Summary

Welcome back to the podcast! In today’s must-listen episode, Chantel got to speak with Dr. Michelle Sands,  In this episode, we’re diving deep into hormones, health, and how to feel your best with Dr. Michelle Sands, a board-certified naturopathic physician and women’s hormone expert. If you’ve been struggling with weight gain, anxiety, insomnia, or low energy, your hormones might be out of balance—and you may not even realize it! Dr. Sands breaks down the early warning signs of hormone imbalance, why progesterone is key for sleep and mood, and how gut health affects estrogen levels and weight loss. She also reveals the surprising truth about cholesterol and why statins may not be the answer for women. Plus, if you’ve been gaining stubborn belly fat despite eating and exercising the same way, she explains how hormonal shifts could be to blame and what you can do to fix it naturally. Some of the most common signs of hormonal imbalance include irregular periods, significant weight changes, mood swings, fatigue, acne breakouts, excessive hair growth on the face or body, changes in sex drive, hot flashes, night sweats, difficulty sleeping, unexplained hair loss, and noticeable changes in skin texture or appearance. If you experience any of these symptoms, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended to get tested for hormonal imbalances. Dr. Michelle Sands specializes in helping women balance their hormones naturally and is passionate about bioidentical hormone therapy, holistic health, and functional medicine.
