In my 20+ years of practicing medicine, I have often found stress levels in my patients to be higher in May - especially for those with school-aged children. The problem with letting all that stress get to you is that higher levels of stress hormones can really MESS with your other hormones! The Stress-Hormone connection is REAL - and it’s a vicious cycle. As I often discuss with my patients, hormones “dance” with one another. When one set of hormones becomes imbalanced - this is likely to wreak havoc on other hormones.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we’re focusing on one of the most common hormone imbalances I see in practice - ESTROGEN DOMINANCE.

There is no pill anybody can take to magically correct estrogen dominance.
