Hey, everybody, welcome to this week's episode of Red Pillar Healthcast. My name is Dr. Charlie Faganholtz here with

Lauren Johnson. And we're going to talk about hormones this week. And we've done some hormone stuff in the past.

And we thought it'd be a good time. Similar to what we do with our, when we talked about vaccines,

just kind of a recap or an update, so to speak, and just

genuine conversation on hormonal issues. Lauren was saying she gets a ton of questions

specifically on certain areas of hormones. So we thought that we would just kind of lay that out

and see where the combo takes us. So Lauren, what do you want to start to talk about with hormones?

Well, I think the biggest problem with hormones today is estrogen. And we can talk about

why that is. We can talk about the fake estrogens that are everywhere. And then we can talk about

the chemicals like phallates and plastics. then we can talk about the chemicals like fallates and plastics.

We could also talk about pesticides that like glyphosate, that impact our estrogen.

There are so many things that are driving up estrogen levels in our country.

I mean, in this world, like in this world of modern living, there are so many, um,

and things that drive up our estrogen.

And this is the number one issue we see with most women, right?

What you say, the estrogen dominance is, is most, the most common hormone imbalance we see.

Yeah.

You know, it's tough to say the most common because technically insulin is a hormone as well.

Oh, well, okay.

You know, like insulin and obviously cortisol, but like I would say that insulin, cortisol and

estrogen are on like a teeter totter.

Yeah.
