Ladies, hands up if you dread that time of month as your menstrual cycle approaches? 🤷‍♀️

Perhaps, it’s the wild roller-coaster of emotions you experience in the lead up to your bleed, 😁😭😩😒😡🫣the debilitating pain or the ultra-heavy flow. 🩸🩸🩸🩸Not to mention the stubborn weight that is super hard to shift (no matter what you do) 😳or the nausea 🤢and headaches 🤯 that you have become accustomed to. These can all be related to an imbalance with your oestrogen levels.

Having healthy levels of reproductive hormones throughout your life can make a massive difference to the ease of your menstrual cycle (minimal discomfort, a healthy flow), how quickly you fall pregnant and how easefully you transition from perimenopause to menopause.

👌When to test your reproductive hormones?

The best time to test your reproductive hormones is ideally between days 2-3 of your cycle.

If your wanting to see if you are ovulating and whether or not you have excess oestrogen relative to progesterone then testing your progesterone levels through a blood test either 7 days after you see fertile mucus (if you don’t have a regular cycle) or 7 days before your next bleed.

Tori will help guide and support you to bring your hormones back into harmony through complementary medicines including herbal medicine, Ayurvedic lifestyle advice, evidence based nutritional supplementation, dietary and lifestyle modifications, fertility education and support.

When you know something isn’t right….. 😩

Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling unheard or even dismissed? 🤔

Unfortunately, you are not alone and it is something I hear commonly. It can be frustrating, disappointing, confusing and a waste of time and energy.

Perhaps you have had an appointment where you were rushed, or made to feel like your symptoms were all in your head. Maybe your results were ‘normal’ and you were told that what you are experiencing is normal for your age.

“Its normal for a woman your age, a mum with kids, a woman who is stressed”

Or perhaps handed you a script for some pharmaceuticals, usually antidepressants or anti anxiety medication without truly finding out the root cause of your symptoms.

You know your body better than anyone, and while pharmaceuticals can be truly lifesaving. What you really need is to be heard, have a thorough investigation into your blood work – thyroid, hormones, inflammatory markers, nutritional deficiencies for someone to truly understand your health (diet, lifestyle, stress, sleep, energy and all of your symptoms collectively) to understand what’s driving your symptoms.

That’s why I love what I do – truly helping women understand their bodies, minds and spirits. Guiding women just like you to start healing and finding balance, flow and ease in life.

Sick of feeling tired, sluggish, irregular periods, thinning hair, acne or struggling to lose weight? It could be an undiagnosed ovarian, adrenal or thyroid condition.

PCOS is often driven by excess stress, high androgens, inflammation, insulin resistance and nutritional deficiencies.

✨Did you know that stress hormones can influence your s*x hormones? Excess cortisol can tell your body that it is not safe to reproduce. And the cholesterol building blocks to make good healthy female reproductive hormones are instead being used to product stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenalin.

✨Stress hormones that are elevated (think never ending emails, deadlines, too many commitments or even too much caffeine – often its our perception of stress it can be perceived rather than real) can cause you to gain belly fat. This is just one of the reasons that can contribute to anovulatory cycles (you might bleed but you’re not ovulating!).

✨Those excess androgens such as testosterone can drive acne, inflammation and make it difficult to lose weight.

🪻Do you want to know what is really the driver behind your symptoms? or

🌿Which superstar herbs consistently get good results with PCOS? or

✨Which foods you need to eat to address the sugar cravings, reduce acne and get your cycle back?

By healing and treating the underlying issues you can start to enjoy a more healthy and regular menstrual cycle.
