Dr. Corey Schuler, MS, DC, CNS, LN, FAAIM, is both a locally and nationally recognized expert in the field of natural health and metabolism. He is a frequently sought out expert teaching to physicians and other healthcare providers, often interviewed for radio and magazines, and consulted by leaders in the industry. Over the last several years, he has been a featured expert at dozens of medical conferences.

Dr. Schuler is a busy man. That’s the life of a top-notch functional practitioner whose practice is thriving. We were fortunate enough to briefly catch up with Dr. Schuler and pick his brain in between patient visits.

We chat about hormones like ACTH, luteinizing hormone, testosterone, estrogen, DHEA, and cortisol. He also discusses the use adaptogenic herbs like rhodiola, maca, eleuthro, and ashwagandha to help regulate hormonal balance. And seconds before he had to meet with a patient, we dive briefly into oxytocin production when you hug, have sex, or are in love.
