Synopsis
Treat the hormone imbalances at the root of disease with this six-week intensive program designed by a Yale-trained, board-certified family physician, women's health expert, and author of the groundbreaking bestseller The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution.
We are in the midst of a global health crisis. Thirty percent of women are suffering from PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, insulin resistance, thyroid problems, uterine fibroids, and breast cancer. Tens of millions of women are taking pills to alleviate pain, mood, and blood sugar disorders; birth control prescriptions for symptoms ranging from acne to autoimmune conditions; and hormone replacement medication which can have serious-even fatal-consequences. Studies have found that American girls are entering puberty much earlier--some as young as seven--than previous generations, which can have serious consequences for their long-term health. In addition, one in eight women seek fertility treatments every year. All of these are symptoms of an epidemic--hormone imbalance--that is wreaking havoc on women's health and their lives.
But women don't have to suffer any longer. A specialist in women's health, Dr. Aviva Romm, has developed a 6-week hormone-balancing program to heal the underlying root cause of these painful symptoms and debilitating diseases.
It's not just the female hormones estrogen and progesterone-thyroid hormones, adrenal hormones, gut balance, detoxification systems, stress response, and insulin can also be out of balance and it's up to our hormones to be the messengers. In Hormone Intelligence, Dr. Romm shows us the ways our innate wisdom about hormones has been clouded and how to get back in touch with the most powerful signaling system in your body. She lays out her program and the 6-pillars of hormone health, providing tests, tools, lifestyle changes, diet, and supplements to help every woman get her health back on track. With Hormone Intelligence women can finally be their healthiest selves and live the lives they want.
Synopsis
We are in the midst of a hidden hormone epidemic--one in which an extraordinary number of women of all ages and life stages--at least 80 percent--will struggle with a hormone problem in their lifetime. Yet the medical establishment is willing to chalk this up to a "new normal" or "no big deal," and advise women to "just take the Pill" or "have the surgery."
But it is a big deal.
In her groundbreaking new work, Hormone Intelligence, Yale-trained, board-certified family physician and women's health expert Aviva Romm, MD, connects the many societal, nutritional, environmental, and interpersonal influences that impact and disrupt our highly sensitive, yet perfectly designed, hormone signals. Every aspect of life influences hormonal health--from genetics, diet, microbiome, and endocrine disruptors to the incessant stressors of living in a world that was not designed to honor women's inherent rhythms. And it's taking a scientifically proven toll on women's bodies in the form of hormone imbalances, distressing period symptoms, endometriosis, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), infertility, fibroids, acne, IBS, early or difficult menopause, early puberty, sleep problems, depression, and so much more.
Being a woman is not a diagnosis. Within us is an ancient blueprint meant to orchestrate our hormones. Dr. Romm calls this our Hormone Intelligence--the interconnecting pathways between our brain, ovaries, uterus, and even vagina, with our thyroid and adrenal glands and digestive, detoxification, and immune systems. Featuring a six-week program for realigning these pathways, plus personalized protocols for getting to the root causes of key hormonal and gynecologic problems while addressing symptoms, Hormone Intelligence is a gift to women everywhere. It's the exhale you've been waiting for, and the first step on the road to reclaiming your body, hormones, and vibrant self.
