Body Blues Quiz Results
 You have what I call the "Monthly
Body Blues." You will benefit most from the LEVITY
program in the week before and after you menstruate. You
will go through this time of the month feeling more energetic,
cheerful, and relaxed. You will also be less tempted to
turn to food for comfort.
    The LEVITY program will be especially
helpful to you in the fall and winter months.
Make sure that you brighten your indoor environment in the early fall and get plenty of outdoor excercise-- even in the rain and snow.  Do your symptoms
tend to bother you most in the fall and winter?
Did your symptoms first appear close
to menopause or following surgical removal of your ovaries?
Are you still menstruating?   Having your ovaries removed or going
through menopause reduces your supply of estrogen, one
of the main triggers of the Body Blues. The LEVITY program
will help minimize menopausal symptoms such as fatigue,
foggy thinking, overeating, low sexual desire, sleep problems,
and irritability.
 Your symptoms don’t seem to be influenced
greatly by seasonal changes in light or hormonal swings.
They are ongoing. The program will prove beneficial to
you every day of the year!
   Do your symptoms get much worse in the
two weeks before menstruation?

You may have atypical depression,
a more intense form of the Body Blues that may warrant
additional treatment. I suggest that you make an appointment
with your health practitioner. However, the LEVITY
program may prove to be a valuable addition to other
forms of treatment.
