@Inga-55 you can ask your doctor to run a sex hormone panel which includes estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA.
Regarding flaxseeds. Any brand will do – ideally organic and whole (not ground). It’s better to grind a small batch at a time yourself and keep the rest of the ground flaxseed in a sealed jar in the fridge.

Hi @LAK – to avoid having you repeat yourself, can you please link the previous thread discussion we had so I can refresh my memory about your case. Additionally, I have a few follow-up questions:
- When were these tests taken in your cycle?
- How long after starting supplementation did you have your blood drawn?
- How long have you been supplementing…

Hi @Inga-55 – no not at all! I definitely would not want to be putting PEGs in my vagina which are likely derived from formaldehyde which is cancer causing. Same with pheoxyethanol which can be a carcinogen, endocrine disruptor, allergen or skin microbiome disruptor.
Your question is timely because I’m working on a protocol for vaginal…

Vitamin B supplements while nursing
Hi @Annie – I would actually want to investigate liver / gallbladder health and fatty acid status first and foremost.

Vitamin D for three year old and one year old
Hi @Annie – there are many variables to consider when it comes to increasing vitamin D levels from sun exposure; amount of skin showing, color of skin, age, geographical location, UV index, time of day, weather, duration, etc.
That’s why I really love the D minder app to help track vitamin D intake. It accounts for all of these variables so…

@healthyliving99 I would personally look for a doctor who could write a medical exemption because if a vaccine is not medically appropriate due to a specific health condition or for moral/religious reasons, a civil surgeon can certify this exemption and annotate the form I-693. Here’s what it says on the USCIS.org website:

Hi @healthyliving99 – may I ask where you’re immigrating to? As far as I’m aware, flu and covid boosters are not mandatory vaccines. Same with Tdap for adults.

@adoobeh99 it’s generally very safe to be taken with other supplements. Are you concerned about a particular supplement?
Have you seen our liver/gallbladder support video from the Gut Health Masterclass? You’ll learn that in addition to d-limonene, taurine and phosphatidyl choline can be helpful additions in cases where D-limonene was not enough…

Hello @adoobeh99 – d-limonene is indeed a wonderful component of citrus extract that can help decongest the biliary tract and has also been clinically proven to dissolve cholesterol-based gallstones. If you like to read literature, you can start with these:
