Perimenopause/Menopause Hormone Changes- What to Expect. Blog#6

Menopause is a completely natural transition that every woman will go through just like the onset of puberty. This is a very special phase that women experience and yet, no one prepares us for it. I know perimenopause caught me off guard because the changes were subtle. One month I had a heavy period, one month it was normal. One year I missed 2 periods then all back to normal. My fatigue was on and off, my moods up and down. I related it all to my stress of work and home life. No big deal. As women, mothers, wives, homemakers, workers, we deal and move on, we adjust. It's no wonder our cortisol is out of control. All the stress and no one teaches you about balance. The thing is this, menopause will not happen overnight or a one-day event.

Gut permeability also known as " Leaky Gut", is one of the most overlooked factors in 90% of all autoimmune and most other diseases. This was something I have learned over the course of my studies in functional nutrition and integrative health. I have come to the realization that yes, we may be at risk if we are born with a genetic predisposition, however, we don't have to accept that these are the cards we are handed and must then just live with the disease. We have the power to heal our own bodies by providing it with exactly what it needs to heal itself. So, what is Leaky Gut? This is the state where the lining of your digestive tract becomes irritated or compromised, allowing substances that normally stay inside the gut—like partially digested food particles, toxins, or bacteria—to “leak” into the bloodstream. This isn’t how the gut is supposed to function, and in holis...

Liver Detoxification- A Functional Nutrition Approach with Ayurveda Principles

🌿 YOUR LIVER’S NATURAL DETOX PROCESS🌿 Understanding Phase 1 & Phase 2 in simple terms ✨ COULD YOUR BODY BE CARRYING A TOXIC BURDEN? ✨ Every day, our bodies encounter substances from our environment—including air pollution, pesticides, plastics, certain chemicals, alcohol, medications, highly processed foods, seed oils, and other environmental compounds. Some substances are fat-soluble , meaning they can be stored more readily in fatty tissues and may remain in the body longer than water-soluble compounds. Your body has incredible systems for processing and eliminating these substances, but ongoing exposure can add to the body's overall toxicant burden. Over time, certain environmental exposures may contribute to oxidative stress, inflammation, cellular damage, and processes associated with premature aging. eeek!😲 🧟‍♀️ AND THEN THERE ARE “ZOMBIE CELLS” The scientific term is senescent cells .
