What to Bring
Background
While
teaching one evening a noticeably exhausted young woman asked me some
questions about irregular menstruation. I replied by asking her,
‘during which day of her menstrual cycle she noticed the event in
question.’ She simply stared back at me unable to answer.
The
class was filled with women ranging from as young as 18 to women in
their late 50’s and I was shocked to learn that not one of them knew
how to count their menstrual days, or even what the role of estrogen
was in their bodies. Yet many of them were on birth control or hormone
replacement therapy. As a teacher of healing you can imagine this was
disconcerting, seeing clearly that women are still being used to
experiment upon, while also being kept in the dark.
In
my practice I treat fatigue and pain with more that 85% of my patients
being female. Unfortunately, I have learned that the basics of health,
and especially reproductive health are not being taught. While I cannot
relate to what menstrual disruption feels like for a woman, I can teach
the basics of achieving optimal reproductive health for both men and
women. And for achieving optimal health we must look to the foundation
of health, energy production.
Did you know that the
single most common symptom amongst all disease is fatigue? Exhaustion
can be the end result of a multitude of causes that place an
extraordinary burden on the Adrenal Glands to make up the energetic
difference. The Adrenal Glands make up this deficit by producing a
hormone called Cortisol. Certainly irregular menstrual cycles can cause
potential nutrient deficiencies leading to fatigue. If menstrual
irregularity goes on for some time it can lead to Adrenal Fatigue.
Similarly, disruptions in sleeping, poor stress management, thyroid
dysfunction, and environmental pollution exposure play a role as well.
The
purpose of this workshop is to provide a wealth of information
regarding how these causes are interrelated and more so what we can do
to make a big difference. While this workshop is dedicated to women we
will also discuss reproductive health in men, ways to test for Adrenal
Exhaustion and ways to improve health in everyone.
