Many women are given limited options for my specialties: PCOS and Hashimoto's such as the pill or metformin for PCOS and Synthroid for Hashimoto's. Many don't even realize they have many options in the realm of natural medicine, diet, lifestyle, and exercise that can help them feel better and gain more ground than their convectional options alone. I also see women get put immediately on hormone replacement (bioidentical or otherwise) without more thought given to the cause of their hormonal imbalance and if they could resolve that and not need hormone replacement. Women deserve to understand how their body works and how many options they have so they can make the healthiest and most empowered choice for themselves. Thus I love teaching women how their body works so they can better understand their seemingly strange and unrelated symptoms and feel more in control of their bodies and their choices. And I'm passionate about helping women make these decisions in a loving way vs. the all too common being our worst enemy, own worst critic vs. being our best friend." "Be your best friend. " "I help women understand how their bodies work, empower them with multiple options and assist them to be their best friend and stop fighting their hormones and hearts." It was incredible to hear how often these conditions will go together, in addition to blood sugar imbalance and weight issues. Her 1# advice for anyone with these issues is to follow her 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 rule. 5) Take 5 walks a week 4) Eat 4 meals a day (helps balance blood sugar and lower stress) 3) Strength training 3 times a week within your ability 2) Drink twice as much water 1) Do one more activity a day to love/nurture yourself Our episode will be released in March, but I wanted to come here right away and share so you could look forward to it! "I have co-authored a book with Joe Dowdell on fat loss that is a great hormonal Overview: Ultimate You - http://amzn.to/2nnw8yr But my favorite book when it comes to overall health isn't something on any one condition but probably one on something that affects health in every aspect: happiness.
