Have you been told your labs are “normal” even though you know you don’t feel like yourself? In this episode, I sit down with functional medicine practitioner Kristin Kliethermes to talk about the symptoms women are often told to accept as part of aging, from brain fog and anxiety to poor sleep, low energy, and changes in libido. Kristin breaks down the difference between normal and optimal lab results, how your hormones, gut health, and cortisol are connected, and what to know about hormone replacement therapy. We also talk about advocating for yourself when you feel dismissed and why taking care of your health transforms how you show up in your relationships, career, and business. Get ready to understand what your body is telling you and discover how good you can actually feel.
