The impact of testosterone levels in men. And how diet and lifestyle impact fertility and menstruation in women.<\/p>\n<p>We examine how left unchecked, hormone imbalances can lead to everything from autoimmune diseases, hyperthyroidism, adrenal fatigue, depression and anxiety.

Most would be surprised to learn that certain maladies &#8212; including infertility, menstrual cramps, weight gain, hair loss, breast and prostate cancer, hot flashes, and many others &#8212; have one thing in common: they are fueled or influenced by hormones hiding in everyday foods.<\/p>\n<p>The good (and surprising) news is that proper nutrition can also help restore endocrine balance, often with benefits that rival popular medications.<\/p>\n<p>To provide insight on how hormones wreak havoc on the body, and how specific diet and lifestyle changes can help alleviate\u00a0years of stress, pain and illness, I&#8217;m joined today by my friend <strong>Neal Barnard, MD.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Making this third appearance on the podcast (check episodes <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/richroll242\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#242<\/a>\u00a0\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richroll.com\/podcast\/neal-barnard-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#296<\/a>), Dr. Barnard is a pre-eminent authority on diet, nutrition and its impact on illnesses such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer\u2019s.
