In this episode of The Trillium Show, we pull back the curtain on why the traditional healthcare system is excellent at managing disease, but terrible at creating real health. If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but you still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or stuck, this episode is for you.
Danese Rexroad is the Chief Clinical Officer at Ways2Well, and she specializes in metabolic dysfunction, hormone optimization, and functional medicine. Together, we dig into what’s actually driving chronic illness and what you can do about it.
We cover:
Why metabolic dysfunction is at the root of heart disease, diabetes, dementia, and fatigueThe real role of hormones (estrogen, testosterone, progesterone) in aging and vitalityWhat’s actually happening during perimenopause, and why so many women are dismissedHow toxins like BPA and glyphosate quietly disrupt hormones and metabolismCardio vs. strength training as we age (especially for women)The right—and wrong—way to use GLP‑1 medications without losing muscleWhy health span matters more than lifespan, and how to protect bothThis is not about chasing symptoms or quick fixes. It’s about understanding your body, addressing root causes, and building a plan that keeps you strong, sharp, and active for decades—not just alive.
If you care about hormones, metabolic health, longevity, or feeling better than “fine,” you don’t want to miss this one.
