Happy Hormone Code - Step 3 - Cleanse Today I’m covering Step 3 of the Happy Hormone Code and that’s CLEANSE. We are surrounded by chemicals that can disrupt our hormones! We can't all wear gas masks, but we can minimise our exposure to these toxins once we know where they are hiding.
Do you know about your Feisty 4 Hormones? These 4 hormones are generally in control of how you look, feel, think and perform! They are; 1. Cortisol - your Stress hormone 2. Insulin - your Fat Storing hormone 3. Thyroid - your metabolism regulator 4. Oestrogen - your sex hormone Find out more about how they work and how you can get them working FOR you, not AGAINST you. #hormones #menopause #perimenopause #happyhormones #selfcare #hormonebalance #womenshealth #cortisol #insulin #oestrogen
Today I’m covering Step 2 of the Happy Hormone Code and that’s REST. It’s no good being on the best diet in the world if you’re over-stressed and cortisol is raging! Cortisol can really mess with your other hormones and affect your energy, brain function, weight, mood, sleep, digestion and libido! AND it can put you at higher risk of more serious conditions as you get older. You absolutely need to manage your stress NOW, not later!

We all know the general principles of how to lose weight. But there is no ‘one size fits all' diet that works for everyone. The reason is that we are all unique with different bodies, metabolisms, energy requirements, lifestyles, hormone levels and environments. And we all have a different genetic blueprint: 40%-80% of the variance in body weight can be down to your genes!

If you've been suffering from symptoms of hormone imbalance, testing can often be the missing link in your journey to full health.Doctors will often say that hormone testing is not worth doing, nd they're right when they only have access to blood tests.But there are other ways of testing that can be incredibly useful for identifying what your hormones are up to, and therefore the best way to naturally support them.

While menopause can promote inflammaging, the good news is that our diet and lifestyle can do loads to help us manage it.

If you're navigating the midlife or menopause journey, chances are you're not getting enough protein. And that's a bigger deal than you might think. As levels of oestrogen and progesterone drop, you're not just dealing with symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, and mood swings. Your body also faces challenges in absorbing and holding onto protein. The good news is that by upping your protein intake, you can tackle many of these issues head-on, reaping a range of health benefits in the process.
If you’re trying to be healthier, then you’ve probably tried including juices or smoothies into your diet. I often get asked which is better?As always, it’s not that clear cut! Both have pro’s and cons depending on what you need.So here’s my take on both smoothies and juicing , plus links to my favourite ingredients and smoothie recipes #smmoothierecipe #greensmoothie #juicing #greenjuice #healthyeating
If you’re starting a healthy eating plan or diet, you’ll most likely be told to give up coffee. It’s always been thought to be bad for you.The truth is that it’s good for some, and not so good for others.As with a lot of nutrition topics, coffee is not just black or white (forgive the pun…!). Read my blog to find out who can benefit from drinking coffee and who is best advised to avoid it. Which one are you? #coffee #coffeebenefits #drinkingcoffee #cupofcoffee #organiccoffee #bestcoffee

Working with women’s hormones, I get asked a lot about HRT and in particular, the benefits and safety. People assume that just because I teach women how to manage their menopause naturally, that I’m anti-HRT. In actual fact, I'm a big fan of HRT (the right kind). Whether you can or want to take HRT or not, the most important thing is that it's YOUR choice based on good information.

At the time of writing here in the UK, we are mid winter and at greatest risk of Vitamin D deficiency. We only get enough sunlight in the UK to make Vitamin D between mid May and September. You can get small amounts from some animal foods, but it’s not enough to keep levels in the optimal range. So unless you’re supplementing, you’re going to be deficient!

For YEARS, we’ve been told that fat MAKES YOU FAT (even healthy fats!). Ever since the 1950’s when research came out that linked saturated fat and cholesterol with heart disease, the low-fat food industry has flourished and we have avoided dietary fat like the plague.
