From Washington - Dr Felice Gersh - Estradiol, the hormon of life
Professor Felice Gersh is an internationally renowned expert in integrative medicine, specializing in hormonal health and women’s well-being. She is a board-certified gynecologist and obstetrician, as well as an accomplished author and sought-after speaker, often emphasizing the importance of hormones like estradiol in women’s health. Estradiol, a form of estrogen, plays a pivotal role in many of Gersh’s research areas. She highlights how this hormone impacts not only reproductive health but also brain function, emotional well-being, and long-term mental health—for both women and men. Estradiol’s interaction with various bodily systems, such as the nervous and immune systems, is a key focus within integrative medicine, which seeks to understand the body as an interconnected whole. During the conference, we had the opportunity to interview her for our podcast. In our conversation, she shared her extensive knowledge about the connection between hormones and mental health, as well as how integrative medicine offers unique tools to enhance well-being in a personalized and holistic way.
