126: Fertility Hormones and the Autonomic Nervous System f. Felice Gersh MD
In this episode, we have the pleasure to sit down with special guest Dr. Felice Gersh for an insightful discussion on the intimate connections between fertility hormones, the autonomic nervous system, and optimal health.
Dr. Gersh shares her pioneering perspective on how estradiol and the balance of hormones influence everything from energy production to fertility, pregnancy, and beyond. Together, we explore how these interconnected systems shape a woman's experience through every stage of life, revealing how lifestyle choices set the foundation for vibrant health.
This episode shines a light on fertility, reproductive cycles, and the broader impacts of stress, sleep, diet, and movement. Dr. Gersh explains how modern factors like circadian rhythm disruption, inflammation, and psychological stress can dysregulate both hormonal and autonomic functions, affecting everything from menstrual cycles to menopause. The conversation highlights approachable practices to support well-being, such as cultivating sleep habits, regular exercise, social connection, and integrating powerful tools like guided meditation.
If you're passionate about health optimization or navigating your own wellness journey, this episode is for you. Share it with those in your life who could benefit, and tap into the wisdom shared to upgrade your approach to hormones, stress, fertility, and longevity.
