by Shannon Leparski, Blue Star Press (Produced by)

Overview

In The Happy Hormone Guide, certified hormone specialist Shannon Leparski presents a comprehensive, plant-based lifestyle program to help women balance their hormones, increase energy, and reduce PMS symptoms.

The Happy Hormone Guide includes comprehensive, phase-specific (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal) guidance including:

• Changes in fertility, libido, and basal body temperature
• Beneficial foods, micronutrients, and supplements
• Phase-specific recipes to support hormone balance
• Common changes to mood and energy levels
• Exercise tips suitable to different times of the month
• Facial recipes, hair masks, and essential oil blends

Modern culture expects women to keep up with the same demanding daily routine, but women's cycles are anything but consistent. The Happy Hormone Guide explores the ebbs and flows of a woman's monthly cycle and provides a holistic view of the female hormone and endocrine system so that you can take control of your cycle and improve your quality of life.

This book is perfect for women living with PCOS, endometriosis, or any other form of hormonal imbalance.
