Summary
You have been told that weight gain, crippling anxiety, and hot flashes are just a "normal" part of getting older. But what if your menopausal symptoms are actually a warning sign that your gut and liver are failing to detoxify your body? And what if the unresolved trauma from your childhood is physically aging your ovaries right now? In this episode, nurse practitioner and bestselling author Cynthia Thurlow exposes the clinical realities of perimenopause and menopause. We break down the "Estrobolome"—the hidden collection of gut bacteria responsible for removing estrogen from your body—and explain why common constipation is causing toxic hormones to recirculate and drive estrogen dominance. Cynthia also reveals why millions of women are prescribed synthetic thyroid medications (like Synthroid) that their bodies literally cannot use, and outlines the exact nutritional and supplemental protocols (including Creatine, Magnesium, and Myo-inositol) required to truly repair your endocrine system. Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → http://mybloodwork.com Thank you to our sponsors!
