Why Estrogen Dominance Is Important When You Are TTC

Kate Vazquez join us today as we're digging into estrogen dominance and why it matters if you are TTC.

If you are experiencing irregular periods, PMS, cramps, weight gain, or fatigue it may be estrogen dominance.

We work with couples that have low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, and premature ovarian insufficiency and even though in these cases estrogen may be low there could still be estrogen dominance.

Not addressing estrogen dominance has consequences for your health and fertility.

Today I'm excited to welcome Kate Vazquez to the podcast. Kate is a Functional Medicine Physician Assistant, Estrogen Dominance Expert, founder of Radiant Health, and Author of the book Estrogen Is A B*tch.

In this episode you'll learn:

1) What is estrogen dominance and why does it matter when you are TTC

2) How does estrogen get imbalanced and how do we address the underlying healing opportunities

3) What are the consequences of not addressing estrogen dominance

4) What are some strategies we can implement right now to help with estrogen dominance

However, to reassure you – on this call we won't be digging into the trauma associated with infertility/miscarriage/loss – rather we are focused on solutions and an ACTION PLAN as to how our Fab Fertile Method can help you get pregnant naturally.
