E264 - How Stress Impacts Our Hormones with Dr. Alex

The last few days have been a little rough, as you can probably tell from my voice, I’ve been sick, but I also haven’t been sleeping well even before I got sick. Really, I can’t remember when the last time was that I slept for 8 hours and woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I’ve had my hormone levels tested and they came back “normal” but I know, something is off and for me, I have to dig down and get to the bottom of things. Ultimately, I think that we all need to be our own health advocates and not rely 100% on our doctors. I am so glad that I was able to connect with today’s guest, Dr. Alexandra Swenson-Ridley, a Health and Hormone Expert for Busy, Driven Women.
