ADVICE

Hormones Can Increase Fluid Retention

  • Estrogen and progesterone therapy don't directly worsen true lymphedema but can increase fluid retention and make swelling appear worse.
  • If lymphatic blockage exists, focus on lymphatic drainage methods like dry brushing, sauna, rebounding, and liver detox support.
ADVICE

Treat PCOS By Testing And Lifestyle First

  • Use medications like metformin only when necessary while prioritizing lifestyle measures for PCOS such as diet, stress reduction, and exercise.
  • Run comprehensive testing (Big Five or stress/mood/metabolism panels) to find root causes including vitamin D, adrenal function, and thyroid status.
ADVICE

Start With Gut, Then Local Oral Care

  • When addressing chronic bad breath, rule out gut issues and finish comprehensive gut protocols before moving local treatments.
  • Add oral care measures like oil pulling and improved dental hygiene while ensuring no parasites or H. pylori remain.
