Summary

I think every woman with autoimmune disease knows how strongly our hormones can impact autoimmune symptoms. Some women flare around their periods. Some go into remission during pregnancy and then flare after delivery (or vice versa). Others find their symptoms start to increase during the hormone fluctuations of perimenopause. And others actually develop autoimmune disease after menopause. So clearly hormone balance is a topic near and dear to us all. In this podcast, I interview Dr. Justin Marchegiani, a functional medicine practitioner who specializes in hormone balance. He'll teach us what's at the root of hormone problems at all stages of a woman's life, and how to correct them. For my male listeners, today's podcast focuses mostly on women, but at the end of the podcast, Justin talks about hormone balance for men as well.
