I know you all love our Ask the Doctor episodes—we’ve got ones on longevity, happiness, anxiety, gut health, and more—so this is sort of in that vein, but a bit different.

I’ve invited back Dr. Aviva Romm, who was on the Ask the Doctor: Hormone Edition, to do a hormone Q&A. Aviva is my absolute favorite resource for hormone expertise—she’s a Yale-trained MD AND a midwife and herbalist, plus she’s the best-selling author of many books, including her most recent, Hormone Intelligence, which we discuss in this episode.

For the Ask the Doctor episode, we covered a larger overview of hormones, so for this Q&A, I decided to go SUPER pragmatic and actionable, and basically used it as an opportunity to have her solve all of your hormonally-based problems. We talk about:

Why being hormonal is actually your superpower
The hormonal causes of and solutions for belly fat, insomnia, hair loss, low energy, acne, migraines, PMS, and more
Her thoughts on the best way to “detox” your body
How snacking impacts our hormone health
What causes PCOS, how to know if you have it, and how she approaches treating it
What causes endometriosis, how to know if you have it, and how she approaches treating it
How our guts impact our hormones, our hormones impact our guts—and how to balance both
Her easy formula for optimal hormone health

We’d both love to hear from you as you’re listening, so screenshot and tag me—I’m @lizmoody—and @dr.avivaromm and tell us what you’re learning or thinking about. And if you want more hormone info, don’t forget to check out the Ask the Doctor: Hormone edition, which will give you even more background and information on your hormones .
