Hormones, unpredictable troublemakers or unsung heroes?
Did you know that many issues women face, such as fatigue, low libido, mood swings, irritability, poor sleep, cravings, weight gain, brain fog, hair loss, anxiety, PMS, acné ... can be related to hormonal imbalances?
You get the point, hormones are ESSENTIAL not just for reproduction but for nearly all bodily processes. They help us adapt to our ever-changing environment and have a huge impact on how we function and feel.
But how well do you know your hormone family? Sadly, this isn't something we learn much about in school...
What do you know about your menstrual cycles beyond the basics or the hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, and (peri)menopause? Are you familiar with the key hormones involved in your sleep-wake cycle? The link between estrogen, insulin, and weight gain? The impact of stress hormones and thyroid dysfunction on your periods, fertility, menopause transition and overall health? The often underestimated role of our microbiome and liver in maintaining hormonal balance?
Better understanding empowers you to make better choices
This introductory course aims to bridge that gap by highlighting the VITAL role hormones play in our overall well-being and how even small fluctuations can significantly IMPACT our health. Most importantly, it will show how balanced hormones give you SUPER POWERS 💪🏼!

It was a lot of information and facts, but it was necessary to understand the whole context. Of great value was the support of other women who were on the same journey.
