  1. Life style is one of the major treatment strategies for hormone imbalance.
  2. HRT (Pharmaceutical or bio-identical) should be the secondary approach when you cannot balance hormones naturally.
  3. Reducing belly fat by eating Low Glycemic foods helps in balancing hormones.
  4. Exercise is an effective strategy for balancing hormones.
  5. www.PCCARX.com is a source to find compounding pharmacists. Through them you can find an Integrative Physician near you that can test your hormone levels and determin the course of HRT for you.

What is Stress?

Stress is the mental, physical, emotional, and behavioral reactions to any perceived demands or threats. Stress can be anything that stimulates you and increases your level of alertness.

Change and stress go hand in hand; they are both facts of life. The same way that all changes are not negative, all stresses are not negative either. In fact, you need a certain amount of stress in your life to function at your best. Some stress can bring excitement and challenge to your life. The key is to have the right type and amount of stress so you will not feel overwhelmed.

2) Social Support (Friends, support group, faith guidance… )

3) Professional Support (Therapy, coaching, etc.)

What You Believe…

Your beliefs run your life and create the boundaries of what is possible. This is true for your children as well. Whatever you think is possible truly is possible. When you or your children believe, then inspired ideas come and quick action must be taken. First the heart must be engaged in the outcome or the body will never take the inspired action. What does your heart want enough to move into action to achieve?” Cheryl Healey

Dr. Shilpa Saxena helps us through deciding on Hormone Replacement Therapy

Join Dr. Saxena on Change Thrivers Radio on 9/6/2010, as she makes sense of the challenging topic of Hormone Replacement Therapy and considerations for women to suffer from hormonal imbalances.

Dr. Saxena graduated from the University of Florida College of Medicine through an honors medical program and completed her Family Practice residency at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Jacksonville, Florida. There she served as Chief Resident and completed her certification in Low Risk Obstetrics continuing to expand her comprehensive knowledge of family medicine. She continues to maintain her Board Certification in Family Practice.

She joined a private practice where her mission was working with rural and inner-city underserved patients in Jacksonville. Caring for patients who were challenged to care for themselves, she further experienced how the power of education and respect for people far outweigh the benefits and results of any drug therapy. She is known for her ability to take intricate medical subject matter and make it understandable and actionable by patients. Combining this skill with her desire to serve people, the practice was born. ‘Seva’ is an ancient Sanskrit term that translates to ‘selfless service’ and Dr. Saxena’s original commitment to providing this type of service to the community remains as our driving force.

Through her entire educational and professional experience, Dr. Saxena believed that the ultimate goal of caring for patients was to cure disease and make them feel better. Unfortunately, she realized early on in her career that this was not happening with the standards of care which she was taught. On a mission, she returned to fundamental physiology and completed advanced training at the Institute for Functional Medicine and other nationally recognized Integrative Medicine programs.

Today, Dr Saxena brings her unique style of education to her local community to create awareness for the importance of lifestyle modification for achieving their loftiest health goals. She also speaks throughout the country educating physicians on how to implement clinically effective programs for reversing chronic disease. SevaMed Institute and the Center for Living Wellness represent the culmination of Dr. Saxena’s long-held vision for creating a life-changing place for the health-oriented community.

The Road Less Travelled

August 17th, 2010 | Tags: ,

I came across this poem as a young woman. I had a poster on my wall and it gave me the awareness and courage to take less traveleld roads in my life and that has made all the difference…

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you like to win but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win the prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

Poet: C.W. Longenecker
