Takeaways
- Low AMH levels can be improved through various methods, such as taking antioxidants, doing acupuncture, and optimizing thyroid function.
- High LDL and total cholesterol can be influenced by factors like genetics, constipation, and low thyroid function.
- Period color and flow can indicate hormone imbalances, with light flow potentially indicating low estrogen and heavy flow potentially indicating high estrogen.
- Egg white cervical mucus is important for fertility, and its absence can be caused by low estrogen, lack of ovulation, or other factors.
- Optimizing estrogen levels can be achieved through a balanced diet, supporting egg quality, and addressing adrenal function.
- Insulin resistance and PCOS are related but not the same, with insulin resistance being a blood sugar issue and PCOS being a syndrome with metabolic and hormonal imbalances.
- Eating a bigger breakfast and lighter dinner can be effective for weight loss with PCOS, but it's important to focus on nutrient-dense foods and consider other factors beyond meal timing.
- An upcoming download will provide comprehensive information on optimal hormone levels for fertility testing and how to advocate for your own health.
- Sharing the podcast and leaving reviews can help others discover valuable information about hormone health.
