And Im on a mission to help women in mid life balance their hormones naturally without drugs, doctors (or divorce!) It wasnt too long ago when perimenopause came crashing through my door with a ton of luggage (cuz she was prepared to stay for A WHILE!) I remember how overwhelmed, anxious, and pretty much clueless I was about what was happening to my bodyand how desperate I was for a diagnosis! But, after SEVERAL visits to my doctor who gave me a clean bill of health and lab results that came back within normal range, I finally decided to take my health into my own hands. I spent OVER A YEAR combing through PubMed research studies, taking online courses in naturopathy and functional medicine, and becoming my own human guinea pig to crack the hormone code and create a research-based program that really worked to balance my hormones, put the kibosh on perimenopause symptoms, and lose stubborn weightand keep it offfor more than 10 years! And now, I want to share it with you. Join me as I demystify the hormonal transition in midlife and spill the tea on what to expect when youre expecting perimenopauseand beyond. From anxiety to insomnia, body fat to funky body odor (yeah, thats a thing!), Ill unpack all the weird stuff going on inside our midlife bodies, plus give you the latest science and holistic solutions to balance it all. ...Are you tired of dealing with heavy, p Language: en Genres: Alternative Health, Health & Fitness, Nutrition Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |
