We have been led to believe that our physiology is too complicated for us to understand and that our health is best left in the hands of the experts and authorities on such matters. That's classical bullshit. We are our own authority. Reading this book and having it on hand as a field guide will provide the confidence you need to ask the right questions, of yourself and your provider, as well as empower you to find your own best answers with the help of the right practitioners. I love Functional Medicine because it's a whole person science. We are more than just problematic collections of symptoms. We are elegantly wired to work on harmony with our higher natures. This book is an excellent primer that opens the door to deeper exploration. To know yourself is to love yourself. Start here.
When life calls you will answer, will you make it easy or the other way? Add life's work or a job to the mix and oh boy! This book is timely! I'm glad I have it in my library.
More books need to be written about PMDD and how imbalanced hormones can completely throw functionality out the window for a woman! This was very informative.
