Our hormones run the show! The true role of a hormone is to 'control and regulate' the activity of certain cells or organs.

We generally thinks of our hormones as either being 'male' or 'female', but the truth is, men and woman have all the same hormones - its just a matter of which ones are dominating...

Our hormones also influence:

- our capacity to reproduce

- our skin and hair

- our brains and thinking patterns

- our physical appearance including muscle and fat

- our bone density

- our blood vessels and our heart

Hormonal imbalances affect more that 70% of the population these days as we are exposed to different toxins, foods and 'xeno-oestrogens' which are 'endocrine disruptors' - they disrupt the normal hormone pathways.

In this seminar we will discuss the roles each of our hormones have including oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and insulin. I will help you to identify the most common causes of imbalances in these hormones which can lead to issues including early puberty, PMS/PMT, polycystic ovaries (PCOS), endometriosis, male and female infertility, low libido, loss of muscle mass, increased weight, mood swings, andropause and menopause and osteoporosis.

I will explain the role of 'bio-identical hormones' which can be used to help re-balance the body, and we will also discuss the lifestyle interventions, herbal remedies and nutritional supplements which are helpful in getting any unruly hormones back into line! You need to run the show for while, so that your hormones can remember what the rules are before you leave them in charge again.
