Leah’s health journey started about 5 years ago when she discovered lumps in one of her breasts. Fortunately, after getting an exam, she was informed she had benign breast tumors.She chose not to have them surgically removed because they reportedly return 90% of the time.After this diagnosis, she began to research, speaking to many doctors, naturopathic doctors, and learned her irregular cycles were connected to these tumors.Her periods were so painful they would make her throw up, if they were actually present, and she also found out she had ovarian cysts.The research into her situation showed that her symptoms were a result of her being extremely estrogen dominant, and at this point, she knew the problem and now just needed to figure out how to solve it.By nourishing her body with loving foods, she was eventually able to heal herself and her tumors started to shrink, ovarian cysts disappeared, her cycles normalized, and she actually had pain-free periods.She soon realized that this situation is not unique to her. And there are SO MANY WOMEN that are having hormonal issues of some sort or another.So she made this her mission. She became a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner and empowers women by showing them how to support their bodies through proper nutrition to effectively balance their hormones.Learn more & connect with Leah:https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/Instagram @leah_bruegBalancing Hormones Naturally Podcast:https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/podcast-------✅CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction06:12 Balancing Hormones Naturally Podcast13:48 Birth Control Impact22:08 Perimenopause MUSTS31:28 Blood Sugar Balance37:54 Mushrooms for hormone balance47:54 Perfection is not the answer54:45 Biohacking with Art - charcoal56:35 Connect with Leah-------About the PodcastYour pain is not a design flaw.Your body is not broken.And you were never meant to white-knuckle your way through a life that doesn't fit.I'm Meredith Ochoa — ANOTHER F#%ING ARTIST.
