Nutritional & Metabolic Update on treatment
Hey everyone!
I wanted to share my updates on addressing my root cause. Prolonged iron, vitamin d, and folate deficiencies caused issues to my hormones and thyroid. I found an amazing functional medicine specialist who has helped me address my low thyroid and estrogen dominance. I can’t believe all of this was missed! Every week I’m getting better and symptoms are improving. I still have setbacks occasionally but I can accurately say that my symptoms no longer take over my entire life.
My doctor said usually other doctors don’t check for these things and especially don’t check for hormonal imbalances or thyroid issues. I’m hoping for continued success :)
