Deborah Maragopoulos is an intuitive, integrative family nurse practitioner who has spent over thirty years blending the Science of Medicine with the Art of Healing to help thousands of people heal from a variety of symptoms and thrive by treating their hypothalamus. Specializing in neuro-immune endocrinology, Deborah focuses on optimizing the function of the hypothalamus – the maestro of the symphony of hormones. She is the author of several books, including her latest, “The Hypothalamus Handbook,” which outlines the steps people can take to start healing their hypothalamus on their own. Known as the Hormone Queen®, she’s made it her mission to help everyone balance their hormones and live optimally – no matter their age!

In this episode, Deborah and I talk about the pivotal role of the hypothalamus in regulating reproductive functions, metabolism, and hormonal balance, the often-overlooked connection between hypothalamic dysfunction and various health issues, the role of the hypothalamus in fertility and reproductive health, testing for hypothalamic dysfunction, practical strategies for supporting hypothalamic health, and more. Enjoy the episode!
