Are You Intentional or Instinctual? Are you tired of searching high and low for the "perfect" mate, job or life experience? Have you ever thought you had the perfect mate, job, house, or life only to find yourself feeling empty or confused? Have you ever met someone and felt like it was love at first sight only to be disappointed months in to the union? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, your inner cavewoman may be in control! Over the years of my practice I frequently saw patients who were working hard to achieve true balance and well-being in their health, but really struggled when it came to personal relationships.  I feel strongly that in order to be truly healthy in every way - mind, body and spirit - we have to understand how to have positive relationships in our lives.

Free Seminar for Women Only Men are attracted to women - no news there.  But did you know that there are two types of attraction?  These two types of attraction will determine if a man will want to be your friend or a romantic interest, if he will want to help make your work life better or just do the bare minimum at work to get by, or if he will even want to get to know you at all.

We've all heard of menopause; that dreaded time of life for women when we feel like something, or someone else has taken over our bodies.  Sometimes menopause can begin as early as our 30's....mood swings, fatigue, mental fog, depression, weight gain, night sweats, and low libido.  Then eventually, a decade or so later, hot flashes begin and the misery steps up a notch. What about the guys in all of this mess?  Why don't they have to suffer like we do?  Don't they age too?  Well the answer is ABSOLUTELY!  Males begin their hormone decline on average at age 35, losing 2% of testosterone production per year which is important and not just for sexual health.  Testosterone, produced primarily by the female ovary and the male testicles, and to a lesser degree by the adrenal glands (yes ladies, females make and need testosterone), has many functions in our bodies beyond
