In this episode, we make the complex world of hormonal imbalances easier to understand. We meet Marisa Faye who is a holistic hormone specialist, and explore the various hormones contributing to imbalances and how they can impact our overall well-being. Marisa shares the symptoms to watch out for, the seven most common hormones that affect imbalance for the vast majority of women, various types of tests you can take, bio-identical hormones, and more. Additionally, in this Part 1 of 2 series, we address insulin resistance and why women often have stubborn weight that won’t move.
