When reproductive hormones are balanced, you feel energetic, confident, vibrant and strong. Reproductive hormones affect so much more than the reproductive tract - and are essential for vital living. When they are imbalanced lethargy, anemia, stagnation, weight imbalances, and poor muscle tone are the result.

During this FREE presentation by Joyful Belly Founder, John Immel, you'll discover the impact of reproductive hormones on your body type (doshas), the inter relationships between reproductive and other endocrine hormones, and herbal strategies that restore balance.
