A complete, step-by-step program of sensible and healthy eating advice designed especially for women. Written by an educator and nutritionist with considerable experience studying the food habits of many cultures, the book provides readers with a complete program for making eating choices that can lead to better health through hormonal balance. Based on an insightful new approach to eating called the Food Wisdom Pyramid, this program describes how the flavors and colors of foods indicate the presence of certain phytohormones that may help balance and regulate one of the body's most complicated systems. Drawing on her world travels, cases from her private practice, and her own life experience, the author gives women practical advice on how to use their own senses to know what foods their bodies need. The program includes a section of delicious recipes, along with tips for shopping, meal planning, and eating.
