In this episode Rebecca chats with Dr. Thara Vayali, a naturopathic doctor based in Canada and co-founder of Hey Freya, and they cover a lot. They compare notes from each of their experiences and expertise covering topics like: thyroid function and estrogen, hypo and hyperthyroidism, hashimotos, iron deficiency, stress, cortisol, and the adrenals. They also cover the importance of knowing your family history and being able to tell your own story to your provider, estrogen dominance, and how to create balance. They also talk about seed cycling, vitamin D as a hormone, what happens when we get too hyper-focused on one symptom, and how to approach your doctor about possible perimenopause symptoms.
