Christian Elliot: The Myth of "Unbalanced Hormones" + 7 Related Misinterpretations of Your Symptoms
Manage episode 517921384 series 3479155
Have you ever had your symptoms blamed on “unbalanced hormones” and you were then offered a cream, a pill, patch, or implanted pellet? In this episode, I pull back the curtain on one of healthcare’s favorite narrative constructs and make a different case: Your hormones are not "unbalanced." They are responding to your situation, not rebelling against you. Intervening with hormones doesn't correct a problem, it masks one and CREATES an imbalance.
I detail how “test don’t guess” is a clever sales funnel, and I walk through why lab diagnostics mislead and disempower you. I also do what most doctors never do and show you what REAL informed consent looks like for various hormones like thyroid meds, cortisone, prednisone, progesterone, and so-called "bioidenticals."
Then I pivot from critique to craft: I outline a practical plan to heal your body starting with digestion, microbiome diversity, and liver-gallbladder flow. You’ll hear how open exits, mineralized hydration, quality fats, bitters, walking, earlier nights, and structured fasting re-sensitize hormonal signaling without creating glandular atrophy or traumatizing your endocrine system.
After that, I show will you seven related ways the medical system misinterprets your symptoms. I talk about tumors as containment, autoimmunity as targeted cleanup, obesity as protection when exits are clogged, cholesterol as repair and hormone substrate, colds as unscheduled detox, hot flashes as a post-menopause heat valve, and erectile problems as a health barometer. I tell a real client win—heavy bleeding reversed, eczema reversed, and surgery canceled—showing how first principles beat whack-a-mole protocols. I wrap up with a call to replace the phrase "Medical Doctor" with "Allopathic Doctor" and I make a case that so-called "conventional" medicine is morally bankrupt and ethically constipated. There is a better way!
If you’re ready to swap symptom management for stewardship, this is your map. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s stuck on the testing treadmill of accelerated decline and leave a review with one belief you’re letting go and one habit you’ll add this week.
