sensitive to insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. According to the
American Diabetes Association, about 88 million American adults have insulin
resistance, with risk factors including a family history of diabetes, obesity,
physical inactivity, PCOS, and certain other medical conditions.

condition, we invite you to join the conversation and share your experiences
and questions. Together, let's break the silence around PCOS and promote
greater understanding, support, and care for all women affected by this
condition. Thank you for tuning in.

Talk to Dr. Plank about your hormone concerns...

Hi!

Today, women have been taught to fear estrogen but not birth control pills.
This does not make sense to me. Birth control pills contain synthetic estrogen
and progestins that are foreign to the body, have endocrine disruptor effects,
which make blood "thicker" which can lead to blood clots, hypertension and much more.

Also, in this episode...

Synthetic Hormones in Streams and Lakes

These synthetic hormones have been found in
streams and rivers, and they have been shown to have an impact on the
reproductive cycles of fish and other aquatic organisms.

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycle. It is officially diagnosed after a woman has gone a full year without a menstrual period.


Hormone imbalances related to menopause can have a significant impact on a woman's health and well-being. Hormonal changes can also increase a woman's risk for osteoporosis, heart disease, weight gain and other chronic health conditions. Additionally, some women may experience a decline in libido or other sexual changes due to the decrease in estrogen and testosterone levels. It's important for women to be aware of these potential changes and be able to speak to their partner with their concerns that arise during menopause. Consider personalized testing and guidance from a functional nutritionist!
