Degrees of Health Dr Rob Kominiarek | Hormones, Health, Longevity - Fix Your Lifestyle First, Hormones Will Follow
Hormones are often misunderstood or oversimplified (because they are quite complicated). But according to Dr. Rob Kominiarek, they are one of the most powerful (and most overlooked) levers we have for health, vitality, and aging well. So it's worth knowing what we can do to improve them and feel better, right?
In his practice, Dr Rob Kominiarek focuses on individualised, root-cause approaches towards hormone balance, metabolic health, and long-term wellness. Yes he uses all the tools in the box, but only when they're necessary and fit the client. Here, Dr Rob and Ben are exploring the role of testosterone in men and women, how hormone imbalances manifest differently in men and women, and why lab results alone aren’t the full picture.
We cover:
💥 Symptom over numbers - why how you feel matters more than your lab results
💊 Cellular resistance and over-prescribed TRT - when your body makes hormones, but they don’t do what they’re supposed to
🧘♀️ Women’s hormones - why birth control and low protein intake create a "perfect metabolic storm"
💥 Peptides & personalised protocols - tools for healing and hormone regulation without cookie-cutter plans
🥗 How lifestyle affects hormones - under-eating, overtraining, birth control, and stress
⚡ Symptoms vs. Lab Results - why chasing "optimal T levels" is a distraction if you’re not solving the root issue
🚫 The real danger? Focusing on visible muscle while ignoring bone loss, energy decline, and mood shifts
This episode also endeavours to bring more information to the fore on female hormones, and where there are distinct differences between the two sexes that are critical to our understanding and optimisation of sex hormones. More to come on this!
