Today on The Woman’s Doctor, we discuss a better way to overcome the hormonal imbalance. Dr. Isabella Wentz joins us to review her new book, “Adrenal Transformational Protocol” where she outlines a 4-week process to rebalance hormones, get better sleep, and regain your energy. Women are naturally in tune with their environment. Subconsciously you’re assessing threats, opportunities, and safety which dictate your body's survival strategy. When you are under chronic stress, your body retreats into survival mode. Dr. Wentz teaches you to recognize the danger signals in your life and shows you how to create a sense of safety instead.    In 2009, Dr. Wentz has diagnosed with Hoshimoto’s disease, and at the time hormonal therapy was not an option. She experimented with her lifestyle choices and formulated an easy path to feeling whole again. Every decision you make impacts your health, what you watch, what you eat, and even what you think. Dr. Wentz proves that by managing your stress and your habits, it is possible to bounce back and thrive.   Hormonal imbalances can manifest as mood swings, anxiety, unrefreshed sleep, and severe adrenal fatigue. Dr. Wentz gives you the tools to manage your stress and find joy in your daily life again. Regardless of your diagnosis, her protocol is helping thousands of women feel whole again. Join us as we dissect the root causes of adrenal fatigue and discover simple solutions to reclaiming your joy!     Takeaways:  [3:00] How Dr.Wentz Became the Thyroid Pharmacist [4:45] The Thyroid and Adrenal connection  [7:00] Testing for adrenal dysfunction  [9:00] The Goldilocks level of cortisol  [12:00] Diagnosing adrenal fatigue  [14:30] Adrenal four-week protocol  [17:00] Getting off the blood sugar rollercoaster  [19:20] The healing benefits of joyful activities  [21:40] Why women affected at higher rates [23:00] Combating toxins in your environment     Mentioned in This Episode:  ThyroidPharmacist.com Adrenal Transformation Protocol  Instagram  Facebook    Twitter: "Sometimes for some people, just the blood sugar swings can really stress their adrenals, and can put them in that survival mode, so just doing that nutritional safety signal can shift a lot of symptoms.” [17:28] -Dr. Isabella Wentz   “It has healing benefits when you experience pleasure and you experience joy and oxytocin.
