Hey friends, welcome back. My name is Courtney and this is the

Anxion Health Podcast. This month is breast cancer awareness month. And on today's episode,

Dr. Motley helps us understand estrogen-driven cancers. If you've ever wondered what makes you

more susceptible to this form of cancer or how you can balance hormones to prevent cancer,

save this episode and take some notes. Dr. Motley covers everything from how hormones are made

approach to balancing hormones with specific herbs. All right guys, we hope this serves you and

you enjoy today's episode. Let's dive in. Hey friends, Dr. Motley here with the Health Institute.

of the body like the shoulders, the breasts, the hips, even the legs and the calves and thighs

that could lead to certain types of cancerous situations i.e. breast cancers. And so we want to talk

about how these mechanisms occur and what are some of the traditional Chinese medicine

approaches with herbals and spices to help build the body's ability to break down properly

estrogens and excess hormones so that it hopefully would never lead to that state of breast cancer.

Remember, this is not here to give you personal health care advice. We're saying we just want to be

here for education. If you have any questions, please ask your primary care physician, your primary

doctor. We just want to show the mechanisms and talk about any research we've heard that could help

the body balance hormones such as estrogens. So let's start off. When we talk about estrogens,
