T.J. Hills was a busy working mother of 3 young boys in 2009 when she was diagnosed with an aggressive Stage III breast cancer. Like over 80% of breast cancer patients, she was the first person in her extended family to be diagnosed. She later learned that while there was no family history of cancer there was extensive medical conditions resulting from less than perfect estrogen metabolism; conditions such as endometriosis, fibroid tumors, infertility and ovarian cysts.
She took a simple gene test and learned how to improve her estrogen health with easy steps including common nutritional supplements like fish oil and Vitamin C and ones less widely known like DIM.
TJ took many estrogen medications and substances before her breast cancer diagnosis and believes she would have made many different choices if she knew about her estrogen capabilities earlier.
