E. 123 6 Reasons Doctors Misdiagnose Women’s Hormonal Issues

from Self-Selecting · host Cory Hageman

In this episode, I uncover the six biggest reasons women’s hormones are still misunderstood — from outdated medical research and bias to the lack of continuing education in women’s health. I explain how historical exclusion from studies, undertraining in medical schools, and systemic healthcare issues have created a gap that continues to harm women today.If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” or handed birth control as a fix-all, this episode will help you understand the truth behind why it happens — and how to advocate for your health.Timestamps:- [00:00 – 00:44] – Introduction: Why women’s hormonal health is still misunderstood - [00:45 – 01:51] – Reason #1: Historical lack of research- [01:52 – 04:40] – Reason #2: Medical training and outdated textbooks- [04:41 – 06:07] – The menstrual cycle isn’t just about periods- [06:08 – 09:57] – Reason #3: Poor understanding of TRT, birth control, and hormonal timing- [09:58 – 10:40] – Reason #4: Bias and dismissal in medicine- [10:41 – 12:18] – Reason #5: Lack of continuing education- [12:19 – 13:24] – Reason #6: Systemic and structural barriers- [13:25 – 14:56] – Synthetic vs. bioidentical hormones- [14:57 – 16:03] – Final thoughtsLinks & Resources:https://coryfit.com/⁠Coaching: Let's Chat⁠https://calendly.com/coryfit-coaching/15min⁠Consults: Book a Call⁠https://calendly.com/coryfit-coaching/one-time-consultationFor more content, follow along:⁠Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/cory_fit/⁠Patreon⁠: https://patreon.com/CoryFit?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
