Hannah Alderson is a nutritionist and hormone expert, who recently released her debut book ‘Everything I Know About Hormones: Six Steps to Optimal Health and Happiness’.

Hormones are vital for our daily functioning and can be a great indicator for our overall health - so why do so many of us know so little about them?

In part one, Hannah joins Dr Alex George to unpack our key hormones and their functions, the different factors that can impact our hormone function and why our hormones haven’t adapted to our modern world…

Plus, Hannah discusses the differences between synthetic and natural hormones and reveals why (perhaps unfairly) cortisol has such a bad reputation.
