ADVICE

Switch To Bamboo Toilet Paper

  • Avoid standard store toilet paper because it can contain PFAS, fragrances, bleach, and chemical glues that can transfer to skin.
  • Dr. Stephen Cabral recommends switching to bamboo toilet paper (brand: Reel/Real linked in show resources) and using organic cotton underwear to reduce exposure.
ADVICE

Mill Or Ferment Grain To Reduce Gluten Impact

  • Try milling or using ancient/heritage flours but avoid assuming they solve gluten sensitivity because gliadin remains in wheat.
  • For tolerability, make long-fermented sourdough (flour, water, salt) or use gluten-free flours like oat and buckwheat.
ADVICE

Use Labs And Targeted Supplements For Adrenal Support

  • Support adrenals in perimenopause by running hormone/adrenal labs and using targeted supplements like adrenal energy support plus omega-3s and vitamin D3.
  • Increase dietary sea salt for blood pressure, use activated B complex for MTHFR, consider progesterone herbs or DHEA based on labs, and run additional candida and minerals tests as needed.
