#972: Live Q&A - Perimenopause Hormones, Thyroid Disease & H. Pylori Root Cause Treatment

Teen periods are getting worse — and it's not just "normal hormones." In this episode, Liz and Becca break down why so many girls are dealing with debilitating cramps, acne, mood swings, bloating, and PMDD — and why endocrine disruptors, gut dysfunction, blood sugar crashes, and toxic personal care products are making it so much worse. Learn the difference between PMS and PMDD, how estrogen dominance starts in puberty, why xenoestrogens from everyday products like perfumes, makeup, and cleaning supplies are fueling the problem, and what you can actually do about it — from diet upgrades and supplement support to clean product swaps. Whether you're a mom wanting to help your daughter or a woman who's struggled since her teens, this episode is packed with actionable steps. *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?
