The hormone fix : the natural way to balance your hormones and alleviate the symptoms of the perimenopause, the menopause and beyond

Cabeca, Anna2019
Book
As women approach menopause, many start to experience the physical and emotional indignities of hormonal fluctuation: metabolic stall and weight gain, hot flashes and night sweats, insomnia, memory loss or brain fog, irritability, low libido, and painful sex. Too often, doctors tell us that these discomforts are to be expected and that we will have to wait them out during “the change”. But Dr Anna Cabecas research and experience with thousands of her patients show that there is a fast-acting and non-pharmaceutical way to dramatically and permanently alleviate these symptoms. The Hormone Fix introduces Dr Cabecas unique Keto-Green protocol, a plan that pairs the hallmarks of ketogenic (low-carb/high fat) eating with diet and lifestyle changes that bring the bodys cellular pH to a healthy alkaline level. The proven result: balanced cortisol and reduced output of insulin, the hormones most responsible for belly fat and weight gain, plus an increase in oxytocin, the “love and happiness” hormone. Whether you are perimenopausal, menopausal, or postmenopausal, The Hormone Fix offers an easy-to-follow program, including: A 10-day quick-start detox diet to jump-start weight loss and reduce symptoms immediately; Daily meal plans and weekly shopping lists to take the guesswork out of a months worth of Keto-Green eating; 65 delicious and easy-to-make recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, smoothies, and soups; Detailed information on vitamin and mineral supplementation that optimizes hormone balance and gut health; Simple self-assessments and recommended optional lab testing for a better understanding of your hormonal status; Tested and trusted stress-reduction and oxytocin-amplifying advice and techniques.
