Hormones: The Hidden Secret to Health, Youth, Performance, & Vitality with Dr. Tami Meraglia
- Or listen in:
Greetings, superfriends! Welcome to this week’s show.
Today, I invite you to take a journey into one of my own personal interests – hormones. I spend a lot of time – perhaps too much time – thinking about the various hormones that control my mood, my energy level, my recovery times, and my performance. And after listening to our guest today, I hope you’ll understand why you should, too. Hormones are some of the most important signaling mechanisms our bodies have, and they can make us feel great, healthy, and full of energy, or depressed, overweight, and constantly tired.
My guest today is an expert in all things hormone related. She’s the national bestselling author behind the book “The Hormone Secret.” Through her clinic, the Vitality MediSpa and Wellness center, and her book, she’s helped thousands of people reach optimal health through her unique focus on hormones. She’s also been accepted into Premiere speakers, an honor she shares with such greats as Arnold Schwarzenneger, Bill Clinton, and more.
In this episode, we’re going to discuss what you need to look out for, foods that optimize the ideal hormonal balance, environmental factors to avoid, and much, much more.
So, without any further adieu, let me introduce you guys to Dr. Tami Meraglia.

Thanks, I learned a lot of interesting things in past episodes.
loved th heart and the depth of the conversation. The way that Dr. Metivier shared from his enormous experience and insights was just amazing. Thank you Jonathan for doing this podcast!! 🙂
Great interview with Dr. Greg Wells! He mentioned a doctor from Colorado around the 42:30 point of the podcast, discussing turmeric and black pepper. I couldn’t make out the doctor’s name. Can you provide me with his full name and maybe his website or contact info. Interested in his products.
Thanks,
Rob
I am new here, and learning really fast.
