The Wellness Mama Podcast

Today’s guest is Dr. Sara Gottfried and this episode goes deep on women, food and hormones. She is such a wealth of knowledge and she is also a personal friend. She is a board-certified physician and practices evidence-based, integrative, precision and functional medicine and we touch on so many different areas today. We talk about new studies on when metabolism actually changes, a better model of health for women and how to reverse the negative diet mindset, why BMI is a poor metric, the reason that hormone-related problems are on the rise right now, and why hormones are more important than calories. We also touch on the most common endocrine abnormalities, why women are more sensitive to stress, how testosterone is the most abundant hormone in the female body (which I didn’t know), and so much more. Such a fun and informative episode as always! Let’s get ready to join Dr. Sara! Episode Highlights With Dr. Sara Gottfried Why doctors are trained to gaslight women about weight and metabolism
