On this week’s episode of Reset, Renew, Revive, we are joined by Kate Vasquez PAC, she is the co-founder of Radiant Health and the author of Estrogen is a b*tch! After overcoming estrogen dominance induced anxiety, with the use of functional medicine, she developed a guide for women to overcome their own hormonal imbalances.

Our bodies operate on a delicate balance of hormones and in a world that over prescribes birth control, many women are unknowingly dealing with excess estrogen. Estrogen dominance sounds empowering but it may be leading to a slew of health issues including, weight gain, autoimmune diseases and yes…PMS

Women are taught that PMS is a part of life, but Kate is here to tell you that PMS is not normal! In this episode she will show you how to turn your cycle into your superpower! By learning about the 4 distinct phases of your cycle you can empower yourself to build a life that supports your body's needs by anticipating them instead of actively resisting them.

MEMORABLE QUOTES

“Birth control increases a protein called sex hormone binding globulin which then binds up, a lot of sex hormones, but has an affinity for your introgens like testosterone. So that's how it works, it binds up all that testosterone, but the problem is, that when you come off, the sex hormone binding globulin levels are still high and testosterone is low.” [9:12]
