Dr. Lozinskaya explains how things like stress, gut health issues, and daily habits can throw our hormones and sleep out of balance, which is especially common for women and people with breast implants. Dr. Lozinskaya emphasizes the importance of obtaining the right tests, focusing on nutrition, and making lifestyle adjustments, rather than seeking a quick fix.
