Dr Libby to talk about hormones
Acclaimed nutritional biochemist, 11 times best-selling author and international speaker, Dr Libby Weaver is bringing The Hormone Factor to the Bay.
Her latest tour follows the release of her latest book, The Beauty Guide.
Hormones play a powerful role in how we feel and how our bodies function, Dr Libby says. They influence everything from how we grow, sleep and age, whether we store fat or burn it, the quality of our skin, our blood pressure, immune system and appetite regulation — even our brain chemicals.
“Our bodies rely on the delicate balance and seamless communication of over 50 different hormones. Each has their own remarkable abilities to cause havoc or harmony to our inner and outer world, depending on whether they are in or out of balance, and being produced in optimal quantities.
“My aim is to help women identify the signs of hormonal imbalance and offer insight as to how hormones impact our beauty, the way we age, our emotions and how we perceive ourselves. I will also share practical solutions on how to best support our bodies and the various biochemical pathways that govern the way we look and feel,” she says.
During her two-hour live event, Dr Libby will explain:
■ Why women experience hot flushes and insomnia with menopause.
■ The nutrients your hormones need to give you great hair, skin and nails.
■ How to spot the hormone disrupting substances in your beauty products.
■ Steps you and your partner can take to cultivate fertility and preconception care.
■ How the pill works and its effects on the body.
■ How to reduce the impact of the stress of modern day living on your hormonal balance.
■ What to do if you’re experiencing thyroid imbalances such as hypothyroidism.
■ How stress hormones impact sex hormones during each life stage.
■ The role hormones play in adrenal fatigue.
■ How to tap into your own hormonal intelligence and the master switch of your hormonal world.
■ How to go about rectifying a hormonal imbalance naturally.
■ How emotions impact different hormones and vice versa.
■ Ways to support hormonal imbalances that contribute to PMS, painful periods, irregular periods, food cravings, acne and polycystic ovary syndrome.
