I attended an incredibly informative lecture last evening on woman's health and hormones. It was a free lecture at Whole Foods Park Royal with Lorna Vanderhaeghe. I hadn't heard of her or even known that Whole Foods carries all of her supplements until the posters for the free lecture went up but I was sold on hearing all I could about thyroid, hormones and beautiful skin. I looked her up and started to take notice when guests at the store passed through with her products in their basket. I quickly found out I was the crazy person with no cable that had never heard of her! Her legacy is EPIC. She is an award winning researcher, editor and devout convert to natural healing. She is a product of all her products and I tell you never in a million years standing with her would I have dreamed that she is post-menopause. She is radiant. I was fortunate to get into the lecture which started off with the introduction, "everything that they should teach woman about their hormones when they are 12". And so it was. She informed us that everything she spoke of in her lecture plus some is in her book including a thorough test for determining the state of your own hormonal health. If it's the case that this book is indeed a larger reflection of her lecture that I would say that if every woman out there reads only one book this year, this should be it! Imagine knowing our own hormonal health better than our own doctors? I say kudos to that!
I hope to get my hands on a copy of her book, A Smart Woman's Guide To Hormones and check things out in more detail myself, the books did sell out in the store this evening! However, I received my own personal consultation with Lorna which I feel so fortunate to have had. We discussed my current dosage of anti-depressant and what it would take to replace those naturally since her lecture informed me that I am now at an increased rate for breast cancer for taking them. YIKES! She also gave me her recommendation for my adult onset acne that started 2 years ago. I hope more than anything to report to you that the proof is in the pudding and these products live up to the information behind them. More than anything I'm just thrilled to have been in the presence of such greatness. I haven't been so inspired by health and healing since I was first introduced to Green Smoothies by Victoria Boutenko.
Come on ladies! Take control. What could be more empowering than total hormonal health? Periods without pain or PMS and a symptom free Menopause naturally?? Amen sisters! XO. S
