| The resource I consider best for information about women's
health is from Dr. Christiane Northrup, MD. (www.drnorthrup.com)
She write eloquently and extensively about the physiology of
a woman's body. In addition to her medical knowledge, her
descriptions of intuitive and emotional responses to out
hormones were revelations to me. It was her writing that first
confirmed my suspicion that my fluctuating hormones were
responsible for more than my menstrual cycle. (See my article,
Hot and Bothered,
This website isn't a reference for your health questions.
Instead, it provides information that might inspire you to delve
deeper and research for support that serves your individual
interests and needs.
My interest in natural health has been growing ever since I
realized that the current way of health is not about being
healthy but about treating disease and injury. There are
definite times when America medicine is the way to go, but I am
an outspoken advocate for people to take personal responsibility
for their own health.
Being responsible for your own health requires some study
and, most likely, some life style changes.
The main aspects of wellness include:
- Good nutrition
- Appropriate exercise
- Low stress
- Positive life outlook
- Avoidance of your personal physical stressors
When you need medical care, don't hesitate to seek it. At the
same time, don't accept treatment without first evaluating the
consequences. One of the best resources I know for identifying
the underlying meaning of symptoms is Louise Hays book:
Heal Your Body. When you use your own wisdom and
intuition, you can make many discoveries about what your body is
telling you.
Inquiry
- What is your satisfaction level with your health right
now?
- What is your biggest health challenge? How are you dealing
with it?
- How has your health changed in the past ten years?
- How is your health like that of your parents? What are you
doing to overcome your genetic legacy?
- How do you want your health to be? What steps are you
taking to have the best health possible?
