Happy Hormones ​Personalized Nutrition and Lifestyle Program for Women and Men in Your Second Half of Life
When the word “hormones” is used, most think of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. The truth is that we have many hormones that regulate the functions in our bodies and interact with each other, making them more complicated than the average person would assume.  Healthy hormones are not just reproductive hormones, but also adrenal, thyroid, liver, digestive and intestinal. They all have to function properly and in synchrony.

The Happy Hormones Program will help you unravel the complexity of it all with a food plan that helps support each type of hormone. The benefit is that it does not matter if you are seeing a naturopath, a medical doctor or a nutrition professional; it works in conjunction with any protocol you may be following.

Menopausal and Peri-Menopausal Women

You're invited to take steps toward regaining control over your hormones, whether you are going through menopause or you are about to, and wish to prepare your body for the next stage. By following this program, you will be supplying your body and your hormones with some much needed support. You will be amazed by how much better you will feel and the new energy and vitality you will discover.
Symptoms of Menopause:
  • Irregular Periods
  • Hot flashes
  • Sleep issues
  • Fatigue and physical weakness
  • Vaginal dryness 
  • Reduced libido
  • Mood swings or depression
  • Joint and muscles pains
  • Memory problems and brain fog
  • Osteoporosis
  • Decreased heart health
  • Increased body fat, especially around the mid-section
The adrenals play a major role in hormone health.  Years of stress have left the adrenals exhausted or malfunctioning.  
The other main player is gut health and the strength of your healthy gut bacteria.  Stress, antibiotics, medications, and a processed and refined food lifestyle have wreaked havoc with your gut bacteria, 
The Happy Hormones Program will help you learn how to eat for hormone and gut health and how to adjust your lifestyle for increased health. 

Andropausal Men

Hormone health is the last topic most men want to discuss, and that is okay. You may prefer to spend your time sitting on the couch instead of being the active go-getter you used to be. Or, maybe you are still a major go-getter but you must force yourself to go and get because you are so tired. Maybe you are experiencing new physical symptoms and changes in your body that are undesirable, and you just do not feel like yourself anymore. Whatever the case, I have some great information that may help you. 
Symptoms of Andropause:
  • Fatigue, low energy and physical weakness
  • Mood swings, depression or sadness
  • Lack of motivation and lowered self-confidence
  • Difficulty focusing and concentrating
  • Insomnia or difficulty sleeping
  • Increased body fat, especially around the mid-section
  • Loss of muscle mass and reduced ability to build muscle  
  • Development of breasts (known as gynecomastia)
  • Decreased bone density with higher risk of osteoporosis
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Reduced libido
  • Infertility
  • Swollen or tender breasts 
  • Decreased testicle size 
  • Loss of body hair 
  • Hot flashes
This may sound disastrous, but seldom will one-man experience all of these symptoms. The important question to ask is what causes these symptoms? They are primarily due to low testosterone levels and higher estrogen levels. However, it is more complicated than that. One of the biggest factors is stress, and the role of the adrenal glands which regulate our physical reaction to stress. You may not want to think of yourself as being stressed, but stress is a funny thing; it is not about what you think, but rather what the body and the adrenal glands think.
Most men work hard, spending their days chasing deadlines and running from activity to activity. It does not matter whether the work is physical, mental or both; the adrenal glands interpret this as stress. Unfortunately, our hormone system is designed in a way that gives the adrenals a lot of power in determining our hormone pathway, which means they can affect testosterone and estrogen levels.
