Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself

Naturopathic doctor unpacks the science of hormones to reveal their full impact on women’s emotional and physical health—and offers thoughtful tools to help women understand their bodies and themselves. "Reading this book feels like sitting across from a wise friend who sees you, truly sees you, and hands you the tools to remember your power." — from the foreword by Dr. Mindy Pelz, New York Times best-selling author of Fast Like a Girl, Eat Like a Girl, and Age Like a Girl “Why am I falling apart?” Dr. Sonya Jensen has been hearing this question, in one form or another, from her patients for years. This book is her answer. There is a huge disconnect, Dr. Sonya explains, between how women are feeling in their minds and bodies and how they are treated in today’s medical system. They are told things like “it’s a part of aging,” “you just need to get out more,” or the best, “there’s nothing I can do but here’s an antidepressant.” Perimenopausal women in particular are told that the stage they are in doesn’t even exist, despite the multitude of symptoms they experience every single day. Women turn to influencers and Dr. Google to solve their health problems but don’t know how to navigate all the noise. They feel unheard, unsafe, undervalued, stretched to the max, and, most of all, alone. Until now. After treating patients in her Divine Elements Health Center for more than 15 years, conducting thousands of hormone tests and treatment protocols, leading women’s circles and yoga retreats, apprenticing with an OBGYN, studying the shamanic medicine wheel, and traveling a continuously evolving path of self-discovery, Dr. Sonya has identified the missing link in the realm of women’s health: how your everyday moments, emotions, and relationships are influenced by the health of your hormones. In this book, she unpacks this profound connection, then outlines her signature HER Method (Hormonal-Emotional-Relational) of healing, which includes: A breakdown of the hierarchy of hormonal healing In-the-moment techniques to relieve suffering and deepen connection Practices to bring you back in sync with your body, drawn from biohacking, ancient herbs, nutrition science, and movement Guidance for next steps in medical treatment, such as testing you may need And much more Filled with wisdom, compassion, and soulful support, this is a must-have guide to a healthier, more joyful life.
