24.01.2022 Stage 1 - Acute: Adrenal Activation "Girl you don't even know" DEFINITION: Girl on FIRE... But don't mistake this with a GIRL ON FIYAH ...these are 2 very different things. THis is the kinda fire caused by burning the candle at both ends... she's literally about to catch on FIRE. She's burning through adrenal fuel like it's going out of fashion, temporarily feeling on top of the world, high energy, BIG 'to do lists', she prides her self-worth on how much she can achieve and how many people she can please. Keeping up appearances is a big thing for stage 1 adrenal activation, girl is always in such a rush with her "busy" go go go lifestyle which makes her feel like shes winning at life but on the inside shes dying. Completely out of touch with her heart & disconnected from her feminine energy. Stage 2 - Adrenal Dysfunction: Semi Acute / Semi Chronic AKA: Girl sort your shit out, it's about to get real DEFINITION: Walking Disaster Girl is physically spent from doing to much and not honouring herself. After operating in auto-drive, more in her decision making masculine energy, she's now becoming irritable and snappy due to the resulting unconscious resentment she is now feeling towards other because she's continually putting others first and not giving to herself. The cracks are beginning to show and she's feeling physically & emotionally flat but still trying to put on a brave face & soldier on. This girl has ZERO boundaries & continually says no to herself as she says yes to everyone else Stage 3: Chronic: Adrenal Exhaustion AKA: Girl gone MIA DEFINITION: Hot Mess By this stage, girl is a shell of herself, she doesn't even know who she is anymore or what excites her, but she doesn't even have the energy or mental capacity to care about it as she's always sick or flat out dragging herself out of bed anyway. This is a forced body shut down due to the inability to continue carrying on because girl has spent all her resources and robbed Peter to pay Paul. At this stage, girl needs a complete lifestyle overhaul & some serious self-worth intervention Stay tuned....

23.01.2022 Part 2 - Over-coming Oestrogen Dominance COLON CLEANSING....It's all about the environment!!!! And if your colon is congested, toxic & over loaded with crap....THAT IS NOT a healthy environment for beneficial bacteria to thrive in! ... We cannot create or support a healthy gut microbiome if your colon is congested....and the reality is, the average person has 2kg of toxic mess within their colon. This toxic environment on the other hand is a breeding heaven for parasites and bad bacteria. Colon cleansing is essential for maintaining healthy hormone balance & keeping exogenous oestrogens under control. There's 3 crucial components to a colon cleanse for effective results & I STRONGLY advise addressing all 3 if you want results & don't want to cause harm in the process.. Juice fasting....made with a cold pressed juicer, NOT a blender, freshly squeezed & a minimum of 1.5-2litres daily This is essential for softening & softening the hardened mucoid plaque trapped in your colon Colon Cleanse powder, Balanced Babes CleanseME is a great choice This is essential for attaching to the mucoid plaque & dragging it out of your colon Enemas - to ensure the colon is flushed regularly through the cleanse & toxins are not reabsorbed back through the colon wall. The colon cleanse powder is a bulking agent; it doesn't cause diarrhoea, so its important to keep things moving through the bowel with morning & evening enemas to ensure that mucoid plaque is stripped away. And if you want to do a really good job & target the bad bacteria & parasites you can team your cleanse with an anti-parasite product and something to upregulate liver detoxification to really ramp up the benefits! You will never be on top of your oestrogen dominance until you surrender to the fact....your bowel environment is everything. Using 'quick fix' alternatives, like progesterone implants to "bandaid" your oestrogen is nothing short of dangerous & merely keeping you stuck in your suffering.

23.01.2022 Girl you stink Why are 'period' farts so much worse than normal farts?!?! Or why do you pass more wind while on your period in general?? Let's get one thing clear... Girls fart. We have the same digestive system as men, so let's just embrace it like the fellas do.... Secondly, farts are normal. It's yet another clever way the human body, eliminates, detoxes and releases energetically, the waste & byproducts of biological cellular processes, namely digestion & stuff we don't need in our body to function optimally. Here's what's not normal Really foul smelling farts (anytime of the month) Diarrhea during your period Constipation during your period So if you have a toxic, congested colon that is backed up with mucoid plaque, undigested food, overgrown with bad bacteria & maybe even parasites, because... You're a Meat Eater You struggle with sluggish bowels Have used antibiotics in the past 5 years Are on the pill Eat dairy and other congestive animal products like eggs You will have a toxic congested colon. It's just the way it is, I'm not saying you can't consume/use the above things, but if you do, you need to commit to doing a colon cleanse at least a couple of times a year if you want to maintain happy healthy hormones. When your colon is congested you are exposing your reproductive organs to a whole heap of inflammation, increased prostaglandins & toxic blood flow which not only causes period pain, the growth of cysts and abnormal endometrial growth it leads to smelly farts, skin break outs, foggy brain, crappy energy levels & cranky behaviour. Smelly period farts are yet another way your very clever body is letting you know it's out of balance, depleted and toxic. Excess wind and bloating in the lead up to your period is also a sign you are not metabolising your progesterone correctly and your liver needs some help! So next time your dropping fart bombs on your boyfriend, see if you can rope him into doing the Balanced Babes Colon Cleanse protocol together, you'll both be better for it and it might save your relationship Check out the free protocol on my website

21.01.2022 Here's the most important piece of information that you need to know from this post... At this stage....YOU STILL HAVE A CHOICE. Stage 2 - Adrenal Dysfunction: Semi Acute / Semi Chronic ... Keep going as you are & inevitably end up with chronic fatigue...or STOP & start listening to what your body is trying to tell you "Girl sort your shit out, it's about to get real" Energy levels fluctuate from high to low, typically experiences a ‘2nd wind’ in the evening after a 3pm slump Anxiety and occasional panic attacks with hot flushes Bouts of insomnia, sometimes feel ‘wired but tired’. Can lay awake for hours or wake frequently through the night Feel the need to eat carbohydrates more regularly, crave sugars or will not feel satisfied/full even after a big meal Starting to get more frequent colds, 2-5 colds per year or other infections i.e. urinary, chest, sinus, tonsillitis, thrush Weight changes, difficulty losing weight, starting to put weight on more easily especially around the mid-section Memory and concentration starting to struggle. More frequent emotional outbursts,tears, anger and irritability Bowels fluctuate between loose to constipated TSH levels started to increase as thyroid health is becoming stressed & depleted Sweaty hands, hair falling out, skin starting to break out Insulin resistance starting to form & weight gain increasing Periods starting to become irregular, with longer cycles Irregular dream recall & waking feeling startled as if the dream seemed very real Irregular cortisol levels, but levels beginning to deplete Muscles becoming tired, weak and sore with some cramping and eye twitches Noticeable fluid retention around face, arms, thighs, belly, chest All detox efforts, diets, cleanses & raw food fasts result in no to minimal weight loss General attitude: FML

20.01.2022 *TRIGGER WARNING - VULNERABLE SHARE* What's the EMOTIONAL wound behind your FAT? When our body is reluctant to 'lose weight' inspite of healthy eating, exercising & making the appropriate healthy lifestyle changes... it generally means that there's an emotional wound that needs healing?... SHAME & REJECTION are the 2 biggest underlying contributors as to why your body CANNOT & WILL NOT let go of fat. When our emotional body is so deeply wounded, harbouring suppressed feelings of shame & rejection, from previous life experiences, we subconsciously choose to protect ourselves by 'padding' the physical body with layers of fat for protection. This serves to suppress the emotion so that the trauma is out of our conscious awareness & we cannot feel it anymore. It also allows the ego to 'be right' by keeping us stuck in the 'ego story' associated with the trauma we experienced as the core wound. Let me give you a VULNERABLE real life example... At age 23 I had my first 1 night stand & although this was something I consciously chose & thought I wanted at the time, it went against a lot of my subconscious programing & beliefs...at my core I believed that it was wrong, shameful, "only sluts do that" as they were the ego stories/beliefs that I carried. As a result, the experience turned out to be one of the worst of my life... Upon finishing the act I walked into the bathroom & returned to my bedroom several minutes later to find that he had promptly grabbed his stuff and run out the door without even saying goodbye or acknowledging me. In that moment I felt immense shame. I felt dirty & I blamed myself for how worthless I felt, believing that it was all my own fault for being so promiscuous & consenting to such a 'sinful act' in the first place. But vibrationally, that experience was the exact match as to what my ego believed. So of course I attracted a man who was willing to play out the role which allowed my ego to say 'see i told you so' making my ego stories right. Thats the the thing about the ego, it always wants to be right, so you will always call in the exact experiences you need to prove your beliefs right. 'Everything we experience in our day to day life is a direct reflection of our subconscious & conscious beliefs' So for many years I went on to believe that I was disgusting, unlovable, dirty & worthless & those feelings of shame & rejection, I believe are a big part of the reason why I gradually put on 13kg in the years to follow. It wasn't until I addressed the physical AND theemotional elements to my 'weight' gain that I was able to lose the weight. So what is the ego story that your 'fat' is trying to protect?

20.01.2022 'Hating our hormones'.... it's become such a toxic culture of blame & disconnection, leaving women suffering in their bodies more than ever! Ladies let's get a few things straight... YOUR HORMONES ARE JUST THE MESSENGERS...... Stop shooting the messenger & investigate what your 'imbalanced hormones' actually represents THE ACTUAL HORMONE IMBALANCE ISN'T A DISEASE... But it may be being caused by an underlying disease or a chronic illness that is starting to emerge, so don't try & balance your hormones with synthetic hormones, bio-identical hormones or even natural herbs & vitamins...the imbalance is alerting you to a potentially bigger problem, work out what that is! HORMONES GO OUT OF BALANCE BECAUSE SOMETHING IS MESSING WITH THEM... Usually some kind of 'stressor'. Identify it & rectify the problem....don't silence your hormones cry for help with the oral contraceptive pill or herbs. The stress will only continue to damage your tissues and organs further, but now in silence because you are masking the symptoms with your pill or product. START LOVING & THANKING YOUR HORMONES They are your your internal spy intel which is letting you know important information about your health....EMBRACE hormonal imbalances, they are the key to understanding your health & leading long happy, healthy life!

18.01.2022 I have ZERO doubt that stress is the leading cause of deaths tress, as stress is indicated in EVERY disease process known to man... Stress weakens our immune system Imbalances our hormones Burdens the liver ... Damages our cells Debilitates our emotional wellbeing AND absolutely makes us FAT!!! Stress is both a physical & psychological trigger If you feel stressed, due to finances, bullying, relationship struggles, fears etc the body will engage in the 'STRESS RESPONSE' If your bodies normal cellular functioning is compromised ie body becomes to acidic, blood pressure drops or increases, the cells become dehydrated etc the body will engage in the 'STRESS RESPONSE' When the STRESS RESPONSE is engaged, the central nervous system goes into the 'fight or flight' defence mechanism in order to protect us from danger & keep us alive This leads to an elevated production of cortisol & adrenaline which although it gives you the extra boost to run or think on your feet when in danger, these hormones have a debilitating effect on thr body, especially if you are producing them continually over an extended period of time....when you are STRESSED ALL THE TIME Long term effects of these hormones The body prefers 'quick hits of energy' in the form of glucose which fuels the 'fight or flight' response so you'll crave carbs more often, experience lows in blood sugar levels & eventually develop insulin resistance The liver becomes burdened & sluggish & its ability to burn fat as an energy source is compromised...so we start storing it instead Due to the body wanting to stay 'prepared' for danger it will intentionally store fat in preparation for hibernation When the adrenals are activated & eventually exhausted the thyroid will also be weakened leading to an underactive thyroid response Stress essentially means, your body won't burn fat effectively. SORT YOUR STRESS OUT...to be continued

17.01.2022 This is what Adrenal dysfunction looks like....do you recognise it? This was 2012....and years of partying, way to much alcohol, late nights and lack of sleep along with feeling completely disconnected from my body due to constantly rejecting myself, hating what I saw in the mirror & never really knowing who I was or what my passions were. At rock bottom, I was extremely depressed and chose to isolate myself, I didn't get out of bed at all for entire weekends, because I was ...exhausted and secondly because I hated how I looked. Cystic acne, absent periods, back & hip pain, fatigue, hot flushes. Despair. How did I get to that point? I hadn't listened to my body, all the little warning signs along the way ... The fatigue, the skin break outs, the constant coughs & colds, the eczema, the frequent digestive system upset.... I just continued to keep pushing myself, so much FOMO, worried about being left behind, desperately wanting to find love & be loved, never once honoring my body or stopping still long enough to ask it what it needed. Until it broke. Keeping on going when you are breaking isn't actually a sign of strength... It's self-abuse.

17.01.2022 Stage 3: Chronic: Adrenal Exhaustion AKA: Girl gone MIA DEFINITION: Hot Mess ... Low energy levels consistently throughout the day Depression or low mood Sleeping regularly and for long periods but never feels refreshed Commonly eat a lot of processed refined sugars and take away foods due to lack of energy but also have developed a lot of food intolerances, especially to gluten and dairy History of past viral infection as well as frequent infections ongoing Can be severely underweight or overweight but typically starting to store more body fat all over the body Lack of motivation and energy, feelings of hopelessness, sick of being sick and not feeling oneself More prone to constipation Underactive thyroid, high TSH levels, with thyroid antibodies starting to rise Hair loss, Skin rashes, Weak nails Food intolerances, daily bloating Loss of appetite, regular nausea Very irregular periods, often with absence of a period for extended periods of time No Dream recall Cortisol deficiency, adrenals unable to produce adequate amounts Tired, sore aching, weak muscles Full body fluid retention, especially legs, ankles & waistline At this stage, your body is going into forced shut down. For all those years of 'pushing on', keeping on going even though you were exhausted because of your 'responsibilities & over committing to extra activities, social engagements & looking out for others. At stage 3, you have no choice but to surrender & feel. Are you hearing this Stage 2 ladies?!?!?!

16.01.2022 Trying to 'Balance' your hormones is like trying to fill a leaky bucket with water. It doesn't work, you're not supposed to do it, your hormones DONT WANT TO BE BALANCED...they just want you to listen. Here's the thing...... Your hormones are chemical messengers, they are letting you know through their imbalance & associated symptoms that something is WRONG with your health. If we try and 'balance our hormones' by 'measuring' & testing them in your blood then using synthetic hormones, bio-identical hormones or herbs and nutrients to balance them.... YOU ARE TOTALLY MISSING THE POINT AS TO WHY THEY WERE IMBALANCED IN THE FIRST PLACE.... AND Doing yourself and your health a massive disservice. Imbalanced hormones are caused by DIS-EASE & DYS-FUNCTION in the body like: Colon congestion Liver stress Toxicity Inflammation Infections, viral, parasites Nutritional depletion Energy blocks Negative belief systems Leaky gut & Dysbiosis Stress If you try and 'balance' your hormones without addressing the above, you are gonna get REALLY chronically sick because you are ignoring the hormonal warning signals!!!!! Mic drop

14.01.2022 Alongside Endometriosis, Poly cystic ovarian syndrome is one of the fastest growing female reproductive disorders... Here's why... Our environment is so overloaded with toxic exogenous xeno-oestrogens, synthetic hormones and endocrine disruptors which are making their way into female (and male) bodies through gestation, birth control pills, our water supply, cosmetics, consumption of animal products & industrial chemicals.... There is an increase in the genetic expression & hereditary passing on of the MTHFR gene mutation which is preventing our bodies from effectively metabolising & clearing out this excess oestrogen Our gut micrombiome is worse than ever due to the overuse of anti-bacterial products, antibiotics and vaccines which is preventing our guts from keeping our hormones in check Our livers are sluggish from diets high in processed foods, environmental chemicals, alcohol, pharmaceutical drugs & don't have the ability to regulate blood sugar levels effectively which drives insulin resistance We're nutritionally depleted & therefore lacking the nutritent cofactors required for enzymatic processes which keep androgens and testosterone specifically down in a female body Inflammation from toxic lifestyle choices perpetuates the cycle, driving metabolic syndrome, which affects our ability to maintain body weight & prevents our body from healing itself Stress & our fast paced lifestyle mean we are producing far to much cortisol which imbalances hormones, suppresses the immune system & interferes with effective fat metabolism But here's the good news, every single element of PCOS is reversible & you can absolutely overcome this condition. Reach out if you would like an individual assessment & a clear plan of attack to follow to get your health, weight & fertility back on track

13.01.2022 Understanding the difference between Oestrogen Dominance & Progesterone Deficiency and how getting it wrong can be deadly.

13.01.2022 When you hit adrenal fatigue....no drug is going to dig yourself out of the ground you have run yourself into And while I'm at it, this goes for all hormones, not just your adrenal hormones, it's your oestrogen, progesterone, insulin testosterone & every other hormone in your body. Because here's the thing...a hormonal imbalance ISN'T a disease.....yet.... When you are struggling with a hormonal related condition like adrenal fatigue, PMS, thyroid problems, period pain or so forth, your hormones became out of balance for a REASON... To let you know that something in your body isn't working properly & it needs your immediate attention. The issues causing the hormonal imbalance are generally always associated with the following things... Stress Congestion through the colon An underlying infection Sluggish liver detoxification Toxicity Leaky Gut Imbalanced Gut microflora Depletion through the digestive system Nutritional depletion Inflammation Emotional trauma Over working/Over training Sleep deprivation Taking a DRUG will at best mask the symptoms for a little while, but all these factors will persist if not addressed and then chronic disease really kicks in, not just at a surface level, im talking organ issues. STOP IGNORING YOUR BODY & start taking a proactive approach to understanding the messages your body is trying to give you through symptoms & healing Sure drugs have their place (on pretty rare occasions in my opinion) but the reality is, if you try and mask a hormonal conditions with drugs & synthetic hormones you are going to fuck up your body in the long run. Think, Cancers, Alzhimers disease, Dementia, Renal failure & Heart disease etc, the super serious stuff that robs you of your quality of life and actually kills you.

12.01.2022 Let's not forget about Progesterone. I feel like oestrogen dominance is always in the spotlight, I personally am always banging on about the dangers of synthetic oestrogens building up in your body, but let's not forget about synthetic progesterones too. Things like the mireena & the Depo shot which are predominantly synthetic forms of progesterone are becoming more and more prevalent choices for women for contraception, but more dangerously, being used to treat conditions su...ch as heavy bleeding and Endometriosis. Treating hormone imbalances with synthetic hormones or even 'natural products' to directly manipulate your hormone levels is ALWAYS going to be a bad idea as it makes us vulnerable to the 'straw that broke the camels back' scenario and sets you up for a lifetime of juggling prescriptions & reliance on an external 'medicine' to allow you to function. As you'll see in the image above there's a fine line between excess & deficiency & treating hormones without first addressing the reason WHY your hormones are imbalanced in the first place will only lead to a reoccurrence down the track or worse, permanent damage to your organs & irreversible hyperstimulation or complete shut down of hormone producing glands & reproductive functions, like your fertility. It all comes down to knowing your body, being aware of any of the above symptoms occurring in your body & a willingness to listen and address the issue holistically.

12.01.2022 You can't tell me diet & lifestyle doesn't make a difference to your condition.... If you have Endo or PCOS or a thyroid problem or any other auto-immune or hormone related condition & you think the drugs from your GP or specialist are the only thing that are going to help you....WELL, you are missing a major piece of the puzzle Girl on the left (me in 2012) ... Meat eater Gluten in diet Drank Alcohol 5 days a week Exercised excessively 10 sessions a week Drank fluoridated water Ate 3-4 blocks of chocolate a week to self-soothe Took up to 6 'natural' but synthetic vitamin pills a day which did nothing Yo-yo'd on & off every diet under the sun Believed she was fat, ugly Desperately wanted to be loved & accepted Afraid to share her knowledge in Naturopathy Zero self-belief Girl on Right (me 2020) Plant based diet minus some cheese 99% gluten free Drinks alcohol 2 days a week Daily Enemas Drinks ionized water only Eat 1/2 block a week Daily cold pressed juice Functional food supplements only Colon cleanses 3-4 times a year Following her purpose & speaking her truth Needs no ones approval Still gets wobbly sometimes but has learnt how to pick herself back up A lifestyle overhaul can absolutely feel overwhelming, i get it completely. When we are at a point in our life where we feel awful, hate the way we look & are completely disconnected from our passions & purpose, EVERYTHING FEELS HARD & it feels as if our guilty indulgences are the only way to get a temporary high. I was once that girl, I understand you. But there is a spark inside you that still burns, that is waiting to be ignited, you just need to find the right inspiration, support system, mentor & motivation to kick start your journey. 1 step at a time...no transformation ever occurs over night, but you are too beautiful to keep hiding behind your shame, self-loathing & disbelief, all it takes is one little leap of faith & someone to hold your hand

11.01.2022 Your body is ALWAYS communicating with you....& here's what it is trying to tell you when you experience PMS... Firstly....PMS is a blessing in disguise & can actually help change your life in the most amazing ways....IF you are actually willing to tune in & listen to what your 'imbalanced hormones' are communicating... As I will continue to reiterate...... HEALTH is always influenced by physical, emotional & spiritual elements so it's important to look, listen & feel in order to answer your bodies cry for help... PHYSICALLY You are not metabolising your progesterone properly or you may not even be producing enough Stress & cortisol levels are an issue You're probably deficient in Mg, B6, Zinc, Iron & Chromium You have a build up of environmental xeno-oestrogens Your liver isn't doing a very good job of recycling your oestrogens (you need a cleanse) Serotonin production is compromised You're balance of omega 3:6 oils is out of whack EMOTIONALLY Although there are various forms of PMS, typically speaking a premenstrual woman is emotionally unstable & easily triggered because she has been spreading her energy too thin, depleting her own resources, making her feel incredibly shakey & vulnerable to sudden change. Anger outbursts followed by inconsolable tears. When our foundation is wobbley we don't have the emotional resilience to keep it all together when unexpected situations arise. SPIRITUALLY A woman who feels like she's on an emotional roller coaster in the lead up to her bleed, has probably been biting her tongue, not speaking up, not asking for what she needs, not priorirorizing her own self care & then when the PMS window rolls around she explodes due to all the suppressed feelings & needs in the month prior. Therefore the 'triggers' which set you off in this stage of your cycle, provide clues as to where you are not meeting your needs & what must change in your life in order for you to feel worthy, validated & acknowledged. Remember projection & blame get us nowhere...triggers are a gift if we can own them & explore the deeper meaning that someone else has brought to the surface. Use your PMS as a guide to change your direction in life, even if this is just skight pivots in your perception

11.01.2022 It sounds good in theory right.....but how many of you, after a momentary fist pump reverted back too....I could never do that, there's so much to do around the house, what will they think of me.... Our beliefs & the standards & pressures we put on ourselves, fueled by needing approval and validation from others in order to feel worthy or loved is one of the major reasons why YOU HAVE ADRENAL FATIGUE. Let that sink in for a minute.... How would your life look if you really stopped giving a fuck what everyone else thought of you & just started enjoying every moment & celebrating YOU in your perfectly imperfect state?

07.01.2022 Where's all my girls at?

06.01.2022 Is your body good at burning fat? Like can it actually get the job done? Or do you feel like you eat well & exercise but nothing seems to shift the extra weight Utilising fat as an energy source compared to glucose is actually a more involved process which requires more resources from your cells and organs in order to get the job done. So the reality is, if your body is under nourished, your liver overworked and struggling to keep up with it's workload your body will pro...bably opt for glucose as it's preferred fuel source, whacking the fat cells into storage instead. On top of this, if you are tired & your adrenals are fatigued, you certainly won't have the resources to burn fat efficiently. The health of your adrenals and the subsequent levels of cortisol play a pivitol role in determining whether or not you will burn fat, so first things first... ADDRESS YOUR ADRENALS Check out the free adrenal assessment on the website https://balancedbabes.com.au/addressing-the-adrenals/ And find out where your adrenals are at! Once you get your adrenals out of a state if 'stress' your body can relax, slow down & start repairing itself and utilising fat as energy once again

06.01.2022 The difference between recovering from adrenal fatigue or staying tired & unwell..... Is being willing to do something about it Vs choosing to stay the martyr. HARSH....but fair.... Are your beliefs affecting your health? Are your daily choices destroying your soul Who are you living for.....them or you?

04.01.2022 Here's what Stage 1 - Acute: Adrenal Activation looks like on a day to day basis... Generally good energy levels Heightened awareness of heartbeat with some anxiety ... Minimal sleep disturbance, but some difficulty falling asleep due to a ‘busy mind’ Over-reliant on coffee, energy drinks, sugar, alcohol or other stimulants to get you through the day Rarely get colds or sick in general (too busy for that shit) Typically healthy weight range, although tendency to store excess fat around tummy Constantly on the go, overactive mind, high achiever, rarely sits still, needs to feel productive Prone to loose bowel motions, especially when stressed or anxious or drinking coffee TSH levels within the classic reference range of 0.5- 5 Tendency to internal feeling of shakiness, butterflies in the tummy Unstable blood sugar levels.Typically, can’t go too many hours without eating without feeling Irritable, headachy or shaky May experience shorter menstrual cycles due to low progesterone levels. May experience spotting throughout the month Can wake with vivid dreams or nightmares Elevated cortisol levels Twitching and occasional muscle cramps Fluid retention around monthly cycle And if you thought that was bad...stay tuned for stage 2

04.01.2022 WARNING OFFENSIVE...The 'Adrenal Attitude' based on the 3 stages of Adrenal exhaustion.... Stage 1 - Acute: Adrenal Activation "Girl on FIRE" ... Our stage 1 babe is looking for a quick fix, a simple convenient tablet or more like an assortment of supplements that she can smash each day in order to allow her to power on and be as productive as possible. After all, being 'busy' is what she measures her self-worth on. And don't even bother trying to tell her to reduce her coffee/wine/sugar, exercise or to stop dieting, those things are her lifeline & she ain't giving them up. She believes she's invincible & nothing will slow her down. Being 'busy' is her identity. Sorry, not sorry. Stage 1 AKA: "Girl you don't even know" Stage 2 - Adrenal Dysfunction: Semi Acute / Semi Chronic "Walking Disaster " This babe is running on empty, physically & emotionally & shes becoming a bit if a narky bitch, (children, husband & dick head drivers cope it mostly). She would secretly love to tell everyone to get fucked, but she's so attached to her 'responsibilities' & duties as a mum & all the shit she's volunteered for over the years because she believes thats the only way she will be loved & appreciated. Pleasing others is her priority & its wearing her thin. Stage 2 AKA: "Girl sort your shit out, it's about to get real" Stage 3: Chronic: Adrenal Exhaustion "Hot Mess" This babe is checked out & disconnected from joy & most of her relationships. Single fucks given interspersed with emotional break downs. "Its not fair, I'm so exhausted, I've tried everything & nothing works" At this stage of dysfunction girl has entered the 'poor me' victim mentality & just wants someone else to fix her because sadly she's too exhausted and emotionally disconnected from herself that she wouldn't even know where to start. She pretty much hates herself & life. Stage 3 AKA: Girl gone MIA Did this post trigger you? Can you identify with any of these thoughts & feelings? Recovering from Adrenal dysfunction or PREVENTING yourself from progressing into the next stage of adrenal dysfunction has to be a conscious choice to want to make changes before it's too late...

03.01.2022 Can you thrive with Endometriosis, PCOS or any other chronic female reproductive disorder? Who do you want to be? Just like everyone else? Like how 'they' say it's going to end up for you? ... Endometriosis & Poly cystic ovarian syndrome CAN BE OVERCOME. You just have to choose to be someone who overcomes it... Yea it's not easy. It takes strength, commitment, loads of support and a willingness to look outside the box. Courage to question EVERYTHING! Belief in something bigger & more powerful than yourself to heal your physical body A willingness to understand that the body is so much more than just the physical and address emotional & spiritual elements of health as well AND you need a really BIG WHY... How do you want to live your life? How do you want to feel everyday? Who are the amazing people you want surrounding you in your life? What incredible things do you want to tick off your bucket list? Create your own REALITY, if not you, then who is going to do it for you?

02.01.2022 If you want to take back control of your adrenal health, the most important thing you can do is control that inner fire that's stressing the crap out of your body! Inflammation = stress = adrenal dysfunction Inflammation occurs when something is stressing or damaging our tissues & although it's the body's innate emergency response to infection, injury and tissue damage, inflammation left unchecked can cause serious health implications & organ damage.... So naturally, our adrenal system is on the ball & detects 'inflammation' when it's occurring & goes about best supporting this process, so if you're battling with chronic inflammation or making daily lifestyle choices which irritate & inflame your body, there's no hope in hell your adrenal function will be restored. Check yourself before you wreck yourself! Common inflammatory agents Refined sugar Alcohol Coffee Red meat Processed gluten containing grains Chemical based beauty regimes Emotional stress Lack of sleep Trans fatty acids Artificial sweeteners Endocrine disruptors Household chemicals Over training with inadequate recovery Acidic diets high in protein Antibiotic use Remove or limit as many of these things as possible & implement as many anti-inflammatory activities as you can Cold pressed juice Turmeric & anti-inflammatory supplements Gentle exercise Sunshine + fresh air Rest, relaxation & sleep Ionized water Alkaline diet Bioenergetic frequency therapy Meditation Warm hugs & herbal tea Happiness, joy & feel good vibes Addressing the adrenals is an all round holistic approach, you gotta hit it from all angles

01.01.2022 How bloody (literally ) annoying is it, when you think your period should be over, you've bled solidly for 4-5 days but then it continues on with this watery, brown spotting for another few days. Infact some women report this for up to 10 days!!! When your period drags on for longer than 5 days, its a sign of 2 things... OESTROGEN DOMINANCE - especially if your bleed is heavy for more than 5 days or you get your period really frequently or you get random break through bleeding through out your cycle. POOR UTERINE TONE - this is most specifically indicated for the super light spotting that drags on for days and days. Brown blood, which almost looks and can sometimes smell 'rusty' or old & stale is, old unoxygenated blood which has caused the discoloration. This is a sign that circulation and blood flow to the uterus is poor and the uterus is lacking tone! The SOLUTION... Herbs such as Raspberry leaf tea, Red clover & Nettle all improve circulation & nourishment to the uterus and help prevent that annoying spotting. These are great taken as a tea and drunk twice daily. The other winner is keeping your pelvic floor muscles (uterus, bladder and bowel muscles) strong, which keeps everything all tight & tidy up in there & supports healthy blood flow to your womb. Squeezing your 'vagina' muscles & especially pulling that special face while doing so (you are doing it right now arnt you?) Is another supportive way of managing a healthy happy period. So while you are sipping on your raspberry leaf tea be sure to squeeze that downstairs area 10-15 times a day & you'll have a 'fit & toned' uterus in no time
