#174 Don't Neglect Your Hormones | Holistic Approaches to Better Hormonal Health with Endocrinologist Dr. Jordan Geller

My guest today is endocrinologist Dr. Jordan Geller. Dr. Geller approaches your hormone story like a mystery that is uniquely yours. He discusses that you may have the same diagnosis as another patient but how you get a desired outcome can be completely different. We discuss how men may have hormonal issues as well, but tend to put them on the back burner or ignore them. Dr. Geller shares what he sees in the area of infertility, weight gain, and sleeplessness and why women don't have to suffer through menopause. He shares possible strategies for navigating and balancing your hormones. Dr. Geller sees a lot of patients who are trying to figure out if they have a thyroid issue or hormonal imbalance and introduces the best first steps to solving the issues before medication. He is not opposed to medication but practices a step-by-step approach to finding a solution that may oftentimes fix the issue before needing to go on meds. Dr. Geller walks the walk. He takes care of himself and is genuine about helping his patients.

Enjoy
