Hormones & Mental Health w Dr. Lauren LaRose
Today at Health Youniversity we're exploring the critical connection between hormonal health and mental well-being.
Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Dr. Lauren LaRose, a board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist who practices integrative psychiatry in the New Orleans area. Dr. LaRose shares her deeply personal journey with hormonal imbalances that began at age 11 and profoundly impacted both her fertility and mental health for decades.
From suffering through 15 years on birth control that caused anhedonia (the inability to feel pleasure) and depressive symptoms, to experiencing two devastating miscarriages before discovering a simple progesterone deficiency, to finally being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroidism after multiple doctors dismissed her symptoms—Dr. LaRose's story illuminates why conventional medicine often falls short when it comes to hormone health.
Now, as a psychiatrist treating adolescent girls and women, Dr. LaRose has transformed her practice. Instead of defaulting to birth control or psychiatric medications alone, she educates patients and parents about how hormone imbalances affect neurochemical levels and manifest as mood disorders. She helps identify cyclical mood patterns, collaborates with functional medicine practitioners, and empowers patients to address root causes rather than masking symptoms.
This episode is essential for adolescent girls and women experiencing mood swings around their cycles, anyone struggling with anxiety or depression alongside period problems, parents of teenage daughters facing mental health challenges, women dealing with infertility and mood symptoms, and healthcare providers seeking a more integrative approach to mental health.
