Have you felt like you had no control of your hormones?

Like no matter how much you try to do/learn/test/research things just... never get better. And even though this is common amongst women, it doesn't make it any less frustrating. Does it?

And before anything else, I want you to know that YOU are not the problem.

But there are things you can do to optimize your hormones – which is why I had to bring Dr. Stephanie Gray (someone who I've personally worked with) on the show to share her approach and advice on how to overcome these obstacles. I hope this episode empowers and motivates you to take control of your hormone health to live the life you so greatly deserve.
