LIVE COURSE (7 WEEKS)
TAKE YOUR MIDLIFE TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Achieving Hormonal Balance & Optimal Energy
with Whole foods and Lifestyle
MIDLIFE is full of TRANSITIONS: in your career, relationships, caring for parents, empty nesting, your sense of purpose and not to mention the PHYSICAL changes! Hormonal fluctuations can come with a variety of SYMPTOMS as you might have experienced: hot flashes, depression, anxiety, weight gain, brain fog, poor sleep, adult acné, low libido, poor memory, mood swings, dryness, frozen shoulder, aches and stiffness and many more...
Yes, MIDLIFE YEARS can be MESSY 😳
So in this time of fluctuating and declining hormones, we can experience firsthand that our 'reproductive' hormones play multiple roles beyond reproduction. This may also one of the reasons why women in the Western world are at higher risk for chronic diseases such as autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, stroke, and thyroid dysfunction, compared to men. It is making us more sensitive the stressors in our environment.
" It can feel like your body has been hijacked and you no longer feel like yourself. The old tricks no longer seem to work. You know something needs to change, but you don’t know who to turn to for help."
Here is the good news!
You absolutely CAN take specific steps to start feeling like yourself again (or even better), and get your mojo back. Not only you will feel the benefits quite fast, but also it will help you to prevent chronic dis-ease on the long term.
After all, your symptoms are only MESSENGERS
- just like your hormones -
They are the ultimate WAKE-UP CALL for a healthier lifestyle!
