In today’s episode we hear from my Functional Medicine Doctor, Dr. James Howton about the importance of optimal hormones, and the role that hormones play in autoimmunity.

Dr. Howton was an early adopter, using bioidentical hormones in his practice since the mid 1990’s.  We discuss the difference between hormones “in the normal range” and optimal levels, as well as why normalizing our symptoms isn’t to our benefit. Dr. Howton also addresses one of my favorite topics, the importance of mindset on overall health.

Listen to our conversation and make sure you aren’t missing an important piece of your health puzzle.
