A short YouTube conversation about hormonal regulation and treatments, focusing on thyroid, insulin, cortisol, and sex hormones. Speakers discuss how these hormones—often regulated via the pituitary—affect metabolism and cognitive function, and describe using hormone therapy (testosterone and small thyroid adjustments) to address perimenopausal weight gain and performance.

But thyroid is also very linked to cognitive function.
All of our hormones are.

Your thyroid, it's your.
Insulin, it's all of the hormones that come from the pituitary gland that regulate all of those together. And we look at those.
