Today on the show Dr. Shona Datta-Thomas and Kat talk about the importance of acknowledging our hormone health as the inevitable aging process happens. In our culture - we try to do anything but age- but when it comes down to it… it’s happening every second. So, what do we need to know and why? How do sleep and exercise playing a role in hormone balance and how does that change as we age? Shoma is a kind soul with a heart to have informative conversations with the patients she works with. It can be tough to find enough time to talk to your doctor about some of these issues in the normal 15 minute windows we are given during appointments so… let this be a starting off point to get you thinking about the questions you may want answers to as you age. Moushumi Shoma Datta-Thomas, MD is a Johns Hopkins trained board-certified aesthetic gynecologist with fellowship specialization in advanced pelvic and vaginal surgery.

This week Kat is breaking down the 4 reasons she believes diets are not helpful and also just flat out dangerous. There is so much conflicting information in the world about what is healthy, what is unhealthy, and what you should do in order to live the most optimal life you can. So much information, that it is hard to know who to believe. Because of this, Kat is giving you front row tickets to the perspective of an eating disorder therapist. And the truth is, there are many ways that you can choose to "love your optimal life" but we don't think going on a diet will be one of them.    Follow Kat on Instagram: @Kat.Defatta Follow the podcast Instagram: @YouNeedTherapyPodcast Have a question, concern, guest idea, something else?
