I am blessed with having met so many women in my consultation during the years. They have told me about their health and how they feel. Based on partly their stories, my professional observation and functional test, I have categorised them in endocrine body types. It is helpful, for some women, to narrow the “self work plan” and regain vitality by targeting the challenge of hormone imbalances and the possible reasons causing it.
All of us include all the four hormone types because all of us have similar endocrine systems. But the way and how the system function, varies and has to do with the uniqueness of who we are in our specific environment and culture. You are unique because no one else has lived or is living your life!
I consider myself being To Go type. But I have a great deal in common with the Yo yo type and the GAS type. When I support my dominant To Go type the other two are more calm.
You can read more about the different types in my book 10 Years Younger in 10 Weeks and or book a Private Session.
