- Health & Fitness
A fascinating conversation with Dr. Kenna Stephenson, about her pioneering work in women’s medicine and the book she wrote, Awakening Athena, that was so ahead of its time in turning the conversation around women’s hormonal health from Big-Pharma to a focus on the physical emotional and spiritual needs of the essential female self.
We trust this heartfelt conversation with Kenna will empower our listeners to learn more about the hormones that rule our reproductive lives and to ask the questions you were too embarrassed or afraid to ask, like:
-WHY when I bring hormone issues up with my Ob-Gyn is the solution always the same, an RX for birth control or an anti-depressant?
-WHY is hormone testing never offered?
-WHY is one- size-fits-all synthetic HRT still prescribed for menopause symptoms when safer, bioidentical hormones have been available for over a decade?
Here’s a sampling of our Q & A with Dr. Kenna:
1. On self -care: something too many women abandon or never prioritize…how do we bring women back to caring for US FIRST, eg. 'put YOUR Oxygen mask on before helping those around you'.
2. On women’s Intuition: the 'trust your gut feeling…How do we get things out of the way that may distract us from hearing that inner voice?
3. On spiritual growth: how can women dig deeper and be less concerned with physical changes as we age and more with gratitude and growth in different ways.
4. On perfectionism: a real problem for high achievers: what strategies do you use to help these women?
5. We love your diagram of Love/Faith /Service being the true 'work' of a woman's life … tell us more!
