A Harvard physician's scientifically proven method to improve your physical and mental health by optimizing your hormones in your thirties, forties, and beyond.All too often women are told that feeling moody, asexual, tapped out, dried up, stressed out, and sleep deprived is just a part of being female. Or they're led to believe that the answer can be found only at the bottom of a bottle of prescription pills. Dr. Sara Gottfried, a Harvard-educated physician and nationally recognized, board-certified gynecologist, refuses to accept that being a woman means feeling overwhelmed or that popping pills is the new normal. In The Hormone Cure, she shares the unique hormone-balancing program that she has used to help thousands of women reclaim wellness, verve, and optimal health.
About the Author
For the last twenty years, Harvard-educated physician, speaker and author of the forthcoming book, The Hormone Cure, Dr. Sara Gottfried has been dedicated to practicing and helping women feel at home in their bodies.
After graduating from the physician-scientist training program at Harvard Medical School and MIT, Dr. Gottfried completed her residency at the University of California at San Francisco, where she still serves on the faculty. She is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, a teacher of the adjunct faculty at Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine, and a mentor to medical students in her integrative medicine practice, The Gottfried Center for Organic Gynecology.
Dr. Gottfried has a disruptive model of how to deliver cutting-edge women's health to as many women as possible by using technology - including teleseminars, group coaching, webinars, and Facebook - to raise oxytocin and reduce stress among today's overly busy women, while teaching them how to balance their hormones naturally, regardless of age and location. As a result, her innovative methods for sharing medical information make her a popular keynote speaker.
Also a nationally-recognized yoga instructor, Dr. Gottfried teaches workshops and online courses, such as her "Mission Ignition: Sex Drive" an online program she developed to help women cultivate their vitality. Dr. Gottfried also conducts mentoring and mastermind programs for practitioners to learn The Gottfried Protocol, her proprietary 3-Step Evidence-Based method for natural hormone balancing.
As an integrative gynecologist, Dr. Gottfried is a firm believer in treating the root cause of problems, not just the symptoms. She believes in leafy greens and nutrient-dense foods, together with evidence-based integration of botanicals and bioidentical hormones, rather than just prescribing medication. "My method is not one-size-fits-all. My mission is to help women feel sexy, vital and balanced from their cells to their soul," claims Dr. Gottfried adding, "I believe that managing and optimizing your health is your divine responsibility and path to personal power."
