What losing my period for 8 years taught me | Dr. Whitney McFadden | TEDxSan Diego Studio
What happens when your body shuts down, and no test or prescription can explain why? For years, I searched for answers in medicine, but the real solution came when I finally listened to the whispers of my own body. This talk reveals how tuning into those subtle signals can transform health, identity, and the way we care for ourselves. www.willowmindhealth.com #TEDxSanDiego #TEDx #Healthy #wellbeing #Listen #transform Dr. Whitney McFadden started her career with deep admiration for her father, a passionate psychiatrist, and her mother, an astronomer who instilled in her a love for science. She delved into molecular and cell biology at University of California Berkeley and later pursued medical education to HHUCSD. Driven by a research passion, she completed psychiatry residency alongside a deep study of neuroscience, studying brain cells. After graduating, she worked at Harvard Medical School in the Department of Genetics with Dr. George Church studying genetics neurosciencr. she began to explore nutrition, hormone health, and treatments in the nervous system. She immersed herself in these fields not only for her personal healing, but also to make a profound impact on those around her. After seeing patients transform their own lives with these innovations, she saw a huge opportunity to share with those committed to living their life healthy, powerfully, and passionately. www.willowmindhealth.com This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
