Check out this 2024 study linking hydrogen sulfide from gut dysbiosis to GLP-1 deficiency and insulin resistance.

In most cases, it's best to wait and start progesterone AFTER ovulation. Which in a 35-day cycle would be around day 21.

I discuss fibroid embolization in my book Hormone Repair Manual. In general, I think it is a good option. As far as I know, the materials used in the beads are non-toxic.

Hi Karla,

I included a big "fixing your gut" section in my new book. Did that answer your questions?

Good question about Lipotrex. It's a good combination, but you'll need a big dose.
One scoop provides taurine 500 mg, glycine 450 mg, of inositol 350 mg. Compared to the (3000 mg, 3000 mg, and 6000 mg) that I talk about in the book.

Hormone therapy can be appropriate for older women in some circumstances. Best to work with your doctor. In the US, qualified naturopathic doctors can be found on the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians website.

Post-menstrual symptoms can be from iron deficiency.

In general, it's okay to combine an antihistamine with P5P.

Progesterone and magnesium can be taken at the same time.

Have you been tested for thyroid antibodies? Because positive thyroid antibodies (even with normal TSH) can be associated with hypothyroid symptoms, including spotting. See the thyroid discussion in my books.

Of course, there could be other factors.
