Show Notes
Guest: Dr. Tara Scott
In this episode, our guest Dr. Tara Scott, known on Instagram and TikTok as the Hormone Guru and founder of Revitalize Medical Group, talks with our host Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., about the connection between today’s stress and hormones. She addresses important questions: Is stress accumulation contributing to hormonal imbalances and depression in teenage girls, infertility and menopausal problems in women, or causing low testosterone in men? Is there a link between stress and endocrine imbalances in insulin, glucose, thyroid, or cortisol levels? Should physicians do more to include stress assessments during hormone balance evaluations?
Dr. Scott shares with us her answers to these questions and how she works with patients to get the right tools to help them rebalance their hormones. “Don’t wait until you’re having chronic health issues,” says Dr. Scott. She wants people listening to hear that addressing stress and hormonal health is a priority. She offers suggestions for better protecting yourself now from stress-related diseases you could otherwise face later in life — and why heart-based techniques such as those offered by HeartMath® are a key part of her practice.
The episode closes with a heart meditation to help increase our heart rhythm coherence and synchronize the rhythms of our heart and brain by radiating love throughout the body. This can support our awareness of self-care, health, and self-empowerment.
About our guest:
Dr. Tara Scott first became involved with hormone and integrative medicine while practicing as an OB-GYN. Her empathy for patients experiencing hormone-related issues led her to become trained and certified by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. The evidence-based practices she employed helped many patients conquer chronic wellness issues, and word quickly spread. It soon became clear that a practice devoted strictly to evidence-based regenerative medicine, highly focused on hormone-related issues, was needed in the medical community. Revitalize Medical Group was born. Dr. Scott is passionate about educating the medical community on the advances in evidence-based hormone therapy. She is a national speaker on the subject and has an extensive list of credentials, which include being a member of the Fellowship of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG) and a member of the Fellowship in Anti-Aging, Regenerative and Functional Medicine (FAAFM).
