Could digestive issues be masking a more serious problem? That’s what Kate Kordsmeier found five years ago when she was diagnosed with PCOS. After trying a cocktail of various prescription meds, each with their own slew of side effects to deal with, enough was enough—she decided to heal herself naturally. Kate got off the pill and found a holistic integrative doctor who helped her rebalance her hormones with whole foods and supplements. Although she was originally a skeptic, she was blown away by the results. Just 12 months after she embarked on her holistic health journey, she felt amazing.
Kate founded Root + Revel to share her experience and connect more personally with her readers. Her website is packed full of tips on living an 80/20 lifestyle and detoxing your world from chemicals. It provides natural recipes for delicious whole foods and toxin-free skincare and household cleaning products. Kate is all about finding the balance between “good” and “good for you.”
What you’ll discover:
- What the pill does to your hormones.
- How the pill may be affecting your dating life (without you even realizing it!).
- Simple tips to eat more naturally (without compromising on flavor).
