Gosh it's one thing to really understand a topic, but it's a whole other skillset to be able to explain it simply to people who aren't experts. She's awesome!

She explains things so easily and straightforward I love it ❤

Years of hypoglycemia, no doctor explained insulin resistance as beautifully as her

I never perked up so quick at the mention of “I wrote a book on it”. Then after hearing the title I was instantly like, “Where can I buy this effing book?!”

That comparison between insulin and tired parents is the best analogy I've heard describing how insulin works.

Wired never fail to call in the right people!

I have one PSA about birth control... If you are a woman who is thinking about going on the pill, get a blood test first. Ask your doctor to test for Factor V (5) Leiden and lupus anticoagulant. If you have either of these conditions, BIRTH CONTROL COULD GIVE YOU A BLOOD CLOT. The possibility of a blood clot never even came up in conversation about side effects because it's apparently very rare. It happened to me. A $100 blood test could have prevented a $60,000+ life saving surgery (thank God I have insurance). Turns out I have lupus anticoagulant, which makes me sensitive to estrogen and progesterone. Now I know if I choose to have a baby I will need to be on blood thinners and I'm at higher risk for miscarriage.

I just got diagnosed with PCOS so hearing all this glucose and insulin resistance information is really good timing for me!

Hormonal acne is such a hot topic lately so I'm kind of bummed that this wasn't talked about in this video this is a good video on an important matter but I just hoped we'd get more info and longer explanations

So... the nervous system is kind of like a telephone network, and the endocrine system is like the postal system, right? Except that the postal system brings something directly where it needs to go, whereas the endocrine system puts the message in the blood, confident it will be received by the appropriate party.

A lot of people don't understand that low T in a woman is also dangerous to her health.

This video just reminded me that I need to ask my doctor to check my testosterone levels. I've had suspicions that they might be low for a while.

I always enjoy the expert answering twitter questions videos

I never checked my T levels but a few months ago I was feeling really down in my dead-end job and ... my balls hurt. I got an appointment with the doctor and I found out I had varicoceles strangling my testicles. I had them surgically removed and a couple of months later I quit my job and started a new business of my own. I'm just feeling happier.

Worked for an Endo in Atlanta named Dr. Isaacs. Learned a lot a lot about the endocrine system and how intricate and complicated it is. She explains it so well.
