How I Can Help You Balance Hormones
Gut Healing
It all begins in the gut. When your gut lining and microbiome (communities of bacteria) are impaired, the gut bacteria that metabolize estrogens is affected. We will work together using lifestyle treatments, such as better sleep, gut-healing foods, exercise, stress management, probiotics and supplements where appropriate.
