I am new to this post and need help. I am post menopausal and 52 and gaining weight. Trying to do Peat because of estrogen dominance. Had breast cancer three years ago, it was Grade Zero, so all was okay after surgery and radiation. I am not taxing tamoxifin as I am more naturopathic and going that way with supervision. I am thinking of getting progesterone....but my question is how to lose weight on Peat with the estogren going down hopefully. And how do I know if my thyroid is up or down or slow, etc? Please help! Thanks!!! :)
