Show highlights: what you can look forward to in this episode!

There is a hidden hormone epidemic that exists, with several levels to why it’s hidden and so often normalized in society.
Romm made a big realization after starting college years ago, and she considered herself a “trojan horse” when she went back to Yale decades later to get her MD.
Hormone health is a critical vital sign of our overall health in a variety of ways, every day and not just during certain times of the month.
We’re getting better as moms at admitting when something is off, but historically women have just kept going and tried to push through burnout.
We often forget about the non-physical symptoms of burnout, but there are subtle signs to watch for and to be aware of.
The right types of foods, including carbohydrates, healthy fats and quality proteins, are absolutely critical for supporting our nervous system.
Smart devices can be our worst enemy at bed time. Dr. Romm shares how to approach a sleep routine in the most optimal way.
