News from Happy Hormone Cottage

Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were happy and that you are ready to embrace a healthier 2012 with a lifestyle change that will positively impact your health for the future. It all begins with YOU and your willingness to do what it takes to make that change a reality.

One of my favorite sayings is that "Intentions create their own opportunities." So whatever your intention, whether it be to lose weight, exercise more, eat cleaner or become hormonally balanced, I urge you to make that choice for the better. We are here to help you! We are a women helping women resource and our passion is YOUR best health naturally!

Let's talk functional medicine for a minute. Here's what I know: the model we use at our Happy Hormone Cottage is functional medicine based. Functional medicine is a personalized approach to medicine that deals with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of symptoms, for serious chronic issues. This is a science-based field of health care that is grounded in several principles:

patient centered
dynamic balance of internal and external factors
interconnections of body systems
health as a positive vitality

Functional medicine uses the patient's story as the key tool for diagnosis and is focused on patient care rather than disease care. It addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. And it is anchored by an examination of core clinical imbalances that underlie various conditions. Now compare this philosophy with the traditional approach to medicine that is prevalent in our society today and is disease-centered, so it focuses heavily on drug therapy with a one-size-fits-most Big Pharma-driven belief system where controlling symptoms is more important than finding the cause of the symptoms. Knowing this, who would you rather visit to dialogue about your hormone imbalance issues? I think the answer is clear. Isn't it time we encouraged our traditional-minded doctors to begin to embrace a more patient-driven, functional approach to medicine where our stories are validated and we can partner with our doctors for our own health care? Classes and workshops are offered all the time in functional medicine. Maybe if we encourage our doctors, they can begin to work more outside the realm of traditional medicine and begin to feel more comfortable thinking outside the box of current standard of care, where being more patient-driven, as opposed to disease-driven, is more highly valued and considered. I think the time is now to push for this with our health care practitioners. How about you?

I received this email last week from one of our patients, Hannah:
"Hello Lyn, This is Hannah, and I just want to say thank you so much!! Yesterday was two weeks since I began your therapy and I am definitely feeling a difference. Before I began the progesterone cream, I had severe anxiety, wasn't sleeping well, and I was very depressed and irritable. Being only 24 years old, I wondered, "Is this really what I have to look forward to the rest of my life?" But now I don't feel as anxious when I go to bed at night, and my sleep is already improving! I find that with enough sleep, I feel much better and I have been in a much better mood for it. I knew there had to be something that could help me, and I believe this is it! Thanks again Lyn and I hope it only gets better from here! By the way, I hope we can spread the word to other women my age. I know now that what I was experiencing was a hormone imbalance and it can happen to women of all ages....even us girls in our twenties, not just older women. Thank you for all you do."

Finally, I want to share with you the message I shared with my staff over the holidays. This is our goal for 2012 and beyond-to finish strong! We are going to finish stronger than when we began, and we are going to continue to succeed. Those who finish stronger than when they started are the ones who are going to make a difference. Those are the ones who are going to have an impact in this world and on the lives of others around them. I want us to continue to make a difference in the lives of the people whom we serve every day. This is our legacy; to leave something behind that keeps making a difference in people's lives. What I want to leave behind is a life remembered for the relationships we built and the lives we impacted. Finish strong and you help not just yourself; you also help others.

Blessings,
Lyn

IF YOU MISSED ONE OF OUR PHENOMENOL WEIGHT LOSS EVENTS...

If you weren't able to attend one of our "New Year, New You" events that we offered in early January, and you are still interested in losing weight, it all begins with hormone balance. Did you know that estrogen is a fat storer? Did you also know that women over age 35 become estrogen dominant, as their progesterone levels begin to decrease? So to lose weight and keep it off, achieving hormone balance is key. Once you are hormonally balanced, you CAN lose weight. Call us today for your free consultation on how you can achieve natural hormone balance. Then we can take you to the next level..... weight loss.

CORE RESTORE

The first step in a successful weight loss program begins with a good detoxification program. We have a product that works! At The Piqua Medicine Shoppe and Happy Hormone Cottage, we recommend OrthoMolecular Core Restore Kit, click here to order online!

RX SKIN THERAPY NEWS

RX Skin Therapy has been reformulated, resulting in no botanical scent coming from the product line. This has been accomplished by using the exact same ingredients, but mixed in a different order. The outcome is completely free of all botanical scents. Kristin Riddle, RPh and compounding pharmacist is the brainchild and inventor of this popular and highly successful RX Skin Therapy product line.

INTRODUCING A NEW PRODUCT: FIRMING EYE SERUM! Boosted with caffeine, peptides and botanicals, this revitalizing eye serum helps firm and smooth the delicate eye area, while also tightening and brightening the under-the-eye area. Anitamarie and I are using this product and are seeing amazing results! My philosophy is we use skin products anyway, so why not use one that is proven to work? Especially one that is created by a compounding pharmacist who KNOWS about ingredients, strengths, and doses. This way you are investing in a great customized product that works! $58

SKIN CARE PRODUCT OF THE MONTH: "REBUILDING NIGHT CREAM"
This night cream is available for:
-Oily Skin. It utilizes botanicals and anti-inflammatory agents to calm and repair while you sleep.
-Normal Skin-Calming botanicals work to repair and restore skin while you sleep.
-Dry Skin-Calming botanicals and shea butter work to hydrate and heal skin while you sleep.
$56

Call Anitamarie from the cottage, at 513-795-2227 for more information and to purchase your Rx Skin Therapy products. Free skin analysis consultation by appointment. Rx Skin Therapy products are also available in our online store.
