Last Friday I met for 1 ½ hours with Dr. Whitney Gabhart, ND, to review my recent saliva /blood spot test results… Estradiol, Progesterone, Progesterone/Estradiol ratio, Testosterone, DHEA, Cortisol x 4, Free T4, Free T3, TSH, TPO, and Vitamin D…D2, D3, and Total.

I was reminded again of my concern on the recent Oprah shows when Dr. Christiane Northrup commented that the body can convert excess [...]
