🌿 Have a quick chat with me at the counter
🌿 I’ll devise a plan for you and recommend products
🌿 You pay for the products
🩷 Benefits:

Is it just me, or is the "mental load" suddenly feeling like a physical weight? 🫠
If you’re currently sandwiched between raising teenagers and caring for aging parents, all while your own hormones decide to stage a coup, this one is for you.
Lately, I’ve been talking to so many women who feel like they are "losing their mind." They’re snapping at the kids, losing sleep, and feeling "touched out" by 9:00 AM.
The truth? You aren't crazy. You’re navigating a biological and situational perfect storm. 🌪️
In my latest blog, I’m breaking down the "Cortisol vs. Progesterone" battle and why your body is literally stealing your "calm" just to keep you upright.
Here's the link, happy reading 🩷 www.simplyhealing.net.au/blog/stressed-mum-or-perimenopausal

You cannot pour from an empty cup!
Especially if that cup is filled with irregular meals and afternoon sugar crashes.
The "motherhood load" is heavy enough without your biology working against you. When your blood sugar is unstable, your body interprets the afternoon as a "crisis," pumping out stress hormones when you need to be at your calmest.
Metabolic Balance is the ultimate "Oxygen Mask" strategy. It gives you the stamina to show up for your family, not by "trying harder," but by fuelling your nervous system properly. Read my latest blog to see why metabolic stability is the secret to a calmer evening routine. Link in bio!

I think I am just showing my age😂. In all seriousness eating on the run is NOT doing our digestive system any favours which means we arent gettijng the nutrients we need from our food.
Find a nice place to sit down and eat- no phones, no screens just good company even if it's just your own!

IS THE "WITCHING HOUR" ACTUALLY A METABOLIC CRASH?
We all know the time: 5:00 PM. The kids are cranky, the house is chaotic, and your patience is wearing thin. We call it the "witching hour," but have you ever considered that it might be metabolic exhaustion?
If you’re running on crusts, leftover school lunch, and caffeine, your blood sugar is on a rollercoaster. By the time 5:00 PM hits, your brain is starved of fuel, your cortisol is spiked, and you simply don’t have the biological resources left to stay calm.
You aren’t failing at motherhood. Your body is just screaming for better fuel.
In my latest blog, I’m talking about "The Motherhood Load" and why prioritizing your metabolism is the ultimate form of self-love (and the best way to keep your cool).

I am always after lentil recipes! This one looks especially yummy! Such a great way to add fibre and ALSO a perimenopausal superfood😉

Bloating is a really common issue and often a red flag that your digestive capacity is struggling. There are 3 big things that will decrease digestive capacity- age, stress and hormonal changes ie perimenopause.
A super simple way to improve your digestive capacity is to sit down to eat and before you take that first bite just breathe! Allow your nervous system some grace before asking it to switch gears.
In a heightened nervous system state our body diverts energy to immediate survival. But in rest and digest aka parasympathetic nervous system it focuses on digesting our food.
Stop eating on the run. Sit down, put the screens down, take a few breaths and enjoy that meal knowing you will get more nutrition out of it because you are digesting better. Your nervous system will thank you!
