Megan is a very caring individual that treats the whole person. With women many times our struggles are a result of imbalanced hormones, and rather than just try to fix the situation with a pill, she will run tests and base her treatment on those results. Treatment is not always a pill but can be lifestyle changes or supplements or natural remedies first.
