Black & White images show the ”significant improvement” in the pattern of estrogen dominance in approximately 5 months, plus she lowered her risk so much that her left breast got a better grade. Heat around a nipple can signal a problem and her left breast had heat encircling the warmer nipple.
This client’s story is fascinating and illustrates how important it can be to attend followup imaging plus how important to refrain from assuming that commercial formulations of bio-identical hormones that give undesired results are the end of the road.
Client’s first attempt at using progesterone to improve estrogen dominance symptoms was via Prometrium, a commercially available bio-identical brand. Unfortunately, 100 milligrams made her “feel like a zombie” so her doctor switched her to a compounded (personally mixed for her) progesterone capsule. No more zombie effect and she was able to increase to 200 mg. Black and white images (black is hot) show the powerful risk-lowering effects in only five months!
She felt so much better overall that she became more active, stronger and more fit, even shed a few pounds as you can see in the images!
Images above depict her second and third thermograms, below are all three. Her second imaging showed worsening in left breast, so she and her doctor, Kathryn Walker at Renu, developed a plan and executed it beautifully to reverse the trend! (Last we heard Walker is booked 9 months out but there are more brilliant practitioners - a client survey of who is/are your favorite doctor(s) is upcoming and we will publish results on this blog to give you more options!)
Below you see first session Sept 2023, second May 2025 and third Sept 2025. Her left breast increased in signal around the nipple by the second imaging and in the dark area leading up to armpit increasing her left breast’s grade between visits 1 & 2 but by visit 3, she had reversed the trend, grade returned to 2023 grade and estrogen dominance pattern is visibly even better than where she began in 2023 after only five months of getting hormones dialed in!
