Okay so today we’re continuing with our series on dairy and endo, and today we’re taking about hormones.

And I’m going to warn you up front - the research is mixed, and it really comes down to your personal response to dairy. That being said, non-organic dairy can be treated with extra hormones, which may influence our own, so it goes without saying that organic is preferable when possible. Of course, don’t worry about the one offs like an ice cream out or some cream on your dessert in a restaurant, but if you’re regularly eating dairy at home, organic would be a better choice.

I currently having one more space available for one to one coaching. If this is of interest to you, you can reach out on [email protected]
