The Dr. Terri Show is presented by Evexias Health Solutions, for more visit: https://www.evexias.com/ --- Hey everybody, welcome back to The Dr. Terri Show! In today’s episode, we’re taking a deep dive into hormones—a foundational yet misunderstood aspect of health. As a practitioner with over 15 years of experience in this field, I’m here to dispel myths, share surprising truths, and give you the basics about how hormones impact every facet of our health. From chronic disease prevention to improving mental clarity and emotional well-being, hormones are the unsung heroes in our journey to vitality. Whether you’re battling brain fog, struggling with low energy, or wondering if hormone therapy is right for you, this episode lays the groundwork for understanding these vital chemical messengers. Here’s what we cover in this episode: Why hormones matter for everyone: Learn how hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone influence everything from heart health to mood, and why hormone decline affects men and women differently. The biggest myths about hormones: We explore misconceptions about hormone therapy, including the fear of breast cancer and prostate cancer, and share the latest scientific findings that might surprise you. How hormone imbalances start younger than ever: From teens to 20-somethings, environmental factors like endocrine disruptors are wreaking havoc on hormonal health, and we discuss what can be done. The connection between hormones and chronic diseases: Find out how hormone therapy can help prevent conditions like Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, heart disease, and more. Practical steps to take control: Tips for understanding your hormones, finding the right practitioners, and advocating for your health. Plus, I share personal stories from my practice, insights from groundbreaking studies, and why I believe hormones hold the key to better relationships, emotional stability, and lifelong health. Whether you’re just beginning to explore hormone health or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode is packed with actionable information to help you thrive.
