I'll be in New York City the weekend of February 19-21st, conducting classes at the Open Center, and also doing personalized thyroid coaching sessions. Here is information about how to sign up for classes, or schedule a coaching session.
Most people with thyroid disease (whether it's Hashimoto's, nodules, Graves'/hyperthyroidism, or thyroid cancer) end up with an underactive or surgically removed thyroid and hypothyroidism, and wind up experiencing fatigue, depression, weight gain, hormonal problems and many other symptoms.

The workshop is called "Living with Thyroid Disease: Creating Your Wellness Plan," and will focus on developing hands-on tools to help us live successfully despite an underactive or non-functional thyroid, and learn how to map out a plan for optimal wellness.

Hormone Balance After 40 Workshop
Are your periods erratic? Your sex drive vanishing? Having problems with sleep? Are you gaining weight? Feeling moody? Losing hair? Having dreaded "hot flashes" or "night sweats"? These symptoms can signal any one of a number of hormonal imbalances for women over 40. Many women also experience a thyroid slowdown that can cause or exacerbate many of these symptoms, as can a high-stress lifestyle, insufficient exercise, a less-than-perfect diet, and adrenal burnout. In this workshop, I'll will cover thyroid, reproductive hormone and adrenal/cortisol imbalances and the uses of estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, and "bioidentical" hormones.

Rebecca Elia, MD
For over twenty years, Dr. Rebecca Elia has worked with thousands of women in her office practice as a holistic gynecologist. She received her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine and completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology in Northern California. She became Board Certified in 1993. Her passion to understand the connection between the multiple factors shaping an individual's life and health fueled her decision to become a physician. She now focuses her attention on how imbalances in women's lives affect their health. During her medical training, feminine-masculine imbalances became apparent--imbalances of productivity vs. caring, linear thought vs. intuition, doing vs. being. She has directly experienced one such effect--that of increasingly depersonalized healthcare.
Dr. Elia has worked in both large HMO systems and also in the private sector with renowned women's health expert Dr. Christiane Northrup.
Dr. Elia has presented talks on Creating Feminine Health to diverse audiences in both California and Greece, where she spends as much time as possible. She is currently working on her first book Creating Feminine Health, Finding Balance in a Masculine World. You can read her two blogs or sign up for her free "Creating Feminine Health Newsletter" at www.rebeccaelia.com. You may also follow her on Twitter -- @rebeccaelia -- or join her Creating Feminine Health group on Facebook.
