Show Notes
Many women struggling with hormonal issues are told to just “take birth control” or “it’s all in your head” - but the reality? They’re missing a critical first step - addressing the foundational principles of health. In this episode, I had a fascinating conversation with Dr. Austin Lake who revealed that bio-identical hormones work initially, but often fail later if the foundational pieces (like, issues on sleep circadian rhythm, gut health & microbiome, and stomach acid) aren’t addressed. The modern approach has completely ignored these basics while pushing pharmaceutical solutions. Fix the foundation first, then consider targeted hormone therapies if needed. Watch the full podcast episode to learn Dr. Austin Lake’s protocol for women’s health optimisation!
