Healthy Living Simple with Dr Lisa O

After 20 years and 170 episodes, I'm back. Honest midlife hormone talk. No dismissal. No hype. The best chapter is still ahead.

Author: Dr Lisa Olszewski

Hey there, Rockstar I'm so glad you're here. I'm Dr. Lisa O, a chiropractor, naturopath/ functional medicine practitioner who's spent the last 20 years helping women and men in midlife figure out what's actually happening in their bodies and what to do about it. If you've been told your labs are "fine" but you know something is off the brain fog, the exhaustion, the weight that won't move, the libido that disappeared, the rage you don't recognize this show is for you. We go deep on hormones, the DUTCH test, bioidentical therapy, and the real root causes that conventional medicine often misses. No dismissal. No wellness hype. Just honest medicine from a doctor who's been in practice long enough to know the difference. Welcome back. The best chapter is still ahead. With love and real results, Dr. Lisa O
