Gynecologists are often too quick to prescribe the pill or an IUD without discussing some of the potential risks or consequences of using hormonal...

Modern lifestyles filled with nutrient poor diets, chronic stress and little down time can wreak havoc on hormones. Most of my clients come to me with hormonal issues such as HPA axis dysfunction, period irregularities, fertility issues, bad PMS and/or estrogen dominance. Sometimes all the above!
