Ever wondered why your hormones still feel "off" even after trying all the supplements, hormone-balancing tips, and wellness trends?
In this episode, Colleen is sharing why she doesn't typically start with hormone testing like a DUTCH test when women come to me struggling with painful periods, PCOS, endometriosis, PMS, infertility, perimenopause symptoms, bloating, fatigue, anxiety, or mood swings.
Instead, she explains why she almost always begin by looking at two foundational areas: gut health and mineral balance.
We'll talk about why she believes hormones are responders, how your gut plays a critical role in estrogen detoxification, what bacterial imbalances and inflammation can mean for your hormone health, and why minerals are the "spark plugs" that help every system in your body function—including your hormones.
If you've been wondering why your symptoms keep coming back or why you don't feel like yourself anymore, this episode will help you understand the bigger picture and why identifying the root cause matters so much more than guessing.
