In today's episode, we learn that hormones and pregnancy can be fun - when you discuss them with the most entertaining board-certified OBGYN and truthteller I know, Dr. Shweta Patel.

We discuss her books The Book of Hormones The Book of Pregnancy and soon, The Book of Down Under. They  are part of what will be a collection of 4 books she calls The Book Of Her: Series on Women's Health And Wellness.

Dr. Patel was commissioned into the US Navy and served for 13 years as a medical officer. She then moved to Florida and where she provided obstetrical and gynecological care in person, until the pandemic inspired her to create Gaya Wellness-a platform that provides women with virtually comprehensive and convenient healthcare and wellness.  

Today, Dr. Patel will help us better understand the role of hormones in our pregnancies, as well as the the lovely symptoms they can cause. We'll also touch on the importance of nutrition and sleep and their impact on our hormonal health whether we're pregnant or not.
