Why Your Doctor Should Be Asking About Your Sex Life and How Intimacy Supports Hormone Balance and Sleep With Dr. Mitch Ghen

Is your wellness routine actually built for your body?

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Mitch Ghen, a functional medicine physician and educator with 44 years of experience, who counts hundreds of physicians among his own patients and has written four medical textbooks.

Dr. Mitch and I talk about why hormones work as a family, how a compounding pharmacy tailors prescriptions to your blood work, and what he looks for when patients arrive with mold exposure, heavy metals, or reactivated Epstein Barr. We also get into his in-or-out list on everything from creatine and keto to cold plunges and saunas.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- Why bioidentical hormones differ from the conjugated estrogens used in older studies

- Why women may need estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone together

- What to ask your practitioner before starting bio identical hormone therapy

- Why estrogen metabolism matters as much as the hormones themselves

- How to spot red flags at med spas and drip bars offering IV therapy

- Why blood work should come before any IV drip or peptide

- Why sexual wellness can support your hormones, stress levels, and sleep

- What to know about zeolite, toxic metals, and everyday toxin exposure

- How to use fermented foods and probiotics to support your gut

- Why a stool analysis may reveal more than a colonoscopy

- What to consider before trying keto, creatine, or intermittent fasting

If you've been searching for hormone balance, advanced integrative medicine, and honest answers about hormone therapy, this episode is your invitation to get to know your own biochemistry.
