207 – Is your hypothalamus out of balance and worsening your pcos? [Podcast with Deborah Maragopoulos]
On today’s episode Dr. Vinu dives into the hypothalamus with functional medicine practitioner Deborah Maragopoulos, known as “the Hormone Queen”. Deborah is an Intuitive Integrative Nurse Practitioner, she bridges together the science of medicine with the art of healing. For the past 30 years, she has focused exclusively on neuro-immune-endocrinology. Through her extensive research and client work, she believes the root cause of disease is the hypothalamus – a small part of the brain that’s responsible for orchestrating the body’s symphony of hormones.
The hypothalamus controls your hormones, your immune system, and your neurotransmitters. It controls your weight setpoint, your metabolism, your temperature, your fertility. It controls your sleep cycles, your stress response, your memory, your moods. Just in the last few years, research has emerged providing evidence that your hypothalamus is at the root of many diseases. PCOS symptoms can be a sign that your hypothalamus is out of balance.
Tune in as they discuss:
- How to heal your hypothalamus
- The role the hypothalamus plays in menopause
- The connection of hypothalamus and fertility
- What are the five pillars for healing
- The challenges of diagnosing hypothalamic issues
