Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Robert Whitfield MD describing results from a two-year quiz completed by ~57,000 women. The speaker lists five hormone-related categories (adrenal function, thyroid function, perimenopause, menopause, blood sugar control) and emphasizes that identifying the dominant problem is crucial — often the dominant issue is cortisol/adrenal dysfunction.
You know, it's funny. I have a quiz that I've, I've had out for two years and 57,000 women have completed it. And it's all about your hormones. It's about your adrenal function, thyroid function, perimenopause, menopause, blood sugar control. And it's interesting, you kind of fall into one of those five buckets, right? And I think the big take home message is, what's your dominant problem? Right? Because the reality is, is in most instances, whether somebody's in their 40s, in perimenopause or in their 50s and hit menopause or have a thyroid problem, they always have a cortisol problem.
