🌡️🔥 Hot Flushes Aren’t Just Annoying!
They Can Be a Heart Health Clue🌡️🔥

Most women are told that hot flushes are simply an annoying part of perimenopause or menopause.

But did you know that frequent or severe hot flushes are linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease?

Big studies are finally catching up to what so many women feel in their bodies:

✨ The InterLACE study (over 500,000 women!) found that women with severe hot flushes and night sweats had about double the risk of non-fatal cardiovascular events like heart attack, angina or stroke.

✨ The long-running SWAN study showed that women with frequent hot flushes had a 51–77% higher risk of later cardiovascular events, even after accounting for things like blood pressure, weight and cholesterol.

This doesn’t mean hot flushes cause heart disease.
But it does mean they can be an important early warning sign that your cardiovascular system is under stress and that your hormones, nervous system and metabolic health may need support.

Why does this matter?
Because women are so often dismissed with “your blood tests are fine” when in reality their symptoms are telling a much deeper story.

When we support:
💛 Healthy estrogen balance
💛 Thyroid + adrenal function (and Cortisol)
💛 Blood sugar + inflammation
💛 Nervous system regulation
💛 Gut and liver (hello, bile flow!)

…hot flushes often improve and we reduce the downstream risks.

Your symptoms are not random.
They are information.
And they are worth listening to.

If you’re experiencing persistent or intense hot flushes, this is your sign to dig deeper, not just push through.

This might surprise you… 😎

Wearing sunglasses as a daily habit could be wrecking your hormones and your health (And I have been saying this for years)

Your retina isn’t just for vision.......it’s your methylation clock.

Morning light tells your brain to:
☀️ Make dopamine
☀️ Raise cortisol
☀️ Set your circadian rhythm
☀️ Schedule night time repair

When you block that light, you block those signals.
Add in blue light from devices at night and your hormones, mood, and sleep go haywire.

💡 Try this:
Get 5–10 minutes of early sunlight without sunglasses or screens ....
it’s one of the simplest ways to reset your hormones, energy, and sleep.
And watch the sunset....the best time of day.

It not a w**d!
I recommend dandelion root all the time

A surprising natural remedy is making waves in cancer research. Scientists have discovered that dandelion root extract can kill over 90 percent of colon cancer cells in less than 48 hours. This breakthrough points to the potential of plant-based compounds in fighting aggressive cancers.
Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, often requiring invasive treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. While modern medicine has made significant strides, side effects and resistance remain major challenges. The discovery of dandelion root’s effectiveness could offer a safer, complementary approach.
Laboratory studies showed that the extract triggers programmed cell death specifically in cancer cells while leaving healthy cells largely unaffected. Researchers noted that the active compounds in the root interfere with cancer cell metabolism, effectively stopping their growth and survival. The speed of action is particularly striking, with the majority of targeted cells destroyed in just two days.
This does not mean dandelion root alone can replace conventional treatment, but it highlights an exciting avenue for future therapy development. Scientists are exploring ways to harness the compounds in dandelion root to create more potent, targeted treatments, potentially improving outcomes while reducing side effects.
Beyond its medicinal potential, dandelion root is widely accessible and has been used for centuries in herbal medicine. Its cancer-fighting properties demonstrate how traditional knowledge and modern science can intersect to reveal powerful health benefits.
Researchers emphasize that further clinical studies are needed to confirm these effects in humans, but the findings provide hope and direction. For those battling colon cancer or exploring complementary therapies, dandelion root represents an intriguing and promising option in the fight against one of the world’s deadliest cancers.
