Show Summary:
“Think back to a time when you felt your healthiest and least likely to develop heart disease or cancer. Chances are, your hormones were at their peak. 80% of health symptoms can be cleared up with optimal hormone levels. Suffering is optional, and prevention is key.”
Navigating the changes that come with aging can be a rollercoaster ride. Our hormones naturally decline, and we're often faced with unexplained weight gain, low libido, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. It can feel like an uphill battle, making it challenging to enjoy the quality of life we deserve.
But here's the truth: you don't have to struggle in silence. These symptoms can easily be resolved by hormone balance and optimization.
In this episode, with Tauscha Johanson, we dive headfirst into the world of hormones and bioidenticals, clearing up common misconceptions and providing you with answers. Learn how your hormones change as you grow older and understand how hormone replacement therapy can help you optimize your hormone health.
By balancing your hormones, you can embrace graceful aging and improve your overall well-being.

Shedding Light on Hormone Health: Addressing PCOS, Endometriosis and Infertility Concerns with Dr. Terri DeNeui
“Insulin resistance causes PCOS, which leads to irregular periods, excessive hair growth, and sometimes infertility. Treatment should address insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances, like progesterone deficiency and thyroid dysfunction, tailored to each person's unique symptoms.”
The world of medicine has long focused on managing diseases and prescribing for symptoms. But what if we could prevent diseases in the first place? That's where hormone health comes in.
Our special guest today is Dr. Terri DeNeui, Founder of Evexias Health Solutions. In this episode, we cover everything you need to know about hormones, bioidenticals, and pellets. We also talk about how to navigate hormonal issues while dealing with PCOS, endometriosis, and infertility. Learn why hormones get a bad rap and how Dr. DeNeui is leading the change to dispel this misinformation.
If optimizing your health, understanding hormone balance, and achieving well-being are priorities for you, then tune in to Episode 83 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!
Make sure to check out Dr. Neui’s book, "Hormone Havoc," for even more invaluable insights, and sign up for Jared Price’s class on Hormone Balance in the links below.
Exceptional Highlights:
- Hormones like testosterone and estrogen are crucial for both men and women. Testosterone can significantly reduce inflammation and support brain health, particularly for women experiencing symptoms like depression and anxiety.
- The symptoms of low thyroid and low testosterone can often overlap. It is important to recognize that thyroid health also influences mood, and it's important to consider it in depression management.
- For young adults in their twenties, addressing diet, nutrition, and gut health is the initial step in managing hormonal issues before considering hormone replacement therapy.
