Combining Chinese and Western Medicine Offers Big Benefits for Women’s Health and Menopause

January 18, 2006 - Naturopathic Doctor Laurie Steelsmith will appear February 16, 2006 as a special guest as a guest on Dr. Liz Lipski’s Access to Health Experts interview series to discuss her book, Natural Choices for Women's Health: How the Secrets of Natural and Chinese Medicine can Create a Lifetime of Wellness. Dr. Steelsmith will discuss her findings that women can create a lifetime of optimal health and wellbeing by blending the extraordinary benefits of natural medicine from both the Western tradition and ancient Chinese teachings. The presentation will have a special focus on women's health and menopause issues.

  • During the free one-hour teleseminar Dr. Steelsmith will cover the following topics:
    Five Element Theory and how it keeps women’s health in balance
  • Balancing Yin and Yang
  • Orchestrating women’s hormonal dance: natural solutions to menopausal symptoms,
  • Perimenopause, and PMS
  • Restoring women’s liver health and essential vitality
  • Creating optimal breast health

As a strong advocate of prevention and the natural power of the human body to heal itself, Dr. Steelsmith uses therapies that are primarily natural and non-toxic to address women’s health and menopause. She prescribes medicines and lifestyle changes which stimulate the patient's healing process, rather than drugs which simply suppress the symptoms and may have multiple unhealthy side-effects. It is vital in her training and practice to diagnose and treat the underlying cause of disease.

Highly trained in both traditional Western science and alternative medicine, Dr. Steelsmith is uniquely qualified to determine what is best for women's health and menopause. She blends centuries-old knowledge of natural therapies with the latest medical advances in scientific diagnosis and treatment.
