How estrogen increases free fatty acids and triggers insulin resistance
-
The overlooked connection between thyroid, cortisol, and your cycle
-
What to do if you can’t get the right labs from your doctor
-
What tests actually give you answers—not more questions
-
How to support your hormones without crash dieting or chasing carbs around
-
My go-to tools, supplements, and strategies for PCOS, hormone repair, and metabolic balance
