049: Dr. Maggie Yu: Hormonal Imbalance Can Wreck Your Health and What To Do About it

Dr. Yu's Mission:

To create radical change and true wellness in my patients through functional medicine, unwavering dedication and the destruction of limiting beliefs.

Her Story:

When she was 38, she discovered a way to reverse the symptoms of her early menopause. You can read the full story here, but the short version is this: standard medical practices, which she calls “factory medicine,” failed her. Doctors couldn’t or wouldn’t put in the time to help her find out the root cause of her health crisis. They wanted to hand her a bottle of pills and move on.

As a doctor, a scientist and a woman, she rejected that. The journey to finding her own cure led her to functional medicine: a personalized, systems-oriented model that empowers the patient to achieve the highest expression of your health by addressing the underlying causes of your problems.

She said no to factory medicine, and has created a practice that welcomes her patients to do the same.
