Dr. Amy Beckley shares her journey from personal infertility struggles to creating an at-home hormone testing platform that helps women understand and advocate for their hormonal health. She explains how women's healthcare often overlooks hormone imbalances until they become severe issues, leaving many suffering unnecessarily.

• Hormones affect every cell in our bodies, impacting everything from fertility to brain function, bone strength, and heart health
• Many women's health issues stem from hormone imbalances that are easily treatable when properly identified
• Traditional healthcare often takes a reactive rather than preventative approach to women's health
• Conditions like PCOS and endometriosis affect 10-12% of women but take an average of 10 years to diagnose
• Perimenopause typically begins in our late thirties, with hormone decline starting well before official menopause
• Progesterone is critically important for mood balance, sleep, and overall wellbeing, yet remains poorly understood
• Self-advocacy and community support are essential for navigating women's health challenges
• The Proov hormone testing platform allows women to track and understand their hormone patterns at home

Visit ProovTest.com to learn more about at-home hormone testing and join their supportive communities on Facebook and Instagram.

What does it take to walk away from a 20-year emotionally abusive marriage with nothing but a suitcase and a few canvases? Jodi Law shares her remarkable journey of transformation from feeling like "a lodger in my own home" to creating a life of authenticity and inner peace.

Unlike physical abuse, emotional abuse leaves no visible scars but devastates your sense of self. "You don't know who you are anymore because everything that you think is questioned by the other party," Jodi explains. After leaving her marriage and rebuilding her relationship with her children, Jodi discovered that conventional therapy and medication weren't enough to help her heal. Instead, she found transformation through yoga and energy medicine practices that allowed her to reconnect with herself on a profound level.

As a former healthcare professional who worked in intensive care and cardiac catheterization for 30 years, Jodi brings a unique perspective to holistic healing. She explains how our bodies' energy systems work, why 90% of chronic illnesses stem from stress keeping us in "fight or flight" mode, and how simple energy practices can create balance. Now, through her 12-week energy medicine program, Jodi helps others find their authentic selves and create lives aligned with their true purpose. "Your body is designed to heal itself," she shares. "You just have to give it the right environment to do so."

Ready to explore how energy medicine might support your own healing journey? Visit Jodi-Ann Law's website for free resources including affirmations and anxiety relief techniques, or book a complimentary consultation to learn more about taking control of your health naturally.
