Synopsis

For years we have been lead to believe that the best way to lose weight is just to "eat less and exercise more." For years Kate Callaghan exercised two hours a day and ate less than 1,200 calories. At 13% body fat, she lost her period, developed osteoporosis, and discovered she was infertile. As a fitness professional, she was horrified at what she had done to herself, and she set about reconstructing her health. Here, Kate demystifies the science behind female hormones, explaining why low-carb diets might not help women achieve optimum results. She offers solutions to common problems such as how to lose body fat, build muscle, reduce bloating, sleep better, increase energy and not worry all the time about what to eat. Most importantly, Kate outlines the ways women can help nourish their bodies to feel confident and beautiful in their own skin.

"Hormone health and ditching diet and fitness fads is the (refreshing!) future of wellness. Kate is on the cutting edge of this, walking her talk." —Sarah Wilson, author, I Quit Sugar

"Kate's book is a full manual on how women can reach optimal health through real food. She addresses hormonal issues like PCOS, infertility, blood sugar imbalance and digestive health in a sensible, thoughtful way. Her solutions include a nutrient-dense diet plus she address training tips for stress management. I recommend her book to all women who are looking for a well-researched, proven path to wellness based in evolutionary biology.” —Diana Rodgers, RD, NTP, dietitian, author, farmer and mother, sustainabledish.com

"Should be re­quired reading for any woman who wants to start a well balanced, Paleo-inspired diet and get her hormones working for her, not against her." —Laura Schoenfeld, MPH, RD ancestralizeme.com
