For the Wise Women Who Want to Enjoy their Best Years Ahead
Holistic Healing Restores the Natural Harmony of All the Dimensions Within You.
It's the body, mind or heart's natural way of bringing itself back into alignment and balance. When we heal a physical injury we are left with a scar. When we heal an emotional injury we are left with wisdom from our experiences. Each one requires us to rest, take time away from what we are doing and give ourselves the space our MindBody needs to go through its natural restorative processes.
Medications and medical treatments of course can help you. You should always consult your physician before making lifestyle changes. However, the main thing responsible for us actually “healing” and feeling better is allowing the natural processes of our bodies to run their course.
A huge proponent of holistic healing involves our mindset, how we talk to ourselves and what we believe. If our mindset is in alignment with our natural healing process, it will be faster and more efficient.
If you dread the process, have a negative mindset, harbor self-limiting beliefs then you will avoid the necessary actions you need to take to actually heal.
Healing the symptoms and illnesses also involves healing your mind and emotions because they are closely linked to one another.
Women Going Through Hormonal Changes Can Naturally Return to A Place of Balance & Midlife Calmness
Hi! My name is Robyn Narciso, I am a certified & trained Women's Holistic Hormone Health Practitioner specializing in Peri-menopause and Menopause. I am also the creator of The R .E.D. Method. This program was inspired by the hundreds of women I've worked with over the past 8 years, who had such incredible stories of self-transformation, healing and breakthroughs.
Their stories of hardship, and the will to find healing within themselves gave me the courage to really study something I myself feared-aging and menopause. My share of life events left an imprint of worry, shame and fear in me. As a teenager, I witnessed my own mother going through a debilitating mood disorder, extreme panic attacks, high paranoia of dying any moment and depression for over a decade.
Looking back with a deeper understanding and education of women's health,
I can now say that 90% of my mother's mental & emotional hardships were tied to menopause. At that time, her doctors were just giving her antidepressants and sleeping pills. No one in my family ever thought of checking on her hormone imbalances. The idea that her lifestyle was exacerbating this was totally foreign to us. We were left with the idea that our mother was going through some kind of mental and emotional illness.
The truth is she was actually experiencing the symptoms of menopause. Her lifestyle was making these symptoms worse without her even knowing it. She was under constant work stress from running our family business, she hardly did any exercise and spent most of her days sitting down behind her desk. She always ate high fatty foods with high carbs and minimal nutritious whole foods. She was also addicted to coffee and loved tasty fast food. Although these things brought her a fleeting sense of comfort, they were making her symptoms far worse.
Years later, I discovered that hormonal imbalances effect women in different ways. Studies show that these imbalances are linked to stress, lifestyle, mindset and one's emotional health.
Fast forward to 2023. My Mom is doing well, she no longer takes any antidepressants and is now into all natural healing. I proudly credit myself for that last part.
Your Medicine Is A Natural- Holistic Lifestyle
My mission is to help women make conscious lifestyle choices that minimize the negative effects and symptoms of peri-menopause and hormonal imbalances.
- I aim to educate women about the natural processes that happen in their bodies during the stages of aging , the chemical changes that naturally happen in their bodies, and what to do in response to them.
- Above all else, I aim to help women realize how interconnected the mind and body are, and how they function as one. Through making conscious lifestyle changes, I aim to empower women with the tools and knowledge they need to enjoy this period of their life, rather than fear it.
Instead of going though a mid-life crisis, I want you to find Midlife Calmness.
When You Do the Same Things, You Get the Same Results
Have you tried to find relief from hot flashes, like taking special medications or topical progesterone creams? They may have worked for a few months and you probably felt really good. However, somewhere along the way, a life event happened that sent you on an emotional roller coaster. You notice that the hot flashes are back, your body starts to ache in different places, plus other symptoms are making your health worse.
If you don't make a change in what you are doing, do you think it could it get any worse than it already is now?
A woman's body in menopause is in a constant state of change & fluctuation. Although our entire system is designed for homeostasis, it requires more support as we age . It can be supported by things in our immediate control such as diet, exercise and lifestyle changes.
Our bodies are like machines. When they are new and fresh out of the box, they work perfectly and can perform at their best. Their moving components operate smoothly and each part functions properly with ease.
As time passes, machines and bodies alike go through an aging process. The older a machine is, the more maintenance and attention it requires to function properly. If you had a 1965 classic Shelby Mustang GT and never took care of it, you probably wouldn’t be able to drive it now in 2023.
However, if you did take special care of it, then it would probably still run fine as a high performance classic car.
The same is true for our human bodies. When we are young, we are full of life. We have energy, zest, youth and vibrancy. Our injuries heal faster, our organ systems function better and we need less maintenance.
As much as we may dread this fact, aging is unavoidable. All things and people can never escape time. As we age our bodies change. If we are not aware of these changes and we do what we have always done, we experience more discomfort, illness and stress.
However, if we are aware of our natural aging process and implement customized self care practices, we will be able to still enjoy doing the things we love. We will be able to live lives free of unnecessary injuries and discomforts and we can still look and feel good.
Conscious aging is embracing your natural process. It is being aware of what you need to do to keep your body healthy by adjusting your lifestyle, diet and habits to be in alignment with your body’s unique aging process.

These Five Factors Need to Work Together for Hormone Balanc
You Might Be In More Need of This Education Than You Realize!
- Improve Gut Health - Now science shows we should go one step further and prioritize gut health — specifically our gut micro-biome (the community of organisms that live in our GI tract) — because it has such a profound impact on our overall health and performance. The Gut is not only key to our digestion (which is important, of course), but also plays a role in our immunity, metabolism, inflammation, moods, cognition, and performance. It is no surprise that it can be impacted by the hormonal fluctuations of menopause. The gut micro-biome is one of the main regulators of circulating estrogen.
- Optimize Liver Functions -We often think of the liver as the “detoxification organ”, and it definitely is. The liver filters blood to remove bacteria, modulate bile secretion to eliminate cholesterol, regulate hemoglobin, breakdown products and toxins, remove negative remnants left by prescription drugs and excretes excess estrogen. High estrogen, or estrogen dominance, is one of the most common hormone imbalances. The main site for the detoxification of estrogen is the liver. The goal is to turn estrogen from a fat-soluble molecule into a water-soluble molecule so it can be excreted. This ONLY happens in the liver.
- Balance Insulin Levels - Insulin resistance is when you have consistently high levels of insulin. Insulin is the hormone responsible for stimulating your cells to take up energy in the form of glucose. And when it comes to perimenopause and insulin resistance, low estrogen is the underlying issue. When estrogen is too low, your cells become resistant to insulin. Insulin resistance will leaving you feeling exhausted, foggy, and constantly "han-gry" (hungry + angry).
- Reduce Adrenal Fatigue - Chronic stress is particularly worrisome for women in menopause because it leads to the over-activation of the HPA axis (Hypothalamus-Pituitary -Adrenal). This results in Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome. During peri-menopause, as the ovaries slow their estrogen and progesterone production, causing the adrenal glands take over hormone production. However, since many of us live with round-the-clock stress, the adrenal glands can become exhausted, and their ability to produce these hormones decreases.
- Support Thyroid - Monitoring thyroid function is important for both genders; however, thyroid issues are far more common in women than men. It is estimated that one in eight women will suffer from thyroid problems at some point during her life. And hormonal imbalances due to thyroid disorders can have serious reproductive consequences for women. Thyroid function is a highly delicate feedback loop that impacts multiple body systems. Individuals suffering from thyroid dysfunction often experience a diminished quality of life and are at risk for a number of illnesses because the hormones of the thyroid gland impact almost every cell in the body.

Holistic Healing Based on Extensive Research and Real Evidence.
The premise of The R.E.D.Method is healing your mind body and spirit as one unified unit.

My expertise is rooted in combining the best practices from both the ancient natural healing systems such as Ayurveda and Eastern Medicine with the latest evidence-based studies & research.
