Hormones, Metabolism & the Truth About GLP-1s | Dr. Caroline Messer

Описание: Hormones, Metabolism & the Truth About GLP-1s | Dr. Caroline Messer

What if the symptoms you’ve been brushing off—fatigue, weight changes, night sweats, anxiety, bone loss—aren’t random… but hormonal?

Dr. Caroline Messer, double board-certified endocrinologist, demystifies the endocrine system and explain how hormones quietly regulate nearly everything: metabolism, mood, reproduction, cholesterol, bone density, and more. Dr. Messer is the co-founder of Fifth Avenue Endocrinology and founder of Well by Messer, a multi-specialty practice with offices across New York and Connecticut.
From thyroid disorders to cortisol myths, from perimenopause confusion to the truth about GLP-1 medications, this conversation cuts through misinformation and replaces fear with understanding.
