Hormone Health Hub: Expert Insights on Testing, Balance & Better Living — testosterone

The latest research confirms what Dr. John Lee and Dr. David Zava argued decades ago: maintaining healthy progesterone levels in proper balance with oestrogen is one of the most powerful tools women have for preventing and recovering from breast cancer. This article outlines seven practical steps to restore hormone balance and reduce breast cancer risk.

A landmark study published in Nature confirmed what Dr. John Lee and Dr. David Zava argued over a decade ago: natural progesterone — unlike synthetic progestins — can slow or even shrink ER+/PR+ breast cancer tumours. This article explains the receptor science behind the findings and what it means for women’s hormone health.

The contraceptive pill is one of the most widely used medications in the world — but its effects on mood, brain chemistry and hormone balance are still poorly understood. This article explores how synthetic hormones disrupt oestrogen, progesterone, cortisol and neurotransmitters, and why some women are far more vulnerable to depression and anxiety as a result.

Prostate cancer takes years to develop from a normal cell to a detectable tumour — which means there is a meaningful window for prevention. Three key risk factors are both testable and modifiable: BPA exposure, arsenic accumulation, and catechol oestrogen imbalance. This article explains how each one works and what men can do about it.

Hot flashes and night sweats affect up to 80% of women during perimenopause — but they are not inevitable, and they are not forever. The root cause is hormonal imbalance, particularly the out-of-sync fluctuation of oestrogen and progesterone as the ovaries begin to wind down. Discover the lifestyle changes, natural supplements and hormone testing strategies that can bring real relief.
