115. The Missing Piece in Hormone Therapy No One Is Talking About with Dr. Nayan Patel

Deskripsi

Hormone health has become one of the most confusing conversations in wellness, and that confusion can change the way you care for your body. Some people avoid HRT completely because they are afraid of it, while others get placed on one-size-fits-all protocols that never fully consider their stress, sleep, lifestyle, labs, symptoms, or what their body is actually asking for. In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I sit down with Dr. Nayan Patel to help you understand how to approach hormone health with more clarity and confidence. We talk about where the fear around hormone therapy comes from, why “normal” is not always the same as optimal, how custom compounding can support more personalized care, and why your doctor, pharmacist, lifestyle, and daily habits all need to work together if you want the treatment to actually support your body. Dr. Nayan Patel is a sought-after pharmacist, wellness expert, and author of The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging, and Increase Energy with the Master Antioxidant. Since 1999, he has worked with physicians to custom-develop patient-specific medication, hormone, and nutrition protocols for celebrities, CEOs, physicians, and high-performing clients. After 11 years of clinical research on glutathione, he developed patented topical glutathione delivery technology, making him one of the most trusted voices on personalized medicine, hormone therapy, and antioxidant support.
