If you’ve followed Dr. Martin for any length of time, you’ll know he refers to women’s hormones as horror-mones. When your levels of estrogen and progesterone go out of balance, “you become too much of a woman,” says Dr. Martin.
In today’s episode, Dr. Martin teaches about the importance of estrogen and your thyroid gland. When you are estrogen dominant, your thyroid slows down.
