Starting with a focus on gut health, my career journey transitioned from herbalism and nutrition to addressing my own issues with infertility. This path led to my podcast and a role as a health journalist. In this journey, I connected with Ona, creator of Ona's natural plant-based progesterone, she joined my Estrogen Dominance Support Group on Facebook. Originally a small community, our group, with a few thousand members, provided a platform for us to support Ona’s endeavors and to address the needs of women, like herself, facing hormonal challenges such as catamenial epilepsy. Her commitment resulted in a bio-identical product with clean ingredients and varying strengths.
Following Ona's entry into the group, Pharmacist Carol Petersen, a member of the Medical Advisory Board for the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research (CeMCOR.ca), joined. With extensive experience as a compounding pharmacist, Carol has spent decades assisting patients in enhancing their quality of life through bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.
We did a podcast together called “when women don’t like progesterone” you can listen HERE, named after a popular blog article she wrote which you can see HERE.
