Who Is Dr Brooke?
Hey, I’m Dr Brooke! A pharmacist turned naturopathic and functional medicine doc and a small town Montana girl now living in The Big Apple. I’ve struggled with PCOS and crazy high stress levels, histamine intolerance and a slew of body image issues, low self-esteem and otherwise not being very nice to myself. All of that became the work I do today: helping women resolve their hormone issues and come home to themselves. I teach them how to listen to their hormones instead of hating them, basically be their own best friend.
When you understand what your hormones are trying to tell you, you can stop fighting them. You can feel healthy and happy again. Pretty awesome right? I’m just sorry no one has taught you how to listen to your body, but that changes today.
The women I help are often at the end of their rope, usually exhausted but always overwhelmed and frustrated. I’m often the fourth or fifth provider they’ve seen. They’ve been dismissed or given band-aids by modern medicine and often a slew of supplements and contradicting diet advice from Dr Google or other practitioners, but they lack any cohesive plan or understanding of what their underlying issues are. They’ve tried a lot and it’s all failed, no wonder they are beginning to think it’s all their fault.
But the truth is, medicine and popular nutrition advice have failed women with incredibly common symptoms such as fatigue and depression and with conditions such as PCOS, Hashimoto’s and even menopause. One thing I know for sure is that it’s not your fault.
It’s really not your fault. It is simply that you’ve been given subpar tools to work with hormones you don’t understand.
The absolutely greatest news though is that your hormones talk to you, they give you feedback all day about how they’re doing – you just have to know how to tune in and decipher their signals and then be respectful enough to listen and finally be able do what works for you. I will teach you that.
