112. Fuelling like an athlete, preventing and treating HA, what HRT actually does and dispelling health misinformation with endocrinologist Dr. Izzy Smith

Holistic Health Radio

Dr Izzy Smith is an Australian based Endocrinology Doctor with a passion for sharing health advice that is easy to digest.

Through her work and instagram she regularly promotes evidenced-based advice on exercise, nutrition and medicine whilst busting silly health myths by calling out some of the dangerous fads in the wellness and weight loss industry.

Izzy is a passionate advocate for mental health which includes her role as an ambassador and keynote speaker for the Movember and Puka Up organisations.

She is also a strong advocate for the physical and mental health benefits of exercise and is also the co-host of the mental health podcast Behind the Uniform Podcast .

Her authentic approach to health and wellbeing has lead to a growing presence on social media and influence in the space and I couldn’t be more excited for you guys to listen to our chat today.

In this episode Izzy and I discuss:

• Her passion for fitness and specifically running
• What an endocrinologist does, what conditions they treat and why you might go see one
• How endocrinologists diagnose and treat hypothalamic amenorrhea
• What HRT actually is and how it helps protect bone health
• Busting misinformation in the health and fitness space
• How to advocate for yourself when seeing a doctor and so much more
