Possible fibroid/thyroid dysfunction predisposition
Thank you for this opportunity, Dr Gabrielle and Dr Heidi. My teen started her period last year at 14 and is having heavy periods. I haven't tested her iron levels but she often complains of dizziness, too. I know lifestyle trumps genetics (and ours is pretty good - optimal protein, clean skincare, organic food, filtered water, no plastic food containers, etc.) but this is a very strong trend with women in my family, including me. Is there anything I can do to help her avoid the fibroids, anaemia and autoimmune thyroid issues I, my mother and aunt have had?
