Table of Contents
Hormones are a complex and important topic so I was grateful to have the opportunity to interview America’s Holistic Gynecologist, Dr. Shawn Tassone for the My Child Will Thrive Podcast. I invited Dr. Tassone to share his six-step approach to women’s hormonal imbalances called SHINES and more about his brand new book, “The Hormone Balance Bible.” As Moms under a lot of stress supporting our children to thrive, Dr. Tassone reminds us that “normal isn’t always normal” and while tests and doctors may tell you otherwise, listening to your own body is always the most important.
If you’re curious to learn more about female hormonal imbalances from the best of the best, this episode with Dr. Tassone is full of takeaways that’ll help you on your own journey.
