Description
In this week's episode, we're talking with Dr. Dixie Short, a Doctor of Natural Medicine, about hormonal health. Specifically, we're talking about estrogen and cortisol and how we can use food as medicine.
This timely topic was not just great for me (having endured the stress of 12 days of no power, heat or internet) but is also really timely for anyone feeling stress or experiencing hormonal imbalances.
Dr. Dee, as she is affectionately known by her patients, gives great tips we can use to achieve balance. She also wants to give YOU some free stress management resources from her website.
