307: Using Naturopathic Medicine to Beat Hormone Imbalance

Welcome to another episode of the Dr. Lo Radio Show! I really enjoyed recording this episode, and I think you will enjoy it as well. 

On this episode, I am actually the one being interviewed by Cynthia Damaskos from the Holistic Christian Life podcast. She is an internationally known health coach with global clients, she helps those who simply want to change their weight and lifestyle, to those with chronic illness. Her background in public speaking, and her passion for living a healthy and Christ-centered life, have propelled her to help others realize their potential. Along with her private coaching practice, she is the author of The Holistic Christian Woman, leads women’s wellness workshops, speaks at conferences, and holds retreats.

We really dive into what hormones actually are because they are way more than just hot flashes. We talk about overactive thyroid, underactive thyroid, adrenal problems, sex hormone changes, and insulin effects on weight loss. We wrap up our conversation by talking about the importance of having a healthy gut. 

If you are listening to this episode and you or someone you know is navigating through any of the health issues we discuss, I would be more than happy to support you in the journey! I work with people virtually and in person in San Diego. Feel free to reach out to me to continue this conversation: @doctor_lo
