'Metabolism is key to health'
Moon Spanjer,
Women's health doctor
An innovative health practice that helps you address the source of your symptoms
Are you consciously working on your health but getting stuck? Need a different perspective on health? Many health problems start with a metabolism that is no longer working optimally. And you can do something about that!
Do you want to understand where your symptoms come from? Work on your health in a fundamental way? Let me support you.
For the past 10 years, I have been studying the female metabolism. Metabolism provides the energy that makes us alive. With that energy, you feel energetic, your hormones are balanced and your digestive and immune systems work as they should.
At Body Logic, we look at the state of your metabolism. And teach you how to influence it yourself. With attention to you as a unique person. This creates a plan to revive your metabolism, the fire within your body.
In part 1, I talked about the role that oestrogen plays in fertility: important for the creation of new life! But oestrogen also plays a role in too much inflammation, which can actually reduce your fertility.
Fatigue, fluid retention, mood swings and irritability a week before menstruation. For many women, these symptoms are very recognisable and a huge handicap. Often, they also get worse after the age of 35.
In medicine, we mainly look at fertility in a mechanistic way. This causes modest success rates in the fertility industry and little attention to the role of hormones, nutrition and lifestyle. In this article, I discuss the role of hormones and metabolism in impaired fertility.
There is plenty of advice out there on what not to eat during pregnancy. Perhaps more important is what exactly you should eat in pregnancy. Which nutrients will help you and the foetus? In this article, I give you my seven most important nutrition tips for pregnant women.
Orthomolecular medicine has often fascinated me, but at the same time always put me off a little. Why? Orthomolecular medicine is not always scientific...
Don't get me wrong, it can be scientific. The pure meaning of the word 'orthomolecular' includes the meaning 'the right substance in the right amount'. However, orthomolecular medicine has come to mean much more than that.
Congenital defects such as a harelip or heart defect do not just happen. Often, the cause is not found. Almost always, several factors play a role. Using the stories of three children with congenital defects, I discuss what factors these may be. With this information, I hope we can prevent congenital defects in the future!
Every three months, I publish a substantive newsletter reporting on my research. In accessible articles, I discuss the latest scientific findings related to women's health.
My name is Moon Spanjer. Doctor and researcher. While studying Medicine, I did not know what I wanted to specialise in. But I did have one passion: metabolism as a source of health.
After years of self-education, I followed my heart and started Body Logic. This is where I put my passion into practice. Of course, there was no specialisation for me. After all, all organs in your body need a functioning metabolism.
Such a well-functioning metabolism, I wish you that too! And the practical insights I get from research I want to share with you.
My mission is to give you the knowledge and tools to take control of your health. Knowing what your body needs. What you can do yourself. On the road to a vital metabolism.
Because if your metabolism works well, and you make enough energy, you can live!
