If You Want To Heal Your Hormones and Lose Stubborn Weight, You Should:
Use your fork to make diet decisions every day that help your hormones and improve metabolic flexibility
Empower yourself with the knowledge needed to stop outsourcing your hormone health
Embrace an adapted version of the ketogenic diet that is personalized to you and your body's needs
When it comes to the women I work with, the number one concern as we get older tends to be that stubborn weight gain that we just can't seem to get rid of. But have you ever considered that this weight could be directly related to your hormones and metabolic flexibility? By understanding how your hormones affect your metabolism, you can adopt a diet and lifestyle that suits you and helps you get rid of the stubborn weight gain for good.
Transform Your Health
Dr. Sara Gottfried is a board-certified physician who graduated from Harvard and MIT. She practices evidence-based integrative, precision, and functional medicine. She has authored multiple books, including the breakthrough and instant NYT bestseller Women, Food, and Hormones. She has dedicated herself to helping women unlock their ability to fix their metabolism, heal their hormones, and lose stubborn fat for good.
Adapt the Ketogenic Diet for Your Unique Body
Have you ever had a male coworker or friend experience massive success with a keto diet but have not seen those results yourself? This is because men and women have a different genetic makeup that can lead to hormone disruption when going on an elimination diet. These gender differences inspired Dr. Sara to start her research and why she created an adapted version of the ketogenic diet for women. Dr. Sara has literally discovered the key to unlocking our ability to lose stubborn weight, and it all comes down to metabolic flexibility and our hormones.
Taking Back Control of Your Hormones
So often, women are gaslit or faced with a double standard when it comes to traditional medicine. But the truth is the power to take back control of your hormones and get your body working for you instead of against you exists within yourself.
While it may seem daunting to think you have to do it yourself, nobody knows your body better than you. By improving your metabolic flexibility, you can ensure that you have a fully functioning body for years to come. Through Dr. Sara’s new book, you can transform your health, lose stubborn weight, and address your symptoms before it is too late.
