For decades, women have been utilizing traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to correct a hormonal imbalance without realizing it could cause even worse side effects than the imbalance it helps correct. Take a listen as Candace Burch takes a deep dive into this topic!
Candace Burch is the founder of Your Hormone Balance and a founding member of Women in Balance, one of the first nonprofits in the country to advocate for women’s hormone health. Her goal is to help people naturally rebalance their hormones to relieve symptoms and restore balance in their lives. Candace has spent the last 30 years as a health educator, journalist, and women’s health advocate raising public awareness about natural hormone health, including lobbying senators on Capitol Hill for safe access to bio-identical alternatives to hormone replacement therapy.
