After three more corrective surgeries, an ostomy bag, and a lifetime’s worth of PTSD, Christine realized that her story was similar to many other women. Today Christine is determined to share this story so that she can help other women get to the root cause of their fibroids and find a solution that works for them. A functional health coach in North Carolina, Christine is here to provide you with natural remedies that you can use to reduce your fibroids, insight into when surgery might be the answer, and help you understand what is going on with your hormones. By connecting the dots between estrogen dominance, fibroids, gut health, and more, you can see how interconnected everything is within your body, and start working to fix your overall hormonal health. So often women are not listened to by the medical field, doctors are not held accountable, and factors such as gut health and stress are overlooked when making big health decisions. Christine wants to empower you so that you can understand what is going on with your body and find less invasive ways to reduce your fibroids, heal your gut, and balance your hormones.
