A plain-language talk on women's hormone health: what moves your hormones, why the symptoms show up, and where to start. Built on the DESTRESS approach I trained in as an Integrative Health Practitioner, and taught the way a nurse teaches, so you leave knowing what to do next.
As an Integrative Health Practitioner I was trained in the DESTRESS approach: eight areas of everyday life that shape how your body makes, uses and clears its hormones. We walk through each one, and you leave with something to do in every area.
Blood sugar swings, skipped meals and too little protein keep stress hormones high and leave the rest short on raw material.
Takeaway: what to eat, and when, for steadier energy and steadier hormones.The right dose of movement supports blood sugar, mood and bone. Too much with too little recovery can push cortisol up and everything else down.
Takeaway: how to find your dose for this season of life.Cortisol is the hormone your body makes first when life is heavy. Ongoing stress shows up as cycle changes, poor sleep, cravings and a short fuse.
Takeaway: three ways to bring the load down that fit a real schedule.Many everyday products, from plastics to fragrance to cleaning sprays, carry chemicals that act like hormones in the body.
Takeaway: the simple swaps, and how to support the body's own detoxification pathways.Deep sleep is when your body repairs, resets cortisol and regulates the hormones that control appetite.
Takeaway: why women's sleep changes across the decades, and what actually helps.Grief, resentment, worry and a nervous system stuck on alert all show up in the body, and hormones are where they show up first.
Takeaway: what regulation looks like in real life, not on a retreat.Vitamin D, magnesium, B vitamins and omega-3s are common gaps for women, and gaps show up in energy, mood and cycles.
Takeaway: what testing tells you, and how to fill a gap on purpose instead of by guesswork.Hormone health is built in ordinary weeks, not perfect ones. Starting over every Monday is the pattern that keeps women stuck.
Takeaway: the two or three habits that carry you when life gets loud.A hot flash, a 3am wake-up, a cycle that arrives early: each one is your body telling you something upstream has changed. Chasing the symptom quiets the message. Finding the cause changes the outcome.
That is how I work with every client, through the GIL Factor Method: Gather your story, Identify the patterns, Lead you forward. The talk is the first step of that same path.
The talk is complete on its own. Everything else is there if you want to keep going.
If you want more than a checklist, this is where I start with new clients. The Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test is an at-home lab kit (saliva and blood) that looks at the hormones behind energy, mood, weight and sleep in one picture:
It is a snapshot, not a diagnosis. It shows what is out of range so we know where to look. The why comes from your story, and from deeper testing if the picture calls for it. We review your results together on your consultation.
There is nothing to buy to attend the talk. Ask about the lab when we speak. Lab testing describes what it measures; it does not diagnose or treat any condition.
I'm Stella Cameron, PhD, an Integrative Health Practitioner and Functional Medicine Certified Coach. Before coaching I spent more than 20 years as a Medical-Surgical nurse and nursing instructor, and that is where I learned two things that shape this work: most women are not listened to for long enough, and most bodies will tell you what they need once you gather the whole story.
Today I work with women over 40 who are dealing with fatigue, digestive trouble and burnout, and I help them find the real root of it so they can feel like themselves again. GIL Factor Wellness Solutions is where I do that work, one woman at a time.
Leave your details and I will send you the date, time and location, plus your Self-Check before we meet.
Bringing a friend? Have her register too so she gets the materials as well.
No. I am a nurse by background and an Integrative Health Practitioner by training, but this talk is health education and coaching. It does not diagnose or treat any condition, and it is not a replacement for your doctor. It works alongside the care you already have.
No. The talk and the Self-Check are complete on their own. The lab is an option for women who want to see their own numbers, and we only go into it if you ask.
It depends on the group hosting it. Once you register I send you the details for the next date.
You leave with the Self-Check and one thing to do in each of the eight areas. If you want to go further, you book a free consultation and we look at your situation together.
Yes, please do. Have her register too so I can send her the materials.
One talk, eight areas, and a clearer picture of what your body has been trying to tell you.
