Ep. 29 Fix your Hormones with Integrative Medicine
Dr. Elena Alawa, osteopathic board-certified physician in internal medicine, functional medicine, and bioidentical hormone therapy shares tips on how to embrace a natural lifestyle, prioritise gut health, and treat chronic illness in a more holistic way. The idea is not to diss conventional medicine but to integrate holistic and naturopathic medicine. We also discuss the difference in male and female physicians in treating women’s health issues.
Guest Bio:
I suffered with freezing frontal migraines with transitory loss of vision, mood swings rivaling tornados, and panic attacks I have never experienced before. After a neurology evaluation, a brain MRI and many serum tests, I was told that I am probably going through early perimenopause and it’s just ‘normal’ to experience these symptoms, after all, we women are blessed with so many things we are taught to take in stride.
So, I embarked on a personal journey to further my medical training and find out the why’s and the how’s to help my transition. Through the training I received and the skills I acquired, I was able to regain my own self and now, in turn, I am able to help you.
