This week on "Pushing the Limits" I have Clinical Educator from Precision Analytical Dr Kelly Ruef to guest.

• Over the past few weeks we have diving deep into hormones from various aspects and this week it's all about 

• Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy- the pros and cons

• Cortisol production and how it affects everything from cognitive function to mood, to energy and beyond

• Methylation and detox pathways - the why and how of getting hormones out of our bodies after they have done their job

• How to support optimal hormone balance

• Why men need to focus on more than just testosterone and what can happen if you don't have the bigger picture in mind.

• The intricacies of dialing your hormones in and how testing helps. 

• How other factors play a role in hormonal balance - from genetics to environmental toxins to nutrition status

Hormones do just so much in our body, when they are off life can be miserable, get them right and it can slow aging and many age related diseases so it's worth investing the time to understand this admittedly complicated field if you are wanting to optimise your lifespan, performance and health.
