Quotes

• “Many women are wearing bra sizes that are not correct for them, and that’s a huge reason why they have breast pain.”
• “Caffeine makes breast pain worse for a lot of women, and it can take months for that caffeine effect to resolve.”
• “A plant-based estrogen or phytoestrogen is weaker than your body's own estrogen and can help balance either too much or too little estrogen.”
