The question isn't which supplements to take—it's whether your body can absorb them. Most traditional supplements fall victim to stomach acid before delivering benefits.

Purality Health's micelle liposomal technology creates a double-layer protective system that shields nutrients from stomach acid destruction while facilitating direct bloodstream absorption—making supplements up to 800% more effective.

For perimenopausal and menopausal patients, I recommend their Vitamin D3 with K2 for bone density and mood regulation, and their exceptional magnesium formula for sleep and muscle tension.

As a physician, I value their commitment to quality: cGMP-compliant facilities, purity testing, and organic, non-GMO ingredients without unnecessary fillers.

“Your normal is different than everybody else’s.”

There’s so much misinformation out there about hormones. The misunderstanding of the Women’s Health Initiative findings did massive damage to women’s health. It basically ruined an entire generation of physicians who now buy into the false narrative on the dangers of hormone replacement.

Today I’m doing a review episode all about my book, The Hormone Balance Bible. I wrote the book not for you to read from cover to cover but so that you can look at the relevant sections as you go through certain stages of your life. In The Hormone Balance Bible, I break down the 12 hormonal archetypes and what to do to start the healing journey for each one.

For this episode, I’m talking about how you can start figuring out which archetype you are, the characteristics of each type, symptoms you might be noticing, the kinds of women I see in my practice for each archetype, and more. Enjoy the episode!

Highlights

• The concept and creation of the Hormone Balance Bible
• How I came up with the twelve hormonal archetypes
• Why it was important to me to include processes with which women could heal themselves
• Archetype #1: The Queen - Estrogen Dominance
• Archetype #2: The Unbalanced Heroine - Progesterone Deficiency
• Archetype #3: The Mother - High Estrogen, Low Progesterone
• Archetype #4: The Wise Woman - Menopause
• Archetype #5: The Workaholic - Excess Cortisol
• Archetype #6: The Saboteur - Low Cortisol
• Archetype #7: The Nun - Low Testosterone
• Archetype #8: The Warrior - High Testosterone
• Archetype #9: The Underdog - Hypothyroidism/Subclinical Hypothyroidism
• Archetype #10: The Overachiever - Hyperthyroidism
• Archetype #11: The Chairwoman - Estrogen Dominance + Excess Cortisol
• Archetype #12: The Philosopher
• The medical system's poor treatment of menopausal women
