Happy New Year!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and I wish you a blessed, peaceful and stress-free 2015! Here's to your best year yet of healthful living!
Jeff and I recently returned from the annual A4M (Academy of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine) conference in Las Vegas, where Jeff received his Advanced Fellowship in Functional Medicine a year ago. This is where we met renowned doctor Daryl Turner, inventor of the Thyroflex machine, and were so impressed with this innovative technology for identifying thyroid issues, that we brought it to our Kettering and Mason Happy Hormone Cottages last spring. It has completely revolutionized the way we diagnose and treat thyroid issues. To say it has been completely life-changing is an understatement. Current standard of care uses blood work to identify potential thyroid issues. But blood only determines 15% of the thyroid in our body. The thyroflex machine uses the body's reflexes to test HOW the thyroid is functioning in our body. This is the 85% that matters. If we know how the thyroid is or is not functioning, we then know how to best treat it. Let me share one of our client's experiences with you:
"I'm so happy to share my Thyroflex experience with you. I've been using bio-identical hormone replacement therapy through the Happy Hormone Cottage for the last 5 years with great results. It has truly improved my quality of life! I've been able to stop taking antidepressants and arthritis medication, I can sleep through the night, my hot flashes are gone, and my libido has returned! Although my energy levels improved, the stresses of a busy life still left me dragging at the end if the day. I jumped at the opportunity to have my thyroid tested with your new Thyroflex machine. The results determined my thyroid was functioning below optimal levels and I was prescribed thyroid medication by your nurse practitioner. Within 30 days, I noticed improvement in my energy and mood. After 60 days, I feel like a new person. My outlook is even more positive and I have enough energy to last through the day and evening. I have lost weight and even my nails are stronger! Thank you so much for all you do for women's health. Keep up the good work."
We are so pleased to have this technology to offer you. For more information, you can go to my website at www.happyhormonecottage.com and click on "
Thyroid Health." We often recommend starting your hormone balancing therapy first, and then at your 3 month check-up, get Thyroflex tested and begin any thyroid treatment at that point. It seems to go easier on the body this way.
Also at our Vegas convention, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Suzanne Somers. We joined her Forever Health Network a year ago and are so pleased to be affiliated with such a great organization. In fact, we are THE Forever Health affiliate in the Cincinnati-Dayton area. This means that Suzanne
and her team of bhrt specialists have approved our Happy Hormone Cottage as a viable medical center in her Forever Health BHRT network. Quite an honor!
Our nurse practitioner, Angela Rothstein - our hormone whisperer (!)-is such an asset to our Happy Hormone Cottage. To have a practitioner on board who is passionate about women's health and hormone balance has been such a blessing. Client Kristen writes, "Dear Lyn, I want to thank you again for helping me get in to see Angela this week to discuss my urine strip test results. I always feel so much better after I meet with Angela. She takes time to truly explain my results and the plan for action. You have a tremendous team and I am so happy to have such a great resource with you and your staff at the Happy Hormone Cottage. Thank you!!"
Angela is also a great resource for weight loss, eating right and exercising. In fact, we are pleased to announce that Jeff is now compounding our awesome "belly fat capsules!" They are a combination of herbs and minerals that help improve the body's ability to burn fat. As in all compounds, they are prescription only, so you can make an appointment with Angela or talk with her at an upcoming appt about this amazing product. Cost is $30 for 60 capsules. I don't know anyone who doesn't want to burn belly fat! Sign me up!
The second edition of my book, "Own Your Journey" is in progress. This second edition will have new passages and information, including a section on pellets-the skinny on them and why we don't believe in them for women. This new edition will be available on Amazon, my online store and at our HHC locations as soon as it is finished.
My 'Women's Health Initiatives Foundation' is going strong. We are on our way to raising the $100,000 we need for phase 1 of our mission to
prevent breast cancer. Please Save The Date now for our 2015 fundraiser---Saturday evening, September 19. It will be another Date Night Decadence with music and dancing. We look forward to seeing you there!
I will close with a link to my blog, "
My Five Year Reflection as Executive Director of the Happy Hormone Cottage." I hope you like it! Please keep in touch! Our passion, as you know, is your best health naturally and we are honored to be a part of this journey with you. Let us know how we can further serve you. May 2015 be your best year yet!
