SURVEYS

LADIES, WE WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. Please answer the following:

Do you ever feel like you have a hormone imbalance?





RESULTS from MAY/JUNE survey

100% of people did not care what occupation their partner did.

Sam Beau Patrick, is the Health Queen.

She is passionate about ladies’ health and empowering people to be the best and healthiest they can be.

Part of Sam’s vision is to have this website used by over 1 million women around the world, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Ultimately the content will be driven by YOU, the user, so feedback is priceless.

Please take the time to check here occaisionally for new surveys. From this feedback we will publish the results and fashion the site around the information gathered. It will be amazing what comes out!

One of Sam’s areas of interest is into a health condition currently called poly cystic ovary syndrome, which she is renaming to be called Female Hormone Disorder or FHD.

Below is a summary of what she is finding in her health clinic, and what ultimately lead to this website. Essentially the more women work or become “civilized” the more they alter their base hormone levels.

There is very  little reaseach and documentation around the world on testosterone levels in women, PCOS, cortisol and influencing factors. Sam suspects, but needs more research and data (to prove her theories) about the impact of foods, xenoestrogens (substances from the environment that mimic estrogen in the body), stress and cultural shifts (such as women moving from the traditional home-duty roles to the work force).

By you taking an interest and sending this site to all your girlfriends, Sam is hoping to collect data from one million women world wide. The internet is a wonderful tool to collect data but your help will be needed. Spread the word, the link as much as you can.

The following is a survey about feelings towards female professionals.

All surveys are anonymous and we ask that you answer as best you can.

Thank-you for being a part of this wonderful research.

PRESS RELEASE OCT 7th 2009

Gold Coast Hormone Expert confirms that females are becoming men! Testosterone levels in females is on the rise.

“..One in ten women of childbearing age has PCOS… PCOS leads to high levels of androgens.. ”

http://www.womanshealth.gov.au

Since the 1970s ladies have been entering the work force in large numbers and over time have managed to scale the same corporate ladders as their male counterparts. During the same time period, women are engaging in more physical, and previously male dominated sports, such as cricket, soccer and rugby!

But were woman biologically designed to climb ladders or mug each other on a footy field?

Sam Beau Patrick, The Health Queen, suspects not. What Sam is finding in her clinics (in ladies aged 20-50) is a phenomena that would medically be termed PCOS (High testosterone) is on the rise. Not in a little way, but at an alarming rate.

“..up to one in three ladies in my clinic have elevated testosterone levels..” and “they are having feelings associated with this – anger, rage, acne, excessive facial hair and are finding it very hard to relax and be happy..” said Sam from her Health Queen clinic.

The other physical changes these ladies are experiencing are insulin problems (so weight control is difficult), changes to cortisol levels (stress hormone) so that they always feel tired, and anxious.

Sam would like to see a move to change the current term and diagnosis of poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) as it is misleading. Sam prefers to refer to the condition as Female Hormone Disorder (FHD) as not all ladies experience ovarian cysts (as the title PCOS implies). Many doctors not trained in this area often only look for the ovarian cysts and miss the diagnosis and tell ladies there is “nothing wrong” which makes them feel even more frustrated.

The medical hormone tests she runs, supports the finding that females are becoming men. Testosterone levels are higher than they have been in previous decades.

The hormone testing is a simple test able to be done at home from saliva. Results take up to 2 weeks and can be ordered online and costs from $95.
