Hormones Part II

by Lia Halsall

When it comes to my health and fitness there’s not much I wouldn’t try or do for it, within reason of course. But I’m not afraid of trying different things with the possibility of gaining something out of it. Nothing ventured nothing gained. So next month I’ll be seeing a specialist who’s going to help me with my hormones in Brisbane.

I’ve been seeing a doctor here who’s good at what she does but doesn’t specialise in female athletes. I’m not a woman who needs to get her hormones sorted out so that I can return to just a normal life. Instead I want someone who understands my goals who can help me get the most out of my body for the training effort that I’m putting in. Then and only then will I be able to grow the maximum muscle mass and lose this stubborn body fat which has been hampered by my abnormally high estrogen levels.

Some may think that flying interstate to see a specialist is some what outlandish. I how ever don’t put a financial value on my health and well being. I’ll pretty much do whatever it takes in order to help me achieve my figure goals.

Of course, this has thrown a spanner in the works for me this year but that’s just life. I will still continue to work towards being the best that I can be.

Hi Lia

Whatever it takes to get you closer to your goals, go for it! I live in BrisVegas so if you get the time would love to meet you for a quick coffee. See how you go :) x

I would love too but it’s a fly in fly out visit unfortunately. I’m seeing my doctor then coach then straight back home. But next time I’m up there I’ll be sure to organise a catch up, for sure. xxx

You and me both Maraina.

Hormones are tricky little suckers so I just have to be patient and follow doctors orders. xxx

Hi Sweet,

It’s not crazy flying interstate… I used to travel to Sydney with my husband and his family every month to see an awesome Naturopath! It was the best thing we ever did!

Are you seeing Kathy? I am feeling pretty awesome since I went to her. Best thing I ever did and she is a true sweetheart. Can’t wait till you move here! Woooohooo!

PS: You looked hot at the wedding (in the pic on facebook of your makeup!)

I most certainly am seeing Kathy. I just can’t wait to get up there and get started with the treatment. It’s kind of a hurry up and wait process at the moment. At least it’s something.

I’ll have to ring again soon and pick your brains about the whole process.

Hope you are well. xxx
