She shares her journey of uncovering hidden parasitic infections, the impact of environmental factors like mold exposure, and the surprising ways they influenced her reproductive health.

What you’ll learn:  

  1. Gut Health Impacts Menstrual Health: Parasites, infections, and inflammation in the gut can significantly affect the uterus, leading to pain, blackouts, and other menstrual issues.
  2. The Vagus Nerve Connection: Inflammation from gut issues or head injuries can disrupt the vagus nerve, triggering vasovagal responses like dizziness, fainting, and vision loss.
  3. Root Cause Matters: Addressing underlying issues like infections, mold exposure, and inflammation is key to resolving symptoms, rather than solely focusing on hormone management.
  4.  Quotes: 

    "The pain that's associated with gut health is some of the most ungodly pain that you can ever imagine." - Dr. Nicole


    "To have a parasite that is two feet big, it has to be in your system for 20 years or longer."- Dr. Nicole
