Most people trust their doctor with their hormones. But what if your doctor never actually studied them?
In this episode, Joshua Hudson co-founder and CEO of a 38-location hormone optimization clinic breaks down why primary care doctors, urologists, and even endocrinologists have been getting hormone therapy wrong for decades. One of his providers, a 40-year endocrinologist, admitted it himself.
Joshua Hudson also shares his personal battle with severe Crohn's disease how he lost 50lbs in under 3 months, saw 6 different providers at once, and why having MORE doctors actually made things worse. And what he did instead that led to zero signs of disease on his last colonoscopy.
