Chris Masterjohn, PhD is the Founder and Scientific Director of the mitochondrial test mito.me. Hormones matter, but they are never in charge. Their abnormalities are never the root cause of anything.
All hormones do is communicate the biochemistry of one tissue to the biochemistry of another tissue.
In this episode:
Three Reasons For Hormones to Be Messed Up
Exceptions to the Rule
Leptin, Insulin, and Thyroid Hormone As an Example
How to Approach Hormones
