The DUTCH Podcast

In this episode of the DUTCH Podcast, Dr. Andrew Rostenberg shares his perspective on the risks that can arise when environmental estrogens disrupt our natural estrogen balance.  When out of balance, estrogen can impact our physique, how we age, and our overall health. As Dr. Rostenberg explains, due to the inundation of environmental estrogenic influences from sources like heavy metals, mold toxins, and cosmetics, many patients are grappling with endocrine disruptions that affect other systems throughout the body.   Tune in to hear insights into the symptoms of estrogen imbalance in both men and women, and the pivotal role the gallbladder plays in metabolizing estrogen in our bodies. Dr. Rostenberg also emphasizes that our genes don't dictate our fate, and we have plenty of tools available to reduce our environmental exposures and combat the effects of estrogen excess.  Show Notes: Learn more about Dr. Andrew Rostenberg and his Boise, ID clinic: www.redmountainclinic.com  Access his online coaching site:  WellPower where you can also find his book “Your Genius Body” Become a DUTCH provider and profoundly change your patients’ lives through comprehensive hormone testing.  Learn more about the Mastering Functional Hormone Testing Course – free to registered DUTCH providers!  Watch Dr. Andrew Rostenberg on the DUTCH Webinar from August 2022: “The Detox Gene” and Estrogen. Related Articles from the DUTCH Blog  Breast Cancer Risk Factors to Look for on the DUTCH Test Evaluating Estrogen Detoxification to Understand Breast Cancer Risk

Breast health is a topic often overlooked in conventional medicine. In this new episode of the DUTCH Podcast, we don’t shy away from tackling this vital aspect of women's health. Join us as we explore breast health from an integrative perspective with Dr. Lauren Young, ND, a passionate advocate for empowering patients to take control of their health. Traditional medicine often focuses on screening for diseases, but Dr. Young recognizes that many women don't fit the disease model but still require support and guidance. It's all too common for conventional doctors to rule out cancer, and then not have the appropriate tools to address breast pain. There are hormonal, dietary, and structural factors that contribute to breast pain and providers must investigate the root cause using a comprehensive approach. You can't just take a pill! Healing involves examining various components, including diet, genetics, family history, and lifestyle. Join us for this eye-opening conversation with Dr. Lauren Young, ND, as we take a holistic and integrative approach to understanding and improving breast health! Register for this month’s DUTCH Webinar with Dr. Lauren Young!  Breast Health and Hormones: Going Beyond Cancer Prevention Find Dr. Young’s Clinical Practice at www.Ctnaturalhealth.com  Follow Dr. Young’s “Your Health Toolkit” podcast: www.ctnaturalhealth.com/podcast Become a DUTCH provider and profoundly change your patients’ lives through comprehensive hormone testing.  Learn more about the Mastering Functional Hormone Testing Course – free to registered DUTCH providers! Related Articles from the DUTCH Blog   Integrative Support for Patients with Fibrocystic Breasts Breast Cancer, Nutrigenomics, and Estrogen Detoxification
