Hormones 101

In this episode of 'Master Stress with Dr. S,' Dr. Debar dives into the foundations of hormone health, explaining the critical role hormones play in our bodies. She outlines the four major hormonal axes: HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal), HPT (hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid), HPG (hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal), and HPI (hypothalamic-pituitary-insulin) and their respective functions. Dr. S simplifies complex hormonal interactions and provides a framework to understand how imbalances can affect mood, energy, metabolism, and overall well-being. She highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing hormonal symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, and mood swings. The episode emphasizes the interconnectedness of hormonal pathways and lays the groundwork for future episodes that will explore each hormonal axis in detail. Dr. S also shares a case study of a patient to illustrate the practical impact of hormonal imbalances and offers tips on tracking symptoms and supporting hormonal health.
