risk for conditions such as obesity, infertility,
endometriosis, and PCOS as they grow older.  In this episode,
Dr. Hyman discusses precocious puberty with Dr. Elizabeth Boham.
They cover the role that diet, weight, and nutrition play in
healthy hormones. They also talk about the effects on hormones from
the many toxins in our homes and in our environment; toxins that
are used without a lot of testing or experience. Elizabeth Boham is
a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at
The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and
lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of
optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition
every day in her practice and is committed to training other
physicians to utilize nutrition in healing. Dr. Boham has
contributed to many articles and wrote the latest chapter on
Obesity for the Rankel Textbook of Family Medicine. She is part of
the faculty of the Institute for Functional Medicine and has been
featured on the Dr. Oz show and in a variety of publications and
media including Huffington Post, The Chalkboard Magazine, and
