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.
