You’re welcome to ask about anything you’re navigating - treatment side effects, supplements, diet, or the grey areas where conventional and integrative care overlap.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could ask someone who understands both worlds,” this is your chance. Please note I’ll be sharing general, educational insights, NOT individual medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

There are 2 questions for this edition:

  1. I have ER positive breast cancer and was told I need to be on hormone tablets for at least 5 years but my DUTCH test shows I’m post-menopausal and my estrogen levels are low. Do I still need to be on hormone tablets?

  2. I have constipation with treatment but I don’t want to be dependent on laxatives. What natural alternatives do you recommend?

Great questions! Here’s what I think.
