Estrogen is a B*tch and so is Breast Implant Illness with Functional Medicine Practitioner, Kate Vazquez
It’s supposed to be healthcare, not sick care.
Our healing journey sometimes feels like it's caught in the web of traditional medical practices. You know, the ones that have shaped our thoughts about staying healthy.
But here's the kicker: in our quest for that genuine, lasting healing, we can totally miss the real reasons behind our health bumps and bruises. It's like they're hiding in plain sight as we're living in an age of quick fixes and those temporary 'feel better now' solutions, which often steal the spotlight.
True healing isn't just about feeling better for a moment; it's about transforming our lives for good. It's about digging deep to discover what's been holding us back and making changes that will resonate through our entire journey.
Seeking out those real solutions, to put in the work, and to uncover the true path to healing. Because when we do, we're not just fixing what's broken; we're unlocking our full potential and creating a life that's healthier, happier, and more vibrant.
And like for many women’s health journey, breast implants and the influence of hormones like estrogen have played significant roles in their health experiences, affecting everything from mood and physical appearance to metabolism and overall wellness.
In this episode, Kate Vazquez, a Functional Medicine Practitioner explores the challenges of estrogen and breast implant illness, sharing how her transition from Western medicine to holistic approaches, along with her experiences with birth control and deep dive into the realm of hormones, has equipped her with invaluable insights into the complexities of women's health.
