Last week, we got into 10 awesome categories of biohacks. This week, we’re going to take one of those categories a little bit deeper — and that is: hormones.
Joining me is Dr. Stephanie Gray to take a deep dive into the connection between hormone optimization and longevity. Stephanie is a clinician deeply credentialed in being able to look at hormones and the influence on our health.
Today, we discuss how we can biohack the influence of hormones in terms of our longevity and quality of living over the long term, her personal story and health wake-up call that made her realize the importance of focusing on hormones within her work, and the power of simple lifestyle changes that we all can make.
This episode is deeply relevant for all of us that want to live a longer, higher quality life — which should be all of us! I can’t wait for you to tune into this conversation with Dr. Stephanie Gray!

BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women
Scientifically Supported Ingredients | Support, Not Replacement | Non-GMO
Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation into my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics. Learn more or order the products yourself by visiting BadassFuel.com!
