Summary

In the Western medical system, healthcare is often used to treat symptoms and diagnose illnesses rather than considering the whole person and addressing the root cause. As women's hormones fluctuate and change, this system often fails them because most doctors do not think holistically. Dr. Taz Bhatia, a double board-certified integrative physician and author of The Hormone Shift is on a mission to change all of that beginning with the way we think about medicine and women’s health. According to Dr. Taz, approximately 40 percent of women are gaslit during medical encounters. After experiencing this first-hand in her twenties with her health challenges, she knew something had to be done. Initially studying Western medicine and working in the ER for 12 years, Dr. Taz went on to study integrative medicine and eventually opened CentreSpringMD. As a holistic and integrative health pioneer, Dr. Taz stresses how crucial it is for women to take control of their health, beginning with getting their hormones tested and putting together a team of health experts to guide them. If you're looking for more ways to get started on your holistic health journey be sure to check out Dr. Taz’s book The Hormone Shift. Thanks for listening!

0:00.0	Do you ever see a successful woman on your feed or in a magazine and think, wow, it must be
0:05.6	nice to have it so easy. Well, think again. Behind that glossy cover or smiling face is a ton of hard work,
0:12.8	countless failures, and endless learning experiences. I'm Rebecca Minkoff, and I'm here to tell you
0:17.8	that success isn't a walk in the park. It takes grit, resilience,
0:22.4	and a willingness to take risks. That's why I created Superwoman, a podcast that peels back to
0:27.9	varnish and gets into the nitty gritty of what it takes to make it as a woman in today's world.
0:32.6	From luminaries and game changers to women you've never heard of but should, this podcast is here to inspire you to take your next leap, no matter how daunting it may seem.
0:42.3	We'll explore the sacrifices these women have made, the highs and loaves they've experienced, and the lessons they've learned along the way.
0:49.3	So if you're ready to be inspired and learn from some of the most successful women out there, join me on
0:54.7	Superwomen. Together, we'll uncover the stories behind the successes and prove that with hard work,

1:12.5	She is on a mission to reimagine and bring holistic health to everyone.
1:17.7	We go deep on what actually happens to a woman when she has huge hormonal shifts,
1:22.5	how that affects your ability as a partner, as a wife, sexually, mentally,
1:30.1	but also the disservice that primary care doctors are doing when they give you a pellet or a pill or a shot thinking that's going to be
1:36.2	what cures you. This topic is personally so important to me. And so rather than asking Dr. Taz
1:43.0	about her business journeys and challenges, we go very,
1:47.0	very deep on everything hormone related. You can get it all from her book, but I highly recommend
1:53.1	taking a listen, getting inspired, reframing your thinking to someone who was an emergency care
1:58.7	physician that transitioned her practice to this after going
2:02.6	through her own physical transformation. Take a listen. Welcome to the podcast, Dr. Taz. When I saw
