It’s supposed to be healthcare, not sick care. 

Our healing journey sometimes feels like it's caught in the web of traditional medical practices. You know, the ones that have shaped our thoughts about staying healthy.

But here's the kicker: in our quest for that genuine, lasting healing, we can totally miss the real reasons behind our health bumps and bruises. It's like they're hiding in plain sight as we're living in an age of quick fixes and those temporary 'feel better now' solutions, which often steal the spotlight.

And like for many women’s health journey, breast implants and the influence of hormones like estrogen have played significant roles in their health experiences, affecting everything from mood and physical appearance to metabolism and overall wellness.

In this episode, Kate Vazquez, a Functional Medicine Practitioner explores the challenges of estrogen and breast implant illness, sharing how her transition from Western medicine to holistic approaches, along with her experiences with birth control and deep dive into the realm of hormones, has equipped her with invaluable insights into the complexities of women's health.
