Today we are launching The Functional Nurse Practitioner podcast and kicking it off with a bang!  The subject of todays episode is estrogen dominance.  Estrogen dominance greatly impacts women of all ages.  What is estrogen dominance?  How do you test for it?  What are common conditions associated with estrogen dominance?  How does this impact your life if you in fact have estrogen dominance?  What can you do if you have estrogen dominance?  In this episode we discuss all things estrogen dominance.

Just a quick disclaimer that this podcast is meant for educational purposes only and is not meant to diagnose or be a substitute for medical advice from your practitioner. I am a practitioner, but not your practitioner.
