“My mom had a clean bill of health. A month later, she needed a quadruple bypass.”
That’s what Dr. Camille told me as we continued our conversation in this two-part episode.
At the time, she was already deep into functional medicine, helping patients uncover what standard labs missed. But when her own mother—vibrant, active, and ‘perfect on paper’—ended up in the ER with life-threatening blockages, the cracks in conventional care became undeniable.
In Part 1, we uncovered how hormones like testosterone and progesterone are routinely ignored in women’s health. Now, we go further—into the how behind hormone dysfunction.
Because it’s not just about how much estrogen you have. It’s about how your body breaks it down. Metabolizes it. Clears it. And if those systems aren’t working—your labs can look “normal” while your risk keeps rising.
We talk about the tools Dr. Camille now relies on—DUTCH testing, methylation panels, advanced gut testing. She explains how enzymes like beta-glucuronidase can quietly recirculate hormones your body was trying to clear—raising inflammation and risk in the background.
And then there’s thermography. A non-radiation imaging tool that revealed unexpected inflammation in Dr. Camille’s own breast tissue—despite her clean lifestyle and normal labs.
It was a wake-up call. One that changed how she supports her body—and how she guides her patients forward.
This isn’t about chasing wellness—it’s about knowing what path you’re on before you land in crisis.
If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, start there. Then come back.
Because once you see what’s missing from the standard of care—you can’t unsee it.
