This book is a definitive look at the relationship between digestive enzymes and hormones, and how hormonal imbalances in women can be traced back to enzyme deficiencies. A logical, no-nonsense evaluation of the current medical approaches that overlook enzymes as an ultimate solution. Dr. Fuller-Looney makes her case by showing that the symptoms of protein malabsorption are the same as the symptoms of menopause. Softbound booklet, 32 pages.

Longevity through Balance
It's all about balance. That is because balance, in turn, leads to
longevity. A good balance of adequate enzymes, good digestion,
and proper diet will naturally help hormone balance. Depending on
who you are genetically, depending on what foods you eat, depending
on what you are taking enzymatically, then you can look at hormone
treatments. But a woman should seek proper testing for a
hormone imbalance. This is a place for her to begin. And be aware
that testing is also available to evaluate your dietary and enzyme
needs. Every woman should play an active role in her own balance.
Hormone balance is an art. It is to be controlled or regulated by
both her and her doctor.
Yes, it's about how a woman experiences menopause. It’s also
about how different types of people handle digestion. We’ve
talked about hormones. We’ve talked about biochemical individualism.
All of that is meaningful because proper digestion is so very
important to our health. We need to digest our food, especially
protein. Why is it that, as we age, we have a problem digesting
protein? So many in nursing homes are wasting away, just skin on
bones. This happens even if they are staying active. What is it?
The one thing that all elderly people have in common is that they
cannot break down protein. They cannot build muscle. And that is
because everything is tied to the loss of enzymes.
It's about control, not blame. If you know what your choices are
but you continue to make poor choices, then it is something that
you have created and you are not in control. We have to stop doing
what doesn’t work for us. We do that by finding out the reasons
why it doesn’t work for us. Hormones, as I am finding out, are a
double-edged sword. Their being off balance can make you miserable.
Hormones can make you feel out of control. They are very
subtle that way.
