  This lecture talks about the subtle signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalance that so many of us experience each day and yet we fail to recognize them, or worse, simply dismiss them as normal or as part of aging - and yet - many of these symptoms of our body trying to let us know that something is out of balance. If left unaddressed, these imbalances not only cause weight gain or prevent weight loss - they increase our risk for almost every disease of aging like osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and various types of cancers. This talk can be 20 minutes to 1 hour and is suitable for all audiences.

  This presentation outlines the science of how our nutrition habits influences our hormones and the 3- step nutrition approach to restoring optimal hormonal balance. The purpose of this lecture is to enhance your basic understanding of the relationship between our nutritional habits (i.e. the foods we choose, and how much, how often and in which combinations) and the hormonal response. You will learn how to recognize the subtle signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalance - those imbalances that cause weight gain, interference with fat loss, and poor appetite control. You will leave with the perfect nutrition prescription to treat and improve all forms of hormonal imbalance: obesity, inflammation, estrogen dominance, insulin resistance, low serotonin (depression / anxiety), menopause, hypothyroidism, and more.

  The Supercharged Hormone Diet: A 30-Day Accelerated Plan to Lose Weight, Restore Metabolism and Feel Younger Longer

  
  The Hormone Diet taught us the ins and outs of how and why our hormones play the biggest part in our weight-loss woes — a valuable resource and diet guide to our hormones and how they affect our health. Now, The Supercharged Hormone Diet allows us to start losing weight as soon as we crack open the book.
  
  In this busy, fast-paced world, we don't always have time to research the science behind our diets. We want to lose weight sooner and faster. Turner has created an accelerated hormone diet with the same basic principles as the original (eating the right foods to correct your hormonal imbalances) and she's plucked out the most important information from The Hormone Diet. It includes the questionnaires and assessments to get you started, a higher protein detox than the original, the key tips for sleep and exercise, a handy food list, a new two-week meal plan, a work chart to help you stay on top of your goals and many new hormone diet-friendly recipes.
