Tuesday, June 23: Library Hosts "Balancing Hormones Naturally"

The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., will host a one hour health information program, entitled "Balancing Hormones Naturally, " on Tuesday, June 23 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the library's Lee Room.

With 30 million menopausal women in North America, and some 20 million from the "Baby Boom" generation on the brink of menopause, balancing hormones is a timely and important topic. Hormonal imbalances play a large part in mood swings and emotional control. Finding effective methods of regulating hormones can do much to improve a woman's quality of life.

The free program will be facilitated by Dr. Carl Heigl. The event is open to the public. Space is limited to 25. Visit the Adult Services Dept or call 262.636.9217 to reserve a spot.
