SUMMARY:Hormonal Health for High-Performing Women: Energy\, Balance and Sustainable Success
DESCRIPTION:For busy women with many roles to fill\, life is often a juggle\, and that juggle can be made a whole lot trickier when the hormonal shifts of different life stages. Suddenly we gain weight in places we never have before; we are hungrier\, craving and always tired\, and just don’t feel great. The good news is that it is possible to take back control of your body\, minus the extreme diets\, restriction and deprivation. \nThe key is to understand what is going on and how the daily food choices we make impact these hormonal systems\, to help take back control of our energy\, our body and ultimately our life. This session is a must for any woman keen to optimise health and well-being and become better equipped to handle the hormonal shifts throughout the 20’s\, 30’s\, 40’s and beyond.
