The Australian Healthy Hormone Diet

What's happening with your hormones?

Are you carrying extra kilos, even though you watch what you eat? Do you feel exhausted at the end of the day, and sometimes even when you wake up? Do you have a low-level nagging feeling that something just isn't right?

Michele Chevalley Hedge, a qualified nutritionist in private practice, sees countless patients whose busy lives leave them feeling depleted and burnt out, and these symptoms are often linked to hormone imbalances. Aside from teenage mood swings, menstruation or menopause, it is little-known that hormones play a crucial ongoing role in our most vital bodily functions. If we upset the finely balanced interplay of our hormones - say, by eating processed foods, not getting enough sleep or living with too much stress - we can easily fall into hormone chaos. This can strike women and men at any age, but it's often not until midlife that the full impact is felt.

Michele's four-week plan encompasses nutritional and lifestyle changes to help get your life - and your hormones - back on track. Each day of the plan features tailored advice and a nourishing recipe to help your body 'reset' so that you once again feel energised and fighting fit. Michele also provides you with tips on how to make positive, lasting changes to your lifestyle that will stay with you long after the four-week plan is over.
