Most Common Questions About Women's Health and Their Answers with Jenn Pike

Today's episode comes from a recording of a Masterclass session held this past September 10th where I decided to compile all the questions that I am usually asked about women's health and answer them in one event where I talked about PMS, hair loss, acne, waking, heavy menstrual cycles, low sex drive, sleep, headaches, the adrenal thyroid connection and so many other issues that women are dealing with month after month.   We often think that we are alone in this journey, feeling overwhelmed and confused, and during this episode I will show you that this is not true, many women experience the same signs and symptoms and are struggling unnecessarily. There are many resources I am delivering to you in this talk in order for you to achieve the solutions you are seeking and to help you do it in a way that doesn't feel so overwhelming.   Here are the main topics addressed in this episode: ● Signs and symptoms of estrogen dominance. ● Key hormone tests you want to ask for. ● Ask for a full Thyroid panel. ● If your hormones are balanced, is it still safe to take certain supplements? ● DUTCH test. ● Bioidentical hormones. ● How exercise and diet affect progesterone levels. ● When to say goodbye to dairy and/or gluten. ● When to eat. ● The hours of sleep you get are critical for your health. ● Cortisol activity during the night. ● Create stations to yourself. ● Recurrent ovarian cysts and treatment options. ● Treating UTIs naturally and avoiding antibiotics. ● Heavy periods are not normal, you can deal with them. ● Psoriasis postpartum. ● Hypothyroidism and carbs. ● Dealing with low or no testosterone. ● The adrenals are the master key to unlock the weight loss struggle. ● Dealing with lower levels of estrogen. ● Low libido. ● Copper toxicity. Hoping this masterclass has helped you realize that you are not alone and that there is much that can be done for you to feel better. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!
