Women to Women’s approach to nutrition
Because food is the best medicine
Most doctors have given up on counseling women to change their diets. It is far
easier to simply prescribe a pill.
Unfortunately, pills only treat the symptoms that result from poor nutrition, not
the underlying causes.
Despite what most doctors think, we know that women can change what they eat —
they just need a little hope, guidance, and support. That’s what we provide
in the Personal Program.
Diet matters for two reasons. First, food is the best medicine — the cheapest,
the most effective, and with the fewest side effects. Second, diet is always one
of the root causes of hormonal imbalance, and you can’t balance your hormones
without balancing your diet.
We’ve been so successful at helping women change what they eat, both at the
clinic and in the Personal Program. There’s a simple secret to our success:
we just ask you to follow the diet strictly for two weeks.
After just those two weeks, you’ll be a believer. You’ll feel so much
better, with more energy, balanced moods, fewer hot flashes (sometimes none!), and
reduced symptoms across the board. That will give you the strength and commitment
to stay with it ‘til your symptoms disappear. By then you’ll know so
much about how your nutrition affects your hormonal balance that you’ll be
able to follow the 80/20 rule — follow the plan 80% of the time, and enjoy
yourself the other 20% — and still feel great.
We make it very easy for you. The Personal Program includes a 30-day meal plan,
recipes that you can fix in 30–45 minutes, plus tips on how to cook for your family,
eat out, and deal with the other obstacles that face anyone trying to eat in a healthy
way.
The theory behind our dietary plan combines the latest science on the links between
nutrition and insulin metabolism, adrenal fatigue, food sensitivities, inflammation,
weight gain, and more, with 25 years of clinical experience.
But our approach isn’t just based on numbers, or on what works in our clinical
practice or for the thousands of women who’ve joined the Personal Program.
Importantly, it’s based on our personal experience and how we approach
our own diets as well as how we feed our families.
We know it will work for you, too.
