Endocrine Disruptors with Ana G. Herrera

In episode #225 of The Hormone P.U.Z.Z.L.E Podcast, our guest Ana G. Herrera talks about Endocrine Disruptors.

More about Ana:

Ana dedicated 15 years of her life to the corporate world, leading and growing well known beauty and wellness corporations worldwide.

In the meantime, she was silently battling Stage IV Endometriosis, a condition that affects 10% of women that is horrendously painful and difficult to deal with. She was in pain 50% of her time with extreme PMS for over a decade, went through 5 surgeries, infertility, and surgical menopause. Severe side effects with hormonal treatments inspired her to start her entrepreneurial journey to fulfill her vision of rethinking the women's wellness space.

Knowing that hormonal wellness is the result of a balanced approach to health and with the naturopathic principles in mind, she launched Glow Botanica, a company that provides a series of effective natural remedies to help achieve hormonal balance by targeting symptoms, not age.

From her personal experience wellness starts from knowledge. Ana also built and launched Hormone University, the first educational platform focused on hormonal health, aiming to not only raise awareness but also empower women to take control over their hormonal health, to be prepared when they step into the doctor's office, and to get their questions answered.

While her businesses are still young, Ana has the ambition to become the beacon of hormonal wellbeing, giving women all the tools to be in control of their hormones and not to be controlled by them.

In episode #219 of The Hormone P.U.Z.Z.L.E Podcast, our guest Liz Bissell talks about PCOS and Your Fertility.

More about Liz:

Liz Bissell is a registered dietitian dedicated to restoring fertility and health in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). She was diagnosed with PCOS many years ago. She was given very little information about the nature of her condition from her provider at the time, other than she might have difficulty having children down the road. She then proceeded with her life without caution. For the following years, she was on and off birth control and had accepted that irregular periods were just part of her everyday life.

Years later, she met her now-husband. They wanted to start a family as quickly as possible after they got married. She promptly went off birth control and was quickly smacked in the face with the reality of trying to understand her menstrual cycle post-birth control and with PCOS. Luckily, her dietetics background came in handy and she dug deep into research to find the most evidence-based nutrition information to best manage PCOS. This sparked a deep-rooted purpose for her to help make this process easier for other women with PCOS like her, which is why she developed Liz Bissell Wellness where she coaches women with PCOS on diet and lifestyle for infertility.

Following the framework she uses with her clients, she has been able to better manage her PCOS and successfully have two beautiful daughters.
