2. My Story

Today I'm sharing my story so you can better understand why I'm so passionate about women's health & hormones.

In this episode, we covered:

  • What it was like growing up
  • My health struggles
  • Side effects I experienced from hormonal birth control
  • Being dismissed by my doctor
  • Advocating for myself
  • My pituitary tumor diagnosis
  • How I discovered functional medicine
  • My transition into perimenopause

  2. The effect of oral contraception on macroprolactin levels in women with macroprolactinemia
  3. Long-Term Management of Prolactinomas
  4. The Relation Between Oral Contraceptive Use and Subsequent Development of Hyperprolactinemia

Claudia Petrilli is a Functional Health Coach, Integrative Nutrition Coach, Women's Health Educator, and creator of The Hormone Rescue program. Having experienced debilitating periods, digestive issues, a sluggish thyroid, a pituitary tumor, and perimenopause symptoms in her late 30s, she knows exactly what it's like to get dismissed by doctors and spend years searching for answers.

After making the decision to advocate for her health years ago and investing in her education, she changed her life. Now, she's changing the lives of countless women by teaching them to advocate for themselves and improve their hormone health, so they can feel and look their best -- in their 40s and beyond! When she's not digging into client cases and learning about women's health, you'll find Claudia with her life partner of 15 years, Mike, and their rescue pup, Dawson, the love of their life.
