As we begin this series, we want to start by giving you a taste of the many topics we’ll be covering in more detail in the later episodes. Women’s health is something that is very often over-medicated. You have PMS? Take this medication. You don’t want to get pregnant? Take this pill. You can’t get pregnant? Try these injec-tions. You are going through menopause? Take this hormone and these medications. What is normal? What does it mean to be a healthy woman?!

In this episode, we are going to begin our exploration into women’s health and uncover some of Lori Otto’s (wife of Jonathan Otto) story and why she wants to guide women on this journey to better their health, to rid themselves of chronic conditions, painful periods, infertility, hormone imbalances and more.

We want to identify the root causes of all these illnesses. There are many triggers for these conditions you encounter on a daily basis without realizing it. We will show you some amazing protocols that you can follow and simple lifestyle changes that can totally transform your health. We want to empower women to take their health into their own hands. Join us on this journey.

With statistics showing that 64% of Americans are drinking at least one cup of coffee a day, there’s no doubt that suffering from low energy may be a very real factor for adults living in the US. But the problem is bigger than every day run-of-the-mill tiredness. More and more people are being diagnosed with chronic conditions that include extreme fatigue and brain fog. These are conditions, such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, ad-renal fatigue, depression, anxiety, hashimoto’s and other thyroid conditions. On top of these statistics, more and more Americans are also seeking out sleep aids to help them be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. What can be causing all of these symptoms to manifest on such a large scale?

One key factor is stress. When our culture was to work outside in the fields, it may have had some physical stressors and the occasional weather-related problems that may have caused stress, but now that our jobs consist of sitting behind computers, with hundreds of different demands rushing at us constantly. We are in a continual state of fight or flight, always trying to jump from one thing to the next and it’s destroying our body’s ability to function properly. This state of living with elevated cortisol levels on a regular basis is causing chronic inflammation, which is leading to chronic diseases.

And on top of the demands of highly stressful jobs, new research is showing that traumatic events in our childhood and throughout our lives are affecting us in ways that we have been unaware of. In fact, the inci-dence of childhood trauma is directly correlated to the incidence of chronic or fatal illness.

All of these statistics may seem daunting, but the wonderful thing that we’ve found as we’ve researched for this docuseries, is that all of these issues are reversible. There are solutions and there is hope. We’ve inter-viewed countless people who have had a complete transformation in their lives when it comes to chronic illness, stress, fatigue, brain fog, and mental illness. And all these changes are possible with simple things you can start implementing today. Watch this episode to find out more.

More and more women are being diagnosed with hormone-related illness, such as endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids, and thyroid issues. Polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, is a condition that affects a woman’s men-strual cycle, fertility, hormones, insulin production, circulatory system, and appearance. Women have both male and female hormones, but women who have PCOS have higher levels of male hormones and experience irregular or absent menstrual cycles and small, fluid filled cysts on their ovaries. It is estimated that 5% to 10% of women who are of childbearing age have PCOS and at least 30% of women have some symptoms of PCOS.

According to the American Thyroid Association, one in eight women will develop a thyroid disorder during her lifetime, and women are five to eight times more likely than men to have thyroid problems. Unfortunately, the symptoms of thyroid disease mirror the symptoms of a lot of other issues and can go undiagnosed for a long period of time.

Often we feel that these conditions are completely outside of our control, however, many doctors have been baffled when their patients come back having completely reversed these conditions. The fibroid, the cysts, the hormone imbalance are all gone. Find out more about the incredible discoveries in health that are making this possible.

We live in a society where women, especially girls and young women feel a great deal of pressure to look like size 0 celebrities and supermodels. Not surprisingly, the U.S. weight loss industry hit a new peak in 2018, growing 4% to $72 billion.

Even though more than 90% of dieters regain their lost weight, Americans are dieting at the highest rate in history.

� 57 percent of U.S. women are now dieting according to a national survey

� Girls who diet frequently are 12 times as likely to binge as girls who don’t diet

� Over one-half of teenage girls and nearly one-third of teenage boys use unhealthy weight control behav-iors (skipping meals, fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting, and taking laxatives).

The Diet Industry sets us up to fail, knowing that once we regain the lost weight we will once again spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars embarking on yet another yo-yo diet.

And as usual, Big Pharma makes a big profit: prescription obesity drugs is a $655 million per year market.

An estimated 239,000 bariatric surgeries were performed in the U.S. in 2018, constituting a $5.98 billion mar-ket.

Stop the vicious cycle of losing weight, gaining it back, and beating yourself up.

In Women’s Health Secrets, we guide you through the simple lifestyle changes to not only losing and keeping off the weight, but gaining optimal health.

In this episode we will tackle the many aspects of women’s reproduction and fertility. From periods, to sexual health, to birth control, to fertility, to miscarriage, to menopause, we will delve into answering those burning questions that may be on your mind.

Is PMS normal? Is birth control safe? Are there natural ways to avoid getting pregnant? Is infertility inevita-ble? Is it reversible? What causes infertility? Are there things that could be triggering miscarriage and can it be avoided? What about menopause? Can it be delayed? Can I get through it without taking dangerous synthetic hormones?

As women go through the cycles of life, they are often treated as if their natural body cycles are diseases. In this episode we want to uncover the truth about what is really natural for a woman and what things may be altering those natural cycles and wreaking havoc on our bodies. And what can we do to stop and reverse the damage.

We have gathered the very best experts and doctors to discuss how you can best prepare your bodies prior to conceiving and support your health as a whole during the hormonal, emotional, and physiological changes during pregnancy. We address diet and detox, as well as the benefits of a natural birth and what holistic rem-edies can be used to help with discomfort, pain, and stress while promoting a calm, relaxing environment. Our experts even share how you can treat and eliminate morning sickness.

We’ve heard from many women who find the hospital environment to be cold, detached, dispassionate, stressful and bustling with impatient care staff who want you “In - Processed- and Out” as quickly as possible. That system is perfectly designed for speedy rotation and keeps expectant mothers quiet and often intimi-dated into submission, even afraid to ask, “Why?” or say, “Please wait just one minute while I decide what’s best for me and my baby.” Professionals with experience and medical degrees are telling us what we should do and what’s best for us. We are bombarded with so much misinformation and contradictions in this very vulnerable time—for some of us our very first time—that we begin to think, “Who am I to listen to the little voice inside and speak out? Of course the doctors and nurses know better,... don’t they?”

Not necessarily. Never has it been so important for you to follow your intuition, ask questions, and decide what is right for you as an individual and for your baby. I know many of us moonlight as superwoman and are afraid to ask for help, but having someone you trust and who will advocate for you can be a very powerful tool in your journey or re-journey to motherhood. Asking your partner, a friend, a doula, a parent for help in supporting your decisions and backing you up with healthcare practitioners can relieve the burden on you so you can focus on having a happy and healthy birth experience for both you and your baby.

Our functional medicine physicians have discovered that nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune conditions brought on by pregnancy, and gut related issues can be responsible for many postpartum symptoms. In this episode they share with us the secrets to the supplements, minerals and nutrients -they have found to be an equally effective alternative to the harsh chemicals in pharmaceuticals used to treat postpartum depression, and are usually much safer for breast-fed infants.

Our skin is such a good gauge of our internal health. Many skin symptoms are a sign of an unhealthy internal environment and it’s important that we’re able to access that and realize that our body may be crying out for help. When we see rashes, acne, even premature wrinkles and age spots, we need to take note. In this epi-sode, our experts help us to understand how our skin can be a barometer in determining our state of health. The incredible thing is, when we are able to detox our system, sleep well, and rebalance our gut microbiome, we can transform our skin as well.

Many of the skincare products that we use today are loaded with unhealthy chemicals that are wreaking havoc on our bodies. So, in this episode, we also cover what to look out for and where to go to find the best products.

Diet can also have a profound impact on our appearance and it’s important to realize the role of this in our everyday lives and beauty routines.

ABOUT LORI & JONATHAN OTTO

Lori Otto is a natural medicine advocate and investigative journalist who, along with her husband Jonathan, has traveled around the world uncovering little-known natural health secrets from renowned doctors, researchers, and health experts.

For many years, Lori was in a losing battle with her body. Nothing worked. No medicine helped. Doctors could not heal her and said much of it was “in her head”. By turning to natural remedies and supplements, she successfully overcame hypoglycemia, anemia, digestive allergies — including IBS, bloating, and pain to the point of being afraid to eat — significant respiratory and skin allergies, adrenal fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain, and was able to cease her prescriptions for anxiety and depression. Lori credits this dramatic healing to a foundational anti-parasitic detox combined with gut healing and restoration that allowed her renewed intake of healthy nutrients to be absorbed properly.

Before her own severe health issues were corrected, she was a devotee of standard medical care and, in her own words was “very skeptical” towards natural medicine. Through her travels and her husband’s earlier work, she observed countless testimonials of healing success achieved through natural remedies. “I could no longer deny the power behind natural medicine and its incredible results.”

Lori had struggled to get pregnant but is now the proud mother of a healthy baby boy, Asher. Throughout her healing journey, she studied all she could about pregnancy and labor, and this learning experience inspired her to create the groundbreaking 9 Episode Docuseries, Women’s Health Secrets. Her goal is to educate and empower other women, offering them hope and healing.

Jonathan Otto is an investigative journalist, humanitarian, and award-winning documentary filmmaker. His life narrative is characterized by his unceasing desire to uncover truth and alleviate suffering in the world. He volunteers his own time overseas, especially in Africa where he has sometimes faced life-threatening situations, and for which he continually draws finances from his own pocket, whenever necessary.

Jonathan has turned his attention to seeking truth and exposing error in the areas of health and wellness. This has led him to create and collaborate as an editor and producer on many health films and projects, such as the docuseries, The Truth About Cancer and The Truth About Vaccines with Ty Bollinger, and Diet Against Disease with Dr. Joseph Mercola

In recent years, Jonathan has created and produced his own self-hosted docuseries, Depression, Anxiety & Dementia Secrets, Autoimmune Secrets, and Natural Medicine Secrets. These docuseries represent his unceasing global quest to find truth, gathering stories and protocols from world-renowned health experts and their patients.

It’s been Jonathan’s supreme pleasure to collaborate with and support his beautiful wife, and mother of their young son, Lori Otto.
