Foreword by Dr Sandra Cabot

It is my great pleasure to introduce Jenny Birdsey to the readers of her exciting new book. I am sure that the information in this book will fill in many missing parts of
the jig-saw puzzle for women searching to find hormonal balance in their lives.

I have known Jenny personally for several years and have had the pleasure of working with her in Australia in our mutual quest to help women gain the knowledge they need to be healthy. Jenny is a nurse whose life was shaped by
her own hormonal problems for which she could find no real help. This led her into a long journey of research to discover the real truth behind the hormonal chaos experienced by herself and millions of other women.

The journey has not always been easy for Jenny, as is true with most pioneers into new territory however this has not daunted her indomitable spirit and passion to help others. Jenny Birdsey seeks the truth and will not settle for anything less. She has known rejection, frustration and isolation which has really helped her to become the woman she is today. Jenny is no longer the naive girl she was a decade ago - today she is a strong powerful force in the wilderness of hormonal disorders.

She has a huge compassion to help women who battle with hormonal problems which has given her the drive to write this ground breaking book on hormonal problems. Jenny has also started a clinic in Geelong where she helps women with weight problems that are associated with the hormonal imbalance of Syndrome X.

I have personally trained Jenny in techniques for weight control and she works closely with my Women’s Health Advisory team in Sydney.The hormone progesterone has been in the limelight for several years now and many women are now able to take advantage of its health promoting benefits. Jenny calls progesterone “the worlds best kept secret” and if anyone understands the tremendous benefits of progesterone, I would say it is Jenny Birdsey!

Jenny has worked tirelessly behind the scenes for years to bring progesterone to Australian women. She has worked with the WA government and TGA to make progesterone a legal and available prescription drug. She wanted the use of progesterone to be controlled from the top levels thus ensuring a high level of quality control and professional prescribing. Jenny Birdsey has taught several Australian doctors how to use progesterone to alleviate such problems as -

Premenstrual Syndrome,
Postnatal Depression Menstrual bleeding problems,
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Menopausal symptoms, and much more.

In the year 1998, Jenny Birdsey founded The Natural Progesterone Advisory Network (NPAN) to enable women to have a comprehensive information base about progesterone and indeed all hormonal matters. NPAN is also working to see progesterone treatments made available on the NHS and to ensure that more doctors are aware of its tremendous advantages.

At last we have a comprehensive, down to earth, authoritative book on progesterone.This book is well researched and fills in the missing links that all women need to find the hormonal truth in their lives.This is now possible because
of Jenny Birdsey,who would not rest until she had discovered the real truth about hormones.Thankfully for us she did!
