Women Know Your Hormones

Women Know Your Hormones - lecture: Thursday 5 November 2026, 19:00–21:00, Østbirk Bibliotek, Østbirk. Tickets cost 75 kr.

By Cecilie Zeuthen, NHT®-certified hormone therapist and cand.ling.merc.

Hormonal imbalances affect women of all ages - from menstrual pain and PMS with mood swings and breast tenderness to fertility problems, and later in life hot flashes, sleep difficulties, brain fog, tendency toward depression, dry mucous membranes and reduced libido. It takes a toll on energy and quality of life, but help is available.

The lecture guides us through what happens to sex hormones in different phases of a woman's life, and what we can do ourselves to restore or maintain a healthy hormonal balance. The starting point is the books "Natural Hormone Therapy" and "Women Know Your Hormones" by Anette and Jens-Ole Paulin, which focus on the causes of imbalance and the possibilities for correcting it - including the use of bioidentical hormones such as progesterone.

Cecilie enriches the lecture with client stories from her clinic and her own experience with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), two stress-related sick leaves that triggered low metabolism and severe PMS - and how she restored her hormonal balance and became a mother.
