5:42 My Postpartum Hormones Were Wrecked: What the Testing Found & What Finally Fixed It (Part 2)

Part 2 is here and this is where it gets real.

After a year of heavy periods, depleted iron, and being told everything was normal, Jessie finally has answers. She walks through the exact protocol her functional medicine doctor put her on, what it actually did, and what happened after one month. Spoiler: her first normal period in years.

She also breaks down the new protocol based on her Gut Zoomer results - parasites, mold in her gut, leaky gut, low butyrate and why functional medicine keeps changing the plan (and why that's actually the point).

Plus the non-toxic swaps she's made at home: laundry, cookware, water, skincare, sun protection, coffee makers; not sponsored, not affiliated, just what she actually uses and what her own testing confirmed is working.

This one's for the mom who's been told she's fine and knows she's not.

This episode covers:

Functional medicine protocol for postpartum hormones
Gut Zoomer testing & what it actually found
Parasites, mold & leaky gut, what bloodwork missed
The supplements that finally moved the needle
Her first normal period in years (and what it took to get there)
Non-toxic swaps for laundry, cookware, water & skincare
Why "normal range" doesn't mean optimal for you
The Mira device & tracking your own hormone data
Endocrine disruptors, plastics & hormone health
What functional medicine actually looks like in practice
