EP 21. The Mind-Body Connection: How Hormones Affect Mental Health.
44min 29sec
¡Hello and welcome back to a new episode of the podcast! Today I'm going to try to explain the fascinating relationship between the mind and the body, specifically how hormones influence our mental health.
In this episode, you'll understand how our hormones affect our mental health and vice versa (that is: how our mental health affects our hormones and therefore, our physical health and well-being).
Specifically, you'll discover how estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones can have a significant impact on mental health. We'll explore how hormonal imbalances can manifest in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and irritability, and how identifying and treating these imbalances can improve our quality of life.
It doesn't matter if you are a woman or a man, or if you are 23 or 65 years old, this episode will provide you with valuable and practical information to understand how hormones affect your mental health and what actions you can take to maintain optimal balance.
Get ready to dive into the fascinating world of hormones and mental health!

NONE of these are sponsored; I pay for them myself when I buy some brands I use, haha!-Mineral iron: some brands: De Buyer.-Cast iron: Lodge-Enameled cast iron: Le Cruset, Staub-Stainless steel: there are several brands, De Buyer also has them.
