Detoxification Support for Healthy Hormones
Supporting the body’s detoxification pathways is crucial for maintaining hormone health. Hormonal imbalances often arise not just from hormone levels themselves but also from how the body metabolizes and eliminates these hormones through stool and urine. A comprehensive approach to hormone health should, therefore, include personalized nutritional and herbal support for these detoxification processes.
For that reason, this protocol is divided into three parts: foundational functional systems (parts I and II), which are key for all women, and individual symptomatic support (part III), which is used on a patient-by-patient basis. All these are combined with exercise, lifestyle, emotional, and other whole-health support.

Part II – Foundational nutrition and hydration support
Personalized nutrition support
In addition to foundational nutrition products listed here, there may be other nutrients (e.g., iron, biotin) required for an individual based on personal characteristics, such as their gene variants, dietary pattern, physical activity, environment, and toxin load.
