Jessica Liggero, HHP, FDNP and SIBO Practitioner, of Rebalance Your Routine, recently completed coursework from Quicksilver Scientific Institute for using Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy in her practice. She now offers functional lab testing, including hormone testing through either saliva or dried urine. 

Individualized protocols are created from functional lab results in combination with symptoms and focus on balancing hormones, improving gut health and supporting detoxification. In addition, for peri- and post-menopausal women, supplementing with bio-identical hormones can also be helpful for pre-menopausal women to help combat debilitating PMS, painful cramps, irregular periods and symptoms of estrogen dominance. As there’s a bi-directional relationship between hormones and gut health, it’s essential to keep both balanced for optimal wellness and weight management. 

By 2025, it’s estimated there’ll be 1.1 billion menopausal women globally with little to no guidance on how to best support their bodies while going through this major transition. It’s also noted that many women are experiencing imbalances in hormones at a younger age with the early onset of peri-menopause on the rise.
