@drsarubala: The number one thing I hear from women who come to me for heavy periods? “I’ve been constipated since birth.” Nobody tells you these two things are connected. They just say “here’s birth control, or you can get a hysterectomy if you’re desperate enough.” What’s happening? 👇🏾 Your liver tags used up estrogen so it can leave your body through your gut. If you’re not pooping consistently, that tagged estrogen doesn’t exit. It gets reabsorbed straight through your colon, back into circulation. More estrogen recirculating 👉🏾thicker uterine lining every single cycle. A thicker lining 👉🏾 heavier bleeding. Heavy bleeding for years 👉🏾 anemia that never fully corrects, no matter how much iron you’re taking. I’ve had women go from bleeding 15+ days straight down to 7, just from fixing this one pathway, in only 2 cycles. PSA opens soon and this exact pathway is one of the ones we walk through step by.
