Triple Whammy Cure The Breakthrough Women's Health Program for Feeling Good Again in 3 Weeks

Chapter One What Is the Triple Whammy? Believe me, I tried to think of a more scientific name for what's going on here. But really, what would you call a health problem that affects tens of millions of women, and is caused by three separate but tightly connected factors that work together? Furthermore, it's a health problem that's not a disease but that does underlie women's most common medical conditions. Doctors certainly agree that any of the three components of the Triple Whammy taken separately can cause all sorts of unpleasant symptoms. But they'll also tell you things like, "You have to learn to live with it" or "There's not a lot that can be done." What makes up the Triple Whammy? It's a devilish interaction among three factors: non-stop stress, low levels of stress-buffering serotonin (a brain chemical that is behind good moods), and imbalances in your female hormones. That's right. The situation that's making so many women feel anywhere from the euphemistic "less-than-well" all the way to the "utterly crummy" consists of stress, serotonin, and hormones. Here's why: - Women are poorly protected against the ravages of stress on their bodies because they have less available serotonin, which acts as a buffer to damp down the physical effects of chronic stress. - Women are genetically predisposed to low serotonin, one of the feel-good neurotransmitters in our brains. Women actually have more serotonin than men, but it doesn't work as efficiently. - Women have shifting tides of hormones -- which themselves control serotonin levels and function -- monthly and throughout life. And the result? These three factors conspire to make millions of women feel miserable, living their lives with Triple Whammy symptoms that often progress to one or more Triple Whammy disorders. Triple Whammy Symptoms Produced by the tangled influence of chronic stress, low levels of serotonin, and fluctuating hormones, Triple Whammy symptoms include feeling "beaten up" -- tired, achy, anxious, depressed, forgetful, headachy, and lacking energy and focus. Forgetfulness and sleep problems are common, as is a bloated feeling, with constipation or diarrhea. Craving carbohydrates (a cry for the body to produce more serotonin) is another symptom. Women with these symptoms chug through life feeling less than well most of the time. When things get really bad, women with Triple Whammy symptoms go to their doctor and hear the discouraging refrain "all your tests are normal." Here's something I want to repeat, because it's hopeful: your Triple Whammy is not a disease. But if you don't resolve its symptoms, one or more of the Triple Whammy disorders listed on page 24 usually develops. Each disorder involves a low level of serotonin aggravated by stress and is made worse by shifts in your female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. To complicate matters, low-serotonin disorders run through families like fault lines in California. While all women have less serotonin than men, some women also carry the "depression gene," making them even more vulnerable to Triple Whammy disorders. How you can feel well againRepeat after me: "Simple, fixable, not a disease. I can feel well again." Notice that I didn't lighten up the Triple Whammy by calling it "just an imbalance." Girl, this is an imbalance from hell. In this book, I offer you some powerful ways to quell the effects of the Triple Whammy.
