This episode is brought to you by Essentia and Cozy Earth.\nConventional medicine often fails us when it comes to hormonal imbalances. Hormones aren\u2019t commonly tested, and many of the symptoms of imbalance are written off to aging and never addressed. Our hormones are like a symphony, with each one acting as a specialized instrument to keep our bodies in tune. Unbalanced hormones can lead to impaired mood, poor sleep, memory difficulties, sexual problems, and more. Get your hormones back in balance, and these problems usually disappear.\nIn today\u2019s episode of a new series I\u2019m calling Know Your Numbers, I dive deep into male and female sex hormones. I discuss what you should measure to understand your hormonal health in a whole new way, the difference between conventional and optimal lab ranges, and much more.\xa0\nYou can test your hormonal health with Function Health, a company I co-founded.
