Insider Secrets to Mastering Metabolism and Hormones with Dr. Patrick Flynn

Have you ever felt misunderstood by your healthcare provider or invisible about your health condition? According to Dr. Patrick Flynn, women have been misled when it comes to their hormones. We have more information than ever, he says, and yet women are getting sicker than ever. In this lively, information-packed episode, JJ talks with Dr. Flynn – a chiropractor, bestselling author, and the founder of The Wellness Way – about optimizing hormones and why the healthcare system often gets information wrong. Dr. Flynn built his practice around achieving the best clinical outcomes by testing for and addressing the cause of dysfunction. Sometimes called The Hormone Whisperer, Dr. Flynn believes many doctors were never taught how a woman's hormones work. Here, he shares why thinking differently is so critical for your health. You’ll hear about Dr. Flynn’s “troubled and hyper” childhood that brought him to education rather than medication, along with a special relationship that shifted his perspective about health. He also shares how food impacts your hormones, a simple but profound analogy about why healthcare lets so many people down, and why bloodwork alone isn’t enough to evaluate women’s hormones. You’ll also learn about how to manage hormones around menopause, the truth about bioidentical hormones, the overlooked superfood that Dr. Flynn says is one of the healthiest food choices, and the number one thing that adversely affects male hormones. Dr. Flynn’s “think different” perspective about hormones and metabolism has helped many people take control of their health and restore their hope and health. Listen up and learn why that approach can help you, too.
