Bio: Candace is a Hormone Health Educator with a Masters degree in Health Education and over 25 years experience in the field. She founded Your Hormone Balance in 2017, and was soon after joined by her daughter, Ryan Burch (co-founder/CEO). She also co-hosts the Women Talking Frankly Podcast with Kyle McAvoy, NP.

 In the early 2000s, Candace was mentored and trained in hormone testing, evaluation and rebalancing by David Zava (Ph.D., founder of ZRT Laboratory), a prominent biochemist and breast cancer researcher.

Over the next decade, she worked alongside Dr Zava and John Lee, M.D. (authors: “What Your Doctor Might Not Tell You About Breast Cancer”) and collaborated with pioneering researchers and physicians like Dr. Kenna Stephenson, M.D. (lead researcher of the CHOIICE study), CW Randolph, OB-GYN (author: “From Hormone Hell to Hormone Well”), James Wilson, N.D., (author: Adrenal Fatigue, the 21st Century Stress Syndrome), as well as compounding pharmacists, functional medicine doctors and prominent thought leaders. Together, they worked to advance education and access to hormone testing, and the bioidentical hormone restoration (BHRT) model of care.

Before starting her private consulting practice, candace helped develop the first hormone testing and rebalancing weight loss program (at Metabolic Research Center).

Suggested Talking Points:

• Candace’s experience battling roller coaster symptoms of imbalance during perimenopause (with two young daughters), and how her experience rebalancing her hormones became a catalyst for the work she does today.
• The TOP hormone imbalances we see women of all ages struggling with and how symptoms can manifest in weight loss resistance, low libido, acne, mood swings, painful periods, bad PMS & more!
• How stress influences hormone imbalances (there's a reason sex is literally last on the "to-do" list and it can feel impossible to lose or maintain weight)!
• Signs you're in perimenopause and how to prime your body for reduced symptoms and a better transition into menopause!
• The impacts of endocrine disrupting chemicals on hormone balance and how to make the switch to safer household and beauty products to improve hormonal symptoms (without overwhelm)!
• The different types of hormone testing available (urine/saliva/blood) and why it can be life-changing (thyroid, vitamin D, fertility hormones, master hormones)
• The benefits of using bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) vs. synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for symptom improvement during the reproductive and menopausal years.
