If you’re asking these questions, you’re not alone…
- Menopause is supposed to be normal. Why am I having such a tough time with it?
- I’ve lost my motivation, my self-confidence, my libido, my spark. Is it my hormones? My thyroid? Perimenopause? Stress? Nutrient deficiencies? My diet? How do I figure this out?
- Hot flashes. Night sweats. When will they stop?
- I’m doing all the right things. Why is my metabolism not responding the way it used to? Why can’t I lose weight? Why am I so tired?
- I want to take better care of myself. Where do I start? What are my risk factors? I want to live vibrantly and independently as I age.
- I’ve been diagnosed with a metabolic condition (diabetes, pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver, polycystic ovary syndrome, high cholesterol). What can I do to take charge?
- I’m experiencing changes with my period and PMS. What can I do naturally to feel better?
- Heart health. Bone health. Mental health. Physical fitness. Reliable sleep. I want it all. Where do I start?
- I’m confused. There’s so much conflicting information out there. What do I need to do for me?
- How do I get back to feeling myself again? I need a plan.
