066. Body Dysmorphia: When HORMONES change the way you look at yourself
On todays podcast I welcome back Dr. Allana Polo of @polohealth
We talk all things female hormones and aging bodies. What you need to get checked, what bloodwork would help, and why your body is changing in the first place! We talk of what hormones change and will continue to change as we approach and walk through perimenopause and menopause. To some, this changing time also comes with a major lean on no longer loving or accepting the skin we are in. Body Dysmorphia is not something we only see in the young....it can and does appear at every age.
Tune in today!

Pound A Day Weight Loss Program: How to Lose the Weight and Address your Health & Longevity to Keep it Off with Dr. Allana Polo
Episode 18: Show Notes.
Weight struggles are often linked to other physical or mental difficulties, which is what makes them so challenging to treat. Dr. Allana Polo is a naturopath who runs her own clinic called Polo Health + Longevity Centre. While the clinic offers a range of services, Dr. Polo is especially interested in weight loss. In this episode, we hear more about her background and why she is so passionate about patients advocating for their health. Many people are excluded or ignored by mainstream medicine, so it is vital for them to have somewhere to go. We also hear about Dr. Polo’s pound-a-day weight loss program, where she explains why she developed a regimen that results in such rapid weight loss. Crucially, the program is only supposed to be done for a short period, but seeing results so quickly can help patients stick with more long-term health changes. With more stress and increasingly sedentary lifestyles, it is more important than ever to be proactive about our health. Tune in today to hear more!
