Welcome back to the podcast! In today's episode, we're tackling the important topic of hormones as part of our "How to Talk to Your Doctor" series. Joined by Dr. Taal, our naturopathic doctor, we aim to make discussing hormone health with your healthcare provider more comfortable. Dr. Taal shares personal experiences with hormonal health issues, highlighting the need to address discomfort rather than normalize it. Hormones act as messengers for various bodily functions, making understanding their basics crucial. Even if not planning to conceive, fertility and hormonal balance are still relevant. We emphasize early action if your body deviates from usual patterns, as prompt addressing can expand your treatment options.
Throughout the conversation, Dr. Taal emphasized the importance of understanding one's own body and advocating for one's health. He highlighted the significance of recognizing and addressing changes in bodily functions that deviate from the norm. Dr. Taal stressed the need to avoid normalizing discomfort or symptoms, especially for women, and instead encouraged seeking medical help and having open conversations with healthcare providers. He underscored the value of early intervention to expand treatment options and prevent potential complications. Additionally, Dr. Taal emphasized that healing starts with self-awareness and self-love, and each individual's healing journey is unique.
Thank you for tuning in to this episode focused on empowering your health journey!
"It's important to have a baseline to understand exactly what's happening with an individual at that moment to confirm any sort of diagnosis or thoughts around what the underlying cause may be. And then to also provide the ability for us to track progress over time when we've implemented a treatment plan."
