The Women's Village

In this episode of The Women’s Village podcast, Morgan sits down with hormone specialist and doctor of nursing practice, Dr. Presten Beatty, to talk about something so many women are quietly struggling with: feeling “off,” exhausted, anxious, flat, or unlike themselves—and being told over and over that “everything looks normal.” Dr. Beatty shares how he moved from traditional primary care into hor...
