Namely, Berberine and Sugar Control. Berberine helps to stabilize sugar levels, but it’s also an antifungal herb and can help with activating metabolism. Sugar Control is great for keeping blood sugar levels steady as well.\n\nIt might sound simple, but these steps are hugely impactful.

• High estrogen in relation to progesterone (estrogen dominance) is a root cause in many hormonal imbalance conditions, such as PMS, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and endometriosis. Estrogen dominance can be caused by exposure to xenoestrogens (toxic compounds that mimic estrogen and wreak havoc on your endocrine system) and inadequate estrogen clearance due to sluggish liver function. If your liver is overworked dealing with other toxins, estrogen does not get properly metabolized and may then be recirculated back into your system. The resulting high estrogen levels can cause skin inflammation and acne.
