Episode notes
Hormones Control Whole-Body Health
- Hormones are chemical messengers released by glands that act across the whole body and affect stress, metabolism, reproduction, sleep, and ageing.
- They interact with nearly every system, so hormone health impacts energy, mood, fertility, and long-term health.
Push For Clear Tests And Signposting
- If a GP dismisses symptoms as "just hormones", ask which hormones and what tests should be done next.
- If unsatisfied, seek another clinician and request clear signposting or referral to a specialist.
Modern Life Has Altered Hormone Risk
- Environmental and behavioral changes in the past 50 years have shifted women's hormone health via epigenetics and lifestyle.
- Increased sedentariness, processed foods, disrupted clocks, and endocrine disruptors combine to worsen hormonal conditions.
