On today’s podcast, we welcome the PROFOUND, Dr. Feice Gersh.
I’ve followed Dr. Gersh’s research around women’s hormones, PCOS and now her incredible insights around the relationship between Estrogen and the Endocannabinoid System.
Many women are lost in their journey of hormone health, but more than anything the beauty of living in the alignment of our circadian rhythms that help our endocrine and fertility (no matter if you want a baby or - not) in balance.
While taking CBD or Marijuana may seem like an easy - hit answer, it may not be. Specifically when we talk about Marijuana. Dr. Gersh does an incredible job of weaving together what we now “newly” know about the Endocannabinoid System, and it’s critical importance as it works with estrogen, our microbiome, bone health, mental health and so much more.
I’ve owned an organic salon for over 15 years, create my own natural product line and love educating women about the importance of hormone health with a functional medicine perspective - so Felice and my passion for women are in alignment. Especially for young women and their growing daughters.
