Hormones are some of the most confusing aspects of human physiology. Due to their complexity a lot of psuedoscience and misinformation surrounds them giving rise to pervasive false ideas about what hormones are and what they do. Well, luckily medicine has an entire field dedicated to hormones in endocrinology! However, Dr. Karl Nadolsky is not only an endocrinologist but also holds board certification in internal medicine and obesity medicine on top of being a board certified endocrinologist. Furthermore, he is a doctor that definitely lifts and a huge proponent of resistance training and fitness in general as a part of a health lifestyle.

In this episode, we discuss Dr. Nadolsky's background in athletics, the field of endocrinology as a whole, obesity, diabetes, and "hormonal dysfunction." There was a lot to go over in this episode including the foundations of obesity and diabetes as well as dispelling many of the common myths out there regarding hormones. We hope you enjoy this episode!
