Understanding Your Mood, Mind and Hormone Cycle

“Finally, Some Common Sense Answers
About Your Hormone Cycle”

“Discover how the feminine hormone cycle affects your health and behavior.
The tools provided in this publication will help you improve your relationship
with yourself, your partner, co-workers and family members.”

Dear Friend,

If you’d like to lean how to live with your hormone cycle to become a more
effective person at home and at work, prevent re-occurring gynecological problems and understand and control cyclical emotional imbalances, then this might be the most
important letter you’ll ever read.

Here’s why:

The information and statistical data used in this book is based on the over
twenty-five years of field research conducted by Leslie Carol Botha. Leslie is an
internationally recognized expert on womenís hormone cycles, award winning
women’s health educator and advocate, a respected broadcast journalist and
creator of the popular Holy Hormones Honey -The Greatest Story Never Told!
radio program and website. Understanding Your Mood Mind and Hormone Cycle
is the product of years of research, analysis of the intimate relationship between
women’s hormone cycle and their everyday activities. The information in this
publication has been structured to give you a deeper appreciation of the power
you exercise over your life by simply learning about, understanding and
acknowledging your cyclical hormonal changes.

Now, I know you’re probably skeptical. That’s normal and healthy.
Let me give you three good reasons we can back up what we claim:

Three Reasons To Believe What I Say

Reason one: Leslie C. Botha has counseled women, their partners, and
co-workers individually, spoken at workshops and at national conferences about
our sacred hormone cycle and its relationship to our personal life journey as
we pass from adolescence to motherhood and finally to wise women
(grandmothers); while encouraging women to recognize the significance and
relevance that our hormone cycles have in our every day life. She has taught
menstrual health education in youth homes for abused girls, counseling young
women, 13 to 17-years old, about the importance of understanding their
hormone cycle in relation to their behaviors.

Reason two: Leslie is a member of the international organization, Society for
Menstrual Cycle Research that conducts and reports on feminine hormone
cycle research, while serving as a watchdog for the pharmaceutical industry’s
financial investment in women’s health studies. She serves as an honorary
advisor for the Foundation for the Study of Cycles. For her work in identifying
and analyzing recurring patterns of the feminine hormone cycle, Leslie was
recognized by the Foundation as a “pioneer in the study of female hormones
and behaviors”, and received the annual Edward R. Dewey Award.

Reason three: H. Sandra Chevalier-Batik is President of Serendal Research
Institute, and principle research analyst for IconicWoman.com. The Iconic
Woman Project was initiated to disseminate health-related information that effects women and girls, not regularly reported or analyzed by the mainstream press. Our goal is to
encourage women to pro-actively participate in their personal health and
well being by making informed decisions about their treatment and care.
Sandra has gained an international reputation as a trainer and consultant
known for taking highly complex subjects and presenting them in easily
understood modules. A nationally recognized Woman’s Advocate, Sandra was
awarded the SBA Region VIII, M/WBE Procurement Advocate Award, and the
SBA Advocate of the Year Award for Women in Business and recognized with
the other leaders of the Minority Women’s Chamber Coalition as the 690th
Point of Light by President Bush and the Point of Light Foundation.

Here is a summary of the benefits you receive:

The information in this publication will help you appreciate that female hormone cycles are not just a cyclical discomfort — they are women’s integral link to all the other cycles our life. Living with our menstrual cycle instead of against it, or by denying the cyclic production of feminine hormones through our body, gives you the freedom to “be”; to laugh, to cry, to change your mind, your career, your relationship or lifestyle and to know the reason why. Understanding the influence this cycle has will awaken you to a life that makes sense; that is filled with hope and will do more for you than all the self-help books that you could ever possibly read in your lifetime. We are giving you the tools and techniques to free the hormonal hostages! The physical and emotional fluctuations you experience throughout your hormone cycle, does not have to hold you, everyone else in your family, personal and professional relationships hostage. Understanding Your Mood, Mind and Hormone Cycle helps women recognize fundamental, biological changes in our own bodies, be more conscious of our natural cycle and gives us the information and tools to live in harmony with the monthly ebb and flow of our hormones. Failure to comprehend the cyclic nature of the feminine hormone cycle causes tension and can lead to inappropriate or self-destructive behavior. Understanding Your Mood, Mind and Hormone Cycle is the product of a six year research, analysis, and publishing project. The menstrual health information and tools featured in the publication have been field tested for over 25-years. This information and tools in this book are directly from Leslie C. Botha’s actual consulting and training experience. We know that this approach of recognizing and acknowledging your natural, feminine hormone cycle will empower you to take control of your body, mind and spirit. The information in Understanding Your Mood, Mind and Hormone Cycle has been consciously formatted to be visually accessible, easy to read, clearly understood, and simple to apply in your everyday life. This isn’t a book you just read, this is a publication you will use, mark up, scribble notes in, fill out charts, and share the resource pages with friends. The last section of Understanding Your Mood, Mind and Hormone Cycle, is devoted to additional menstrual health resources, including a glossary of medical terms, websites, books and women’s health organizations. The information and resources in this publication help you confidently communicate with your health care provider, and gives access to other organizations and publications that will assist you in moving through this most personal journey with grace and confidence. This publication explains our cyclical hormone fluctuations and the significant role they play in our personal and professional lives. Everything cycles…everything. When you recognize this, the physical and emotional fluctuations in your life will make sense. You will learn to simply let go of your attempts to control and trust the feminine flow of your cycle. This publication includes the same charts and tools that Leslie has used in her teaching and personal consulting practice. We explain how to chart your mental, emotional and physical symptoms. Using the charting tools you can see the symptoms repeat themselves in patterns – patterns based on hormone changes. At last you will understand your changes in attitude or physical well being. Your headaches, weight gain, depression, anxiety, anger, frustration, happiness, contentedness are cyclical and for the most part, completely predictable. The authors explain how the three phases of the hormone cycle, as well as the three aspects of a woman’s life cycle are integrally linked to each other, and supply charts and tools to help you track your menstrual cycle in relation to your physical, mental and emotional well-being. Understanding the rhythms of these cycles will add years to your life, while improving your quality of life. By becoming more physically aware of your natural cycle, you learn to accept your body with patience and compassion. Monitoring your mood in relationship to your hormone cycle allows you to be conscious of not only your emotion needs, but give you valuable insight and a sense of connection with the women around you. This publication offers common sense answers about your hormone cycle and provides straight forward menstrual health education and resources to pursue additional information. You will finally comprehend the intimate relationship between your hormone cycle and your daily activities. The information is structured to give you a deeper appreciation of the power we women exercise over life by simply acknowledging the physical, mental and emotional changes that the ebb and flow of our personal hormone cycle. Some women have been conditioned to ignore or be embarrassed by normal bodily functions, such as menstruation. This sociality-imposed ignorance has come at a grave cost to women and has left them vulnerable to pharmaceutical/ medical industry propaganda. Understanding Your Mood, Mind and Hormone Cycle helps you decode your hormonal fluctuations and appreciate their significance in our lives. Becoming aware of the nature of the feminine hormone cycle and how it affects women in all phases of their lives, translates into successfully living with your hormones to prevent re-occuring gynecological problems and mental and emotional imbalances.

Now, you’re probably wondering how and why we can do all those
things.

Let me explain.

Understanding Your Mood, Mind and Hormone Cycle is 80-plus-pages of
information, education, menstrual-tracking tools, resources and a medical terms
glossary so you can more clearly communicate with your health care provider.
It is our goal to give you the tools to understand your cyclical hormone changes
and how to apply that knowledge to your personal and professional life.

The information found in this book is unique in its focus. In most main-stream
medical literature, the menstrual cycle continues to be ignored as a causal factor
in women’s health. For generations, women have been told that their menstrual
cycle had no bearing on their physical or emotional symptoms. Medical
misinformation has taken a sharp toll on women’s self-esteem, and caused
them to question their choices and decisions.

Why are the tools we share in this book important?

Over a decade ago the British Medical Journal, Lancet published a report
describing when women are most disease-resistant. Keeping in step with your
body’s natural rhythms could add years to your life, especially if you are one
of the 40,000 to 50,000 pre-menopausal women who will face breast cancer
surgery this year. According to the Lancet report on the twelve year study of
forty-one women with breast cancer, those whose surgery is preformed near
the times of ovulation are four to fives times less likely to suffer relapse and
death than those who are operated on during or nearer their menstrual period.

Why the dramatic difference? Researcher William J.M. Hrushesky, M.D.,
senior oncologist at the Albany VA Medical Center in Albany, N.Y., speculates
that women’s immune defenses are likely to vary with her menstrual cycle and
may become most potent with ovulation. So her ability to fight disease may be
significantly higher that point of her cycle.

Leslie and Sandra have dedicated this book to the women who want to understand
the intimate relationship between their hormone cycle and their everyday
activities. It offers you a deeper understanding of the power you have over
your life by simply acknowledging and understanding your cyclical hormonal
changes. This book gives you the tools and helps you apply this information
to your life at home, at work, and in your relationships with families and partners.
Most importantly, perhaps for the first time in your life, you will feel like you can
reach your full potential by acknowledging your strength and who you truly are.

It is our goal to open your eyes to a “new you”, a woman who can trust herself,
her actions, understand her feelings and create a life of fulfillment by living with
her hormone cycle.

Understanding Your Mind Mood and Hormone Cycle will focus on the undeniable
connection between the behavioral characteristics associated with the three phases
of the hormone cycle; pre-ovulatory, ovulatory and post-ovulatory, the
mythological characteristics associated with the three phases of the lunar cycle;
waxing full and waning moon, and the psychological aspects associated with the
three phases that a woman passes through in her lifetime; maiden, mother and
grand-mother/wise woman. Topics that are related to hormonal changes will
also be explained and resources for additional research are included.

The purpose in understanding our cyclical hormonal flow is that which helps us
re-align with the natural cycles of the universe. The same lunar forces that cause
the ebb and flow of the tides pull our hormonal cycle. Understanding and living
with the hormonal cycle will help you understand the tides of physical, mental
and emotional behaviors that shape your life.

Understanding Your Mood, Mind and Hormone Cycle is a good resource for
men too. The information in this book will assist you in becoming the best friend,
lover, partner a woman ever had.

Don’t take my word for it. Listen to what our customers say:

	“Leslie presents health education that every woman should know, but it is information that has gotten lost in our modern society. Ancient wisdom that needs to be honored and passed from generation to generation and incorporated into women lives is what Leslie has to offer. Come, listen, learn and remember.” — Kay Rosenthal PhD, RN Director, Options for Healthy Living Assistant Professor, UCHSC, SON RNO, Immediate Past President Editor, Rise Above Publishing Co. “Leslie Botha is dynamic! She has been a wonderful addition to our teaching team and curriculum by adding exciting and extremely informative lessons and activities covering an array of pertinent topics to our population of students. Leslie is able to work with severely emotionally disturbed adolescents in a way that is appropriate, up front, and very effective. Leslie began in our schools just working with girls, and is now starting classes with our male students as well. I highly recommend her class!” — Mary Mills; PrincipalMonarch Academy Schools “Leslie’s class has opened doors of self-awareness and personal empowerment to girls that have experienced lives full of abuse, neglect, and objectifications. Through daily monitoring of their physical and emotional space, they have been able to re-connect with themselves on a spiritual level, enabling true success.” — R. Schmidt Educator, Monarch Youth Homes Blue Mountain Ranch “I’ve learned more about my cycle and how it goes with the moon cycle. Iíve learned how much power women actually have and how we can use it. Leslie has taught us about PMS, and how we act when we are pre-menstrual. We learn a lot from her and, sometimes, we have fun.” — Brittany – Age 16 “Holy hormones honey! Thank you for the recent workshop on our monthly cycles, our dwindling (and lost) female wisdom, and your suggestions on how best to schedule our activities to be better in tune with our monthly hormonal cycle. I found your moon and menstrual cycle chart, and a woman’s corresponding energy and mood levels, to be illuminating and very helpful! I can now be better in tune with my femaleness.” — Beth – Age 32

From our own personal experience, Leslie and I know that hormone cycle is
the key to womenís mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. Most
importantly, We have both lived what is shared in this publication. We have
gained this knowledge from understanding our own cyclic nature and from
studying anthropology, sociology, mythology, and gynecology. We’ve researched
women’s history, beginning with matriarchal cultures where women were valued as
cyclical beings and revered for the contributions they made to their societies;
to the societal norms of the present, when most women feel undervalued and
disconnected not only from their community, but from themselves as well. We
have raised a family based on cycles, built businesses on cycles, kept our health
according to the cycles of our own bodies and passionately want to share what
what we have learned with women of all ages, backgrounds and cultures. After
all it is the hormone cycle that connects women. It is the foundation of our being.

Leslie and I have devoted years to developing this comprehensive resource to
help women understand the cyclic changes of your body. BUT, If you are not
completely satisfied with your eBook purchase, simply notify us within one-year,
and we will refund your money, in full, with absolutely no questions asked!

Thanks to our 1-year Money-Back Guarantee,

You’ve Got Absolutely Nothing to Lose… and everything to gain!
