In this episode, Dr. Patricia Mills tackles a HIGHLY requested topic: the pros and cons of bio-identical hormone therapy for women. This is a big one!

Dr. Patricia goes over the building blocks of hormones and the domino effect of how imbalancing one of your hormones sets off cascading effects on the others. This is essential to understanding the benefits you will gain from hormone therapy on one hand, and knowing what counterbalances or side effects you may be setting in motion. Informing yourself in this aspect is crucial to taking control of your health. You know your body best, it’s time to learn how to listen to it.

Dr. Patricia will also cover everything from birth control pills/patches/injections/IUDS, to progesterone for pregnancy, menstrual/menopausal mayhem as well as what hormone therapy to choose, and what to avoid.

Dr. Patricia ties up this podcast by addressing how bio-identical hormones can play a key role in conceiving and during pregnancy. She also discusses the baseline issues that arise from an unhealthy gut, inflammation from processed foods, dairy, and poor nutrition. Dr. Patricia does acknowledge that nutrition alone may not be enough to make up nutrient deficits, and supplementation may be necessary.

She puts the power in your hands, as it is as important to STOP doing the “wrong things” and START doing the "right things” to take control of your health. There are a host of factors that need to come together in order for you to see results. All of this IS within your power. There is NO DOUBT!
