Featured Events January 2013
On Wednesday, Feb. 6, Women 4 Women will host the second Women Who Achieve Series event, presented by PNC. This event, The Venus Effect, is designed to help women better understand the effect hormones have on mood, metabolism and performance and how to replicate the ‘recipe’ that leads to optimal engagement in their personal and professional lives.
Rebecca Booth, M.D., author of the The Venus Week: Discover the Powerful Secret of Your Cycle...At Any Age and OB/GYN with Women First of Louisville is the speaker for the event.
Dr. Booth, one of Louisville’s most cutting edge doctors, treats over 90 patients a week and serves the community by speaking to organizations about female health issues and hormonal challenges. Recognized as a leader in women’s health, Dr. Booth has appeared on The Today Show to discuss the Venus Week and has been quoted in O: The Oprah Magazine, Redbook, Shape, Seventeen, Natural Health, Men’s Health, First, Chicago Tribune, Dallas Morning News and on CBS.com. She is a featured blogger in The Huffington Post and she has also been published in leading medical journals on topics that include preventative health care for women, menopause and hormonal management.
“Most women notice that monthly, as if by magic, they have a group of days in which they look better, feel better, and respond better to the world around them. This cache of days, which happens around the same time each month, is what I have come to call the Venus Week,” says Dr. Booth. “I am passionate about helping women learn to naturally manage their hormones so they can be their best all month long.”
All of the Women Who Achieve series events will focus on one of the four key areas of the Women 4 Women Economic Self-Sufficiency Model – education and leadership, jobs and earnings, health and safety, and social change and the single parent economy. Women 4 Women believes these areas, when developed help contribute to a woman’s ability to be self-sufficient.
“This session is designed to help women learn more about their bodies and how they have the ability to create personal optimization,” says Cara Baribeau, interim executive director for Women 4 Women. “We are excited to have a nationally recognized expert from Louisville offer this event to the community.”
