What you’ll learn:
- Gut Health Impacts Menstrual Health: Parasites, infections, and inflammation in the gut can significantly affect the uterus, leading to pain, blackouts, and other menstrual issues.
- The Vagus Nerve Connection: Inflammation from gut issues or head injuries can disrupt the vagus nerve, triggering vasovagal responses like dizziness, fainting, and vision loss.
- Root Cause Matters: Addressing underlying issues like infections, mold exposure, and inflammation is key to resolving symptoms, rather than solely focusing on hormone management.
Quotes:
"The pain that's associated with gut health is some of the most ungodly pain that you can ever imagine." - Dr. Nicole
