WomanCode: Perfect Your Cycle, Amplify Your Fertility, Supercharge Your Sex Drive, and Become a Power Source
Is there a woman out there who doesn’t want those things? (Unless of course you’re done having babies, in which case you may not want to amp UP your fertility, but still.)
I recently listened to this podcast episode, Optimize Your Hormones and Improve Every Aspect of Your Life with Alisa Vitti, the author of WomanCode, and I’ve gotta say: I was blown away.
Alisa is an OBGYN and holistic health counselor who specializes in helping women correct hormonal imbalances naturally. She believes that our nutrition information is geared toward the male 24-hour cycle of hormones, where women have a 28-day hormone cycle.
She talks about foods to add into your diet (like flax and chia seeds) and foods to avoid or eliminate (like dairy and gluten). She even talks about what foods to eat at what times of the month. (Crazytown!)
Alisa runs a women’s center in New York City and says that optimizing hormones has helped women relieve or even cure depression, anxiety, PMS, low libido, endometriosis, fibroids, and PCOS.
Basically, if you’ve ever told a doctor a list of symptoms and he or she has said, “Let’s put you on the pill,” this book is for you.
Her approach is different from anything I’ve heard about women’s health, so I wanted to pass it on. After all…
Loving yourself and taking care of your body go hand in hand! 🙂

Totally interesting! (And also I eat wayyy too much dairy and gluten = this is bad news.)
