Synopsis

With WomanCode, holistic health coach Alisa Vitti shows women how to maintain health and vitality with a food-based program to rebalance their hormones.

Alisa Vitti found herself suffering through the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and was able to heal herself through food and lifestyle changes. Relieved and reborn, she made it her mission to empower other women to be able to do the same.

Whether you are suffering from irregular periods, fertility issues, depression, or lack of sex drive, Alisa Vitti says that meds and anti-depressants aren’t the only solutions. Groundbreaking and informative, WomanCode educates women about hormone health in a way that’s relevant and easy to understand. And the five-step protocol can markedly improve health and overall quality of life.

Bestselling author and women’s health expert Christiane Northrup, who has called WomanCode the "Our Bodies, Ourselves" of this generation, provides an insightful foreword.

About this title

About the Author

Alisa Vitti, CEO of FLOLiving.com
 
· Women's Hormonal Health Specialist
· Functional Nutritionist
· Integrative Health Coach
 
Alisa Vitti, HHC, AADP (Holistic Health Counselor, American Association of Drugless Practitioners) is the founder of FLOLiving.com, a virtual health center that supports women's hormonal and reproductive health.

Alisa began her journey in women's hormonal health 15 years ago, when she was battling frustrating health symptoms. At the time, Alisa weighed 200 pounds, was covered in painful cystic acne, had her period about twice a year, and felt chronically fatigued. Doctors could not figure out what was wrong. Alisa discovered she had PCOS.

The problem had been identified, but the treatment options were not so appealing. She was told to expect a future of diabetes, obesity, infertility, heart disease, and cancer. A voice inside of Alisa said "No!" She was not willing to accept this as her reality and took matters into her own hands. After graduating from John Hopkins University, where she was on the path to becoming an OB/GYN, she began studying integrative nutrition, Chinese medicine, and functional endocrinology.  Alisa completely healed herself of her hormonal problems and created a five-step protocol to help women around the world do the same.
After 10 years of running a thriving women's wellness practice in Manhattan, Alisa took her business online. Today, thousands of women in five continents are studying and implementing Alisa's protocol through her WomanCode System (WCS). WCS has served as a trusted resource for many GYN and IVF specialists who want to recommend a natural solution for their patients.
 
Alisa is a popular speaker who has presented to audiences as large of 4000 people. She has spoken at TEDxWomen, Hay House's "I Can Do It!" Ignite Tour, Women's International Summit for Health, The Reveal Conference hosted by Donna Karan's Urban Zen Foundation, and many more.
