What you’ll learn:  

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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

"To have a parasite that is two feet big, it has to be in your system for 20 years or longer."- Dr. Nicole
