Colleen is a Chiropractic Doctor who utilizes a functional medicine approach to menstrual cycle and reproductive health challenges. Combining her functional medicine background and her passion for women’s health, Colleen embarked upon her own discovery of healing and reconnection to fertility. She began charting her cycles and completed certification in The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy™ while pursuing continuing education to deepen her understanding of endocrinology, the microbiome, and reproductive health. Before long, she enrolled in Justisse College to become a fertility awareness educator and holistic reproductive healthcare provider. Now, Colleen teaches charting and uses her patient's cycle charts as a valuable diagnostic tool to help women regain their fertility while empowering them with a connection to their cycles and control over their family planning desires. It is her goal to help women have robust fertility, healthy pregnancies, thriving babies, and effective birth control without compromising their health and vitality.
In today’s episode, we focus on sex steroid metabolism & how to support your liver to ensure your hormones are balanced.
