How the Personal Program works

When your hormones are in balance, you feel great — lots of energy, you sleep like a baby, your sex drive is strong, you look wonderful, and your immune and digestive systems function beautifully.

This is your body’s normal state. And with proper support you should feel that way from your 20’s through your 70’s — and even beyond.

So how do we lose this natural ability to make and balance our hormones? And how do you get it back?

Your symptoms are your body’s way of asking for more support.

Most of us put enormous demands on our body — much more stress than it was designed to handle — and don’t give it adequate support.

Constant stress is especially harmful. Most women in the Personal Program have demanding jobs, run a household, and are parents and caregivers, often for aging parents. Many of these relationships are themselves stressful.

All these demands tend to peak in perimenopause.

On the other side of the scale, the support we give our bodies is usually inadequate. The cumulative effect of this lack of support over many years also tends to peak in perimenopause.

This imbalance between demands and support is what gives rise to our many symptoms: PMS, hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue, weight gain, loss of libido, impaired thyroid function, adrenal exhaustion, fibroids or systemic inflammation, suppressed immune function, accelerated aging, and increased risk of disease.

Our unique holistic approach

In our clinical practice we have developed a holistic approach that has proven successful in supporting healthy hormonal balance:

• Medical-grade nutritional supplements to ensure your body has the rich nutrients it needs to make and balance its hormones.
• Endocrine support to help your body maintain the right balance of hormones and healthy endocrine function.
• Dietary changes to satisfy your body’s real requirements. Most so-called healthy diets actually sabotage your body.
• Lifestyle changes to help your body deal with the demands you place on it.

In over 21 years of medical practice involving tens of thousands of women suffering from hormonal imbalance, we’ve learned that these four forms of support will resolve even severe symptoms for almost all women. In its most concentrated form, this approach is even an effective way to wean off HRT without a rebound of symptoms.

It’s never too late to change.

When you join our Personal Program you’ll go through a starter phase that can take just weeks or several months, depending on your starting point.

Women getting off synthetic HRT such as Premarin or Prempro require the longest healing phase. But you’ll feel a genuine improvement in the first 2-4 weeks.

That initial improvement will inspire you — and give you the strength — to keep going. Once you’re through this starter phase, and your hormonal balance is restored, you’ll be able to more easily maintain it.

Not just natural, but personalized.

Your physiology and life history are unique. Your path to hormonal balance will be unique too.

Our approach is to build the foundation of support and then add personal solutions as needed to resolve any intractable symptoms.

We offer the Personal Program in four versions so you can match the solution to your level of symptoms. (See The Personal Program for details.) To determine your level of symptoms, take our on-line Hormonal Health Profile.

Phone support if you need help.

We’re always here if you need help or support. You’ll get to talk to a woman who knows just what you’re going through.

If you need extra help or have special concerns, we also offer phone consultations with one of our nurse–educators. They’re specially trained, highly experienced, very supportive — and very good listeners!

We invite you to join us.

Our natural approach has helped thousands of women restore their health and well-being.
