She has successfully treated thousands of women through her unique approach to wellness.\nMarcelle is currently a faculty member of The Institute of Functional Medicine and has served as a Medical Advisor to Healthy Living Magazine. She has written countless articles and multiple books, including Is It Me or My Hormones?\nI always think of Marcelle as a pioneer in the women\u2019s health/nurse practitioner space. In this episode, we dive into her background and the impact of the Women\u2019s Health Initiative. We discuss the limitations of the traditional allopathic model regarding hormones, common misconceptions about adrenal health, perimenopause, and menopause, adverse childhood events and adrenal health, how lifestyle affects our sex hormones, fibroids, endometriosis, PMS, PMDD, and contraception for perimenopause.
