If you missed the recent series of free talks on "Stress and Hormones" by Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and CHEK Practitioner Jennie Delbridge, don't worry as you now have another opportunity to find out more about this interesting subject for women.  Following popular demand, two more free talks will be held at The Best Western Hotel, Les Champs-Blancs, 1279, Chavannes-de-Bogis on Tuesday 27th March from 10h to 11h30 and 19h30 to 21h.

A new 10 week workshop on Stress and Hormones for Women will also start on Tuesday, 24 April at 10h00 at the same venue.  Click here for more details on this website.

"Stress is involved in every common health complaint," says Jennie, who has studied chronic stress related disorders for the last 5 years. "Stress affects the adrenal glands which affect your hormones," and, according to Jennie, women are often frustrated by the lack of clear medical answers.

Common symptoms such as low energy, foggy thinking, sleeplessness, weak muscles, weight gain, depression, mood swings, blood sugar issues, skin and hair problems, osteoporosis, PMS, premature aging, loss of libido and hot flushes can all be attributed to chronic stress, adrenal malfunction and hormone imbalance. Yet, often only the symptoms are treated.

In response to the increasing demand for new moms wishing to recover their form after giving birth, GET FIT fitness coach, Leigh Anne Boonzaier has set up a new Stroller Club class, which will take place 3 times a week in the Geneva region.

The focus of the classes will be to establish cardiac fitness in a social environment, which offers post-natal support at the same time. The program will demonstrate the key steps in learning to run, and will show you how running and fitness can be a way of life, not just a seasonal past-time or trend. In a short time, moms should begin to see how they can “get their bodies back” and feel good.

The program provides a very gentle, step by step, introduction for moms into the fitness world again. All groups will have a fitness goal that is achievable, giving moms the confidence to continue their fitness journey. Each session will begin with a warm up, and end with a gentle cardio finish off with core training to strengthen post-pregnancy mothers’ core. Sessions will last approx 1 hour.
