Your Body in Balance

we begin a new 4 class series entitled: Your Body In Balance. This Food For Life series was adapted from the best selling book Your Body In Balance by Dr. Neal Barnard. These classes explain the shocking new science of how hormones are wreaking havoc on the body, and the delicious solution that improves health, reduces pain, and even helps to shed weight.

Hidden in everyday foods are the causes of a surprising range of health problems: infertility, menstrual cramps, weight gain, hair loss, breast and prostate cancer, hot flashes, and much more. All of these conditions have one thing in common: they are fueled by hormones that are hiding in foods or are influenced by the foods we eat.

Your Body in Balance classes provide guidance for understanding what's at the root of your suffering-and what you can do to feel better fast. Few people realize that a simple food prescription can help you tackle all these and more by gently restoring your hormone balance, with benefits rivaling medications. These Food For Life classes offer insight into how dietary changes can alleviate years of stress, pain, and illness.

These classes will provide invaluable information on how food and hormones play a powerful role in health. You will receive invaluable information on how foods affect the hormones that play a role in menopause, thyroid health, hormone related cancers and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Learn how a plant-based diet can help manage menopause and reduce symptoms, including hot flashes. And in sex-hormone related cancers, learn the scientific facts behind how foods affect estrogen  levels and the roles they play in breast and other forms of cancer. In the balancing the thyroid class, read about the surprising effects of diet on hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
