WomanCode: Unlocking Women's Health - A Holistic Approach to Hormone Balance, Fertility, and Wellness Through Nutrition and Lifestyle Changes Kindle Edition
With WomanCode, holistic health coach Alisa Vitti shows women how to maintain health and vitality with a food-based program to rebalance their hormones.
Alisa Vitti found herself suffering through the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and was able to heal herself through food and lifestyle changes. Relieved and reborn, she made it her mission to empower other women to be able to do the same.
Whether you are suffering from irregular periods, fertility issues, depression, or lack of sex drive, Alisa Vitti says that meds and anti-depressants aren’t the only solutions. Groundbreaking and informative, WomanCode educates women about hormone health in a way that’s relevant and easy to understand. And the five-step protocol can markedly improve health and overall quality of life.
Bestselling author and women’s health expert Christiane Northrup, who has called WomanCode the "Our Bodies, Ourselves" of this generation, provides an insightful foreword.

Vitti's revolutionary five-step program gives you the insight and tools you need to:
· work in harmony with your body's natural rhythms
· minimize the impact of toxins in the environment, your diet, and the products that you use
· target and support the parts of your endocrine function (blood sugar, adrenals, elimination, or reproduction) that need attention
· tap into the immensely transformative power of your feminine energy
Passionately and strategically, the WomanCode protocol gives women from their teenage years to perimenopause the keys to unlock their hormone health. Giving a brain-to-ovaries explanation of what is going on inside your endocrine system, Vitti can help your whole body thrive. Now that you have turned on your healing power, you are better able to power up your purpose in life. If we're in the flow of our internal rhythm, we'll also attract effortless opportunities, enjoy moments of creative expression, and connect intimately with others--that's when we're in the flow of our power, our life-force energy, and our fullest potential.

Alisa Vitti, HHC, AADP (Holistic Health Counselor, American Association of Drugless Practitioners) is the founder of FLOLiving.com, a virtual health center that supports women’s hormonal and reproductive health.
Alisa began her journey in women’s hormonal health 15 years ago, when she was battling frustrating health symptoms. At the time, Alisa weighed 200 pounds, was covered in painful cystic acne, had her period about twice a year, and felt chronically fatigued. Doctors could not figure out what was wrong. Eventually, Alisa discovered she had PCOS.
The problem had been identified, but the treatment options were not so appealing. Doctors told Alisa that she would need to be medicated for life. She was told to expect a future of diabetes, obesity, infertility, heart disease, and cancer.
A voice inside of Alisa said “No!” She was not willing to accept this as her reality and took matters into her own hands. After graduating from John Hopkins University, where she was on the path to becoming an OB/GYN, she began studying integrative nutrition, Chinese medicine, and functional endocrinology. Guess what happened? Alisa completely healed herself of her hormonal problems and created a five-step protocol to help women around the world do the same.
After 10 years of running a thriving women’s wellness practice in Manhattan, Alisa took her business online. Today, thousands of women in five continents are studying and implementing Alisa’s protocol through her Hormonal Sync System (HSS), a one-of-a-kind online learning and support program. The program teaches women how to fix their period, protect their fertility, improve IVF cycles, recover from post partum mood, and boost their energy and libido. HSS has served as a trusted resource for many GYN and IVF specialists who want to recommend a natural solution for their patients.

2 Years TTC, Have PCOS, Immediately Got Pregnant

- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2013About a year after moving to New York City, I started having two periods per month, sometimes menstruating for 14 days at a time. They were incredibly painful, my emotions were all over the place, and my skin was breaking out like never before. I often experienced bleeding during sexual contact, and was consumed with worry about my health. I consulted several doctors, and each one gave the same answer — “I don’t know what to do about this.” I was confused, frustrated, and scared when an enlightened friend referred me to FLO Living.
In my consultation with Alisa, I knew I was in the right place when she said, “Don’t worry — I know what’s going on here.” Feeling heard, acknowledged, and loved in that call was my first step towards healing.
My work with Alisa was nothing short of a miracle. I started feeling better after the very first session, and began to create a new dialogue with my body. She is a wise and empathetic listener, and I felt wrapped in love and healing energy after every session. She introduced me to new, delicious foods and powerful supplements that helped my body return to its natural balance. We also addressed the ways in which my work and relationships were affecting my health. Most importantly, though, she gave me a true peace of mind, and helped me get rid of my own judgment and shame about the messages my body was sending me. Alisa created a safe space and guided me gently into embracing and nurturing my feminine energy. By the end of my program, I felt juicy, healthy, alive, and more comfortable with my sexuality and my body than ever before. Through FLO Living, I now have one normal period per month, without use of any drugs! I don’t experience the pain or emotional turbulence that I did before, and have learned how to create healthy boundaries in my life to keep stress levels down. My skin is clear and gorgeous, and I enjoy nurturing myself with whole, fresh foods (and the occasional cupcake of course…).
I am SO excited that Alisa's life-changing, and indeed life-saving, work is now available in this wonderful book.
I would recommend FLO Living to any woman, whether she is struggling with her health or simply wishes to live her best life. It is the best thing I have ever done for my health.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2017This is absolutely the BEST book I've ever read about women's health.
Honestly, I thought this book was going to be a bust. I only gave it a shot because I had tried everything else. I never expected to stick with it, but it's become second nature and now I can't see myself ever going back. It has completely changed the way I eat, exercise, work and live--it's helped me balance my hormones, eliminate skin issues, manage my blood sugar, improve my sleep patterns, minimize my PMS mood swings and cramps, and understand my body better. This month is the first time in the 12 years since I first got my period that I didn't take a single pain pill. I used ginger and a heating pad for some minor cramps. Amazing!
If you have thyroid issues, PCOS, painful cycles, fertility problems, missed cycles, acne, weight problems, fatigue, depression, endometriosis, any hormonal issues (or even if you think you have no issues)--buy this book, download the app, and start reading her website, FLO Living. A lot of people point out that the book is a little repetitive at times and doesn't go into as much detail as they'd like. I think this is partially true, but the book is like the foundation. The other resources are the stepping stones to build on the foundation. Use them all! We have to be proactive about our health and do some of our own investigating--so no, she doesn't hand you everything. But if you spend a couple days reading more specific topics that pertain to your issues on her website, you can basically build the protocol tailored to your needs.
Ultimately, there is no reason we should have to live with hormonal issues at any age. It's not normal. Once I really thought about it, it made sense. Why do we try to do the same things day in and out (eating the same foods, doing the same exercises, etc) when as women, our hormones fluctuate on a weekly basis where our bodies need different things to thrive? Why aren't we supporting these hormonal changes every week so we can live our best lives? Once you know how to do it, it's simple!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book that every young woman needs.
This is a fantastic informative and engaging book. I haven't finished it yet but already I recommend it to every single young woman.
This book was highly recommended by a fitness and lifestyle influencer called Lucy May, I decided to snap it up along with thousands of other women just like me because at the time there was only one copy left and I managed to buy it!
The book goes into full detail about the our cycles and how things can affect them such as diet, stress, weight and many other factors. It has helped me to understand my body more and basically listen to it, it has also given me the motivation I needed to eat more healthy and do more exercise.
For those who suffer with bad periods, PCOS, irregular periods, PMS or maybe you would just like to know what our amazing bodies can do in detail then I recommend you buy this book if you can! You will not regret it.
