She outlines the four major hormonal axes: HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal), HPT (hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid), HPG (hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal), and HPI (hypothalamic-pituitary-insulin) and their respective functions. Dr. S simplifies complex hormonal interactions and provides a framework to understand how imbalances can affect mood, energy, metabolism, and overall well-being. She highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing hormonal symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, and mood swings. The episode emphasizes the interconnectedness of hormonal pathways and lays the groundwork for future episodes that will explore each hormonal axis in detail.
