How PTSD can effect your health

Dr. Brendan McCarthy

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! It’s estimated that 3.5% of the American population struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) annually. Originally, PTSD was a stand-in for the terms “shell-shock” and “battle fatigue” and typically applied to veterans of wars who returned home with trauma-related symptoms. But we understand now that PTSD can arise from a wide range of stressors aside from war, and it’s twice as likely to affect women as men, but how can it effect your health?

Dr. Brendan McCarthy founded Protea Medical Center in 2002. While he’s been the chief medical officer, Protea has grown and evolved into a dynamic medical center serving the Valley and Central Arizona. A nationally recognized as an expert in hormone replacement therapy, Dr McCarthy s the only instructor in the nation who teaches BioHRT on live patients. Physicians travel to Arizona to take his course and integrate it into their own practices. Besides hormone replacement therapy, Dr. McCarthy has spoken nationally and locally before physicians on topics such as weight loss, infertility, nutritional therapy and more.
