The Hidden Power of Your Hormonal Girl Gang - Part 1 | Dr. Mindy Pelz

In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in health challenges faced by women, ranging from metabolic issues to autoimmune conditions like PCOS and Hashimoto’s. These issues underscore the inadequacy of traditional healthcare systems, which often fail to address women’s unique health needs.

Decades ago, women's health issues were often treatable with a few simple interventions. Today, women routinely present with a complex mix of symptoms such as hormonal imbalances, metabolic disorders, and autoimmune diseases, typically unresolved by conventional medicine.

There is a growing dissatisfaction with the generic approach of conventional healthcare. Many women find themselves trapped in endless cycles of doctor visits with little to no resolution, often dismissed or misdiagnosed.

Now more than ever, women are turning to holistic approaches, focusing on lifestyle changes to regain health. This includes mastering essential health indicators through diet, exercise, and community involvement rather than relying solely on medication.

A significant part of improving women's health lies in understanding and managing metabolic health, starting with indicators like hemoglobin A1c levels, liver enzymes, and cholesterol. Identifying and eliminating pollution in dietary choices, such as chemicals known as obesogens, can help manage weight and hormonal fluctuations.

Creating communities for women to discuss and share experiences amplifies the learning and support needed for combating these issues. Now more than ever, women supporting women can lead to systemic changes and personal empowerment in managing health concerns uniquely experienced by women.

Despite the overwhelming challenge of being ‘disregulated’, through strategic, lifestyle-informed choices, it's possible for women to pave new paths in health that don’t merely patch symptoms but address their root causes.

"Our Health Care system is sitting there with their arms crossed, not listening to us."

In the end, understanding that today more than before, we are responsible for our own health can be the most empowering step women take as they walk away from a disregulative mindset and move towards holistic, self-sustained health alternatives.
