Empowered Healing: Discover how addressing root causes and holistic approaches transformed my hormonal health journey at the Riordan Clinic.

In this serene image, a woman with curly hair stands in a sunlit room with her eyes closed, exuding a sense of empowerment and calm. This image symbolizes the profound journey of understanding and addressing hormonal health issues. The article recounts the author’s intricate relationship with her body and hormones, starting from early puberty and progressing through significant weight challenges, motherhood, and the revelation of hormonal imbalances.

Despite active efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle, the author faced unexplained weight gain and later discovered a severe progesterone deficiency through comprehensive blood work at the Riordan Clinic. Opting for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) with progesterone troches brought relief, improved sleep, stabilized moods, and regulated cycles. Further holistic approaches, including nightly castor oil packs and supplements guided by Dr. Dunn, supported the body’s natural healing abilities.

This journey underscores the importance of understanding our bodies, embracing holistic healing methods, and seeking knowledgeable guidance to achieve transformative health. The author reflects on the relief and progress made, grateful for the journey and hopeful for continued improvement.
