Episode 110: Teresa Mealy

by | Aug 31, 2022 | Podcast | 0 comments


Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life’s Best Medicine. Teresa Mealy is a family nurse practitioner. She graduated from the University of South Florida in 2004 and started her career in neurology. After going through her own health struggles, she branched out from the corporate medicine model and healed her own body. She decided then to go back to being a student and learn, for the first time, all that was not taught in nursing school. She has been doing BHRT, metabolic health, and functional medicine since 2015. Her practice is based in Springfield, Missouri, although she is licensed in 6 states. She believes people deserve to thrive and not just survive.

Teresa talks with Brian about how hormones saved her life. They also discuss progesterone, the effects of hormonal issues in the context of relationships, treating a hormonally imbalanced menopausal patient, using diet to fix hormonal issues, adrenal fatigue, and the effects of stress and anxiety on hormonal issues. Teresa also talks about testimonies from some of her patients, hormonal health for men versus women, problems with Provera, and the connection between head injuries and low testosterone in men.

Life’s Best Medicine according to Teresa: “Being able to help people change their lives is amazing; watching my kids grow up—now they’re fifteen—is amazing. I love Jesus—that makes me happy—I love nature—that makes me happy. Our family is very close knit. We homeschool our kids so we are really just like this party of four that is really close. That’s what really floats my boat.”

Thank you for listening. Have a blessed day and stay healthy!
