Understanding what underlies women’s hormonal imbalances, can help us to navigate the complexity. Root causes can vary- but reviewing your: labs, medical history, diet, lifestyle, menstrual cycle, prescriptions, protein intake, stress levels, detox protocols and supplement regimen is a great place to start! If you have any questions, drop them in the comments, and we will get them answered.
