Are you tired of feeling dismissed by doctors when you know something isn’t right? 

Do you feel like your mood swings, fatigue, or sleepless nights might be hormone-related, but no one is listening? 

What if there’s a better way to get answers and take control of your health?

In this episode of The Courage To Be™, Dr. Ellenita Salko shares her personal journey from chiropractor to functional medicine practitioner. She opens up about her struggles with fibroids, thyroid issues, and perimenopause, detailing how she eventually opted for a hysterectomy to improve her quality of life. One powerful story she shares is about experiencing blood clots caused by birth control pills, which led to mini strokes early in her life—a life-changing moment that shaped her commitment to holistic healthcare.

Dr. Elle explains the importance of testing hormone levels through tools like the Dutch test, discusses hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and provides practical tips for managing midlife health changes through diet, sleep, and stress management. 

Whether you're curious about hormone health, struggling with unexplained symptoms, or interested in a more holistic approach to wellness, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you feel your best.
