Life has been full of joy, rest, and big things behind the scenes… and now I’m thrilled to share it with you.

Earlier in July,  I married the love of my life.  Our wedding day was near perfect—even the weather surprised us by dropping 10 degrees from the rest of the week! Surrounded by dear family and friends from across the country, it truly felt divine and magical.

Then, we flew to Maui for our honeymoon. Think: beaches, naps, waves, good books, a sunset luau, and a thrilling 27-foot monohull sailing adventure in 20-knot winds.

But there’s something deeper I want to share—something personal, raw, and real.

The truth about hormones, healing, and honeymoons

When I got married at age 40, I had no idea I was in perimenopause. No one had warned me.

Sex was painful. My body felt foreign. And while the emotional connection with my partner was strong, the physical intimacy was… well, not what I had hoped for.

(TMI? Maybe. But I share it because too many women silently suffer—and I want you to know you’re not alone.)

Fast forward to today. At age 65, I just had a honeymoon that was spectacular on every level—including physical pleasure, deep connection, and joy in my fully healed, vibrant body.

I want women—especially those in perimenopause or menopause—to know:

This is possible.

You are not broken.

You can reclaim vitality, pleasure, and confidence.

Healing is real. Whether through food, rest, emotional work, boundaries, or evidence-based support like epigenetic rebalancing or BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy)—you can thrive in this season of life.

This is the why behind all three of my books.

What’s Coming Next

If you’ve read my award-winning bestseller, Create the Vitality You Crave: Epigenetics 101 to Unlock Your Healing Power, you already know I believe in root-cause healing and hormone intelligence.

And now, I’m releasing the companion workbook—a practical, hands-on guide to help you integrate these healing tools into your everyday life.

Whether you’re a reader, a wellness professional, or someone finally ready to prioritize your body’s healing—this workbook is for you.

Then, in mid-September, I’ll be launching my third book:

Perimenopausal? Hormone Balance for Younger Women

This is the book I wish I’d had in my 30s and 40s. It’s for the women who are burned out, confused, in pain, or dismissed—and ready to take back control of their health, hormones, and happiness.

With love,
Lori
