Summary
Have you been diagnosed with estrogen dominance recently - and your doctor recommended taking birth control to control it, but you're wondering WHY your estrogen is high to begin with? Or, do you have no testing confirming that you have high estrogen, but you're suspicious you may have it based on your symptoms? And, you're wondering how you can naturally balance your hormones again? Or, have you tried to take supplements or do things to balance your hormones, but nothing has worked, and you're wondering WHY your hormones just won't get balanced? If you said "yes" to any of these questions - this episode is for you. Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are.
