Dr. Taz Bhatia: Setting The Record Straight On Women’s Hormones + What We Need To Know About The 5 Major Hormone Shifts We All Experience

In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Taz Bhatia, an integrative medicine physician and wellness advocate, as we discuss the complexities of women's health and hormones. Dr. Taz unpacks the misinformation that clouds the understanding of women's hormone health, stressing the importance of a holistic approach that goes beyond conventional methods. We touch on the shortcomings of previous research endeavors, challenging the idea of isolating hormone treatment from the broader context of bodily health. Dr. Taz tackles the myths and misconceptions surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and oral contraceptives, providing alternative viewpoints and solutions for achieving hormonal equilibrium. Drawing upon her unique experience with Eastern healing traditions and modern science, Dr. Taz shares her strategies for curating a personalized toolkit to foster hormone balance, including wisdom on the five significant hormone shifts experienced by women. Join us for this empowering conversation designed to arm women with the knowledge and resources to thrive.
