I’m sharing my personal journey in this episode through the challenging landscape of breast pain, swelling, and cysts. We’ll discuss the complexities of breast pain, from cyclical and fibrocystic discomfort to hormone replacement therapy-induced pain. You’ll hear the critical role that hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin play in breast health and the importance of hormonal balance. Additionally, I explore how lifestyle factors such as caffeine and iodine deficiency impact breast pain. I’ll provide strategies, including supplementation and dietary changes, to alleviate discomfort and promote better breast health.
