168. Why Your Hormones Are Out of Balance (and How to Fix It)
Send us a textHeavy periods, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility—so many women are told to mask symptoms or remove organs without ever getting a clear why. We invited Dr. Vaughn, a traditional naturopath, to unpack a different path: find the root, relieve the burden, and let the body restore rhythm. From teen cycles and the birth control reflex to menopause and progesterone support, we connect the dots between food, light, toxins, and liver health in a way that’s practical and hopeful.We get specific. Diet shifts do the heavy lifting: an 80 percent base of vegetables and fruit, seasonal eating, steady protein, and a firm break with refined sugar and seed oils can calm inflammation and reduce estrogen dominance. Morning sunlight in your eyes jump-starts hormone cascades, while blue light at night suppresses them. We talk testing that matters—Dutch for steroid hormones, urine and hair for BPA, glyphosate, mold, and metals—so you can stop guessing. Then we map a clear detox plan: far infrared sauna to mobilize, targeted binders to capture biotoxins and chemicals, and smart mineral support so you feel better, not worse.We also dig into local care that’s often ignored. Vaginal ecology can be nourished with probiotic support, antimicrobial herbs, and for some, ozone therapy or yoni steaming to improve circulation and tissue health. Surgery may remove lesions, but it won’t remove causes. That’s why we highlight liver methylation with sulforaphane-rich broccoli extracts, methylated B vitamins, and sulfur sources like MSM, plus the overlooked role of iron—beef liver capsules are a potent ally for estrogen clearance. When needed, progesterone can be a lifesaver in early pregnancy or menopause; used wisely, it supports the body while deeper imbalances are corrected.This conversation is equal parts story and strategy—real turnarounds from crippling cramps to quiet cycles, from long infertility to healthy pregnancies.
