Q&A with Karen Part 2: Cycling Progesterone Dos and Don'ts, Testosterone Levels for Women, Uterine Growths, Lyme Disease & Mold, Breakthrough Bleeding On HRT, and More!
Today I'm continuing on to part 2 of this Q&A session. We'll hear all sorts of listener-submitted question recordings, starting off with a query about how to properly use HRT for people who have issues such as adenomyosis. Another question leads us into a discussion on using progesterone suppositories and dietary changes, such as adopting a paleo-based diet, to manage these conditions. We then transition to the complexities of hormone therapy amidst challenges like Lyme disease and mold exposure. Later, I'll address the unique challenges faced by breast cancer survivors considering hormone therapy, offering both hormonal and non-hormonal strategies for relief.
