Be Well by Kelly Leveque 227. Identify & Treat Hormone Imbalances with The Health Babes #WellnessWednesdays
The Health Babes brand was created by Drs. Becky Campbell and Krystal Hohn, functional medicine practitioners with a passion for helping people get to the root cause of their health issues after overcoming complex symptoms of their own during grad school.
As board-certified physicians of natural medicine, these ladies are a dynamic duo of research knowledge and lived experience. If they can’t tell us all the ways we can get our hormone levels under control, no one can.
Besides working together in their functional medicine practice, they have recently published a super actionable book called The Health Babes Guide to Balancing Hormones – which is just one resource among many from these two designed to help people on a larger scale.
Dr. Becky Campbell and Dr. Krystal Hohn created this fundamental resource manual to explain the various ways your hormones can affect your body and what you can do to balance them for a happier, healthier life. And that’s right where we pick it up, today!
