Mind blowing book I highly recommend everyone should read to improve the quality of life.

Whether you have breathing difficulties or not.

Isn't it amazing how much information the human civilization knew back then.

Perhaps it was because there were no major corporations hiding the truth that was often freely available. 🤔🤷🏼

Quick fixes are appealing — especially when you’re tired and frustrated.

But lasting metabolic and hormonal health doesn’t happen in a few weeks.

It comes from understanding your body, supporting it consistently, and making changes that evolve as you do.

Long-term care isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about being supported.

Many women I speak to believe their struggles with weight gain are a willpower problem, that they need to starve themselves, or commit to hectic exercise regimes.

In reality, after 35, a woman's body is at the very beginning of perimenopausal hormonal fluctuations which affects how her body responds differently to food, stress, and exercise.

That's why eating less and pushing harder often makes things worse, not better.

Understanding metabolism and hormonal shifts changes the conversation completely — from blame to clarity.

And that’s where real, sustainable change begins.

My Weekly challenge - will you try it, too?

Only speak and think positive things.

If you catch yourself saying or thinking anything negative, STOP!

Chemical messengers get fired up in your body - they respond to your thinking or saying negative (or positive) things.

They affect your health and become part of your physical body.

So make sure it's positive (not negative) things you think and say!

The technical term is: Psychoneuroimmunology.

You need:

- Glass jar
- Dried Calendula flowers
- Carrier Oil
- Scales

GLASS JAR:
Must be sterilised - can be a mason jar (The Reject Shop is good for this), old jam jar, jar with clip lid top.

- To sterilise: either put in oven on 100 C for 10 mins, OR Boil jar in saucepan for 10 mins.

DRIED CALENDULA FLOWERS:
Get them from:

Mudbrick Herb Cottage - one of THE best suppliers of herbs in Australia (no affiliation, they're just such excellent quality)

CARRIER OIL:
Get from New Directions

They stock everything you need for making skincare products.

METHOD:
1. Place sterilised jar on top of scales, hit "zero" to not include weight of jar

2. Fill jar with Calendula flowers - write the weight on a label

3. Pour some oil into measuring jug - write amount on label, then pour oil into the glass jar, covering the flowers

4. Seal jar with the lid and stick label on - include these details:

- Date
- Weight of dried Calendula flowers
- Amount of oil used

5. Put jar into a cupboard away from sunlight + heat for a min. of 4 weeks - the longer you leave it, the stronger it gets!

6. Shake the jar every few days

7. After a minimum of 4 weeks in the cupboard, open the jar and strain the mixture with muslin to filter out the Calendula flowers.

8. Discard Calendula flowers and pour the Calendula-infused oil into a sterilised bottle.

9. Label bottle with the date you first made the oil, + the date you strained it, as well as the strength (ratio) of the oil - see below:

Ratio (strength) of oil = Weight of Calendula flowers : amount of oil used.

Eg.: 20 grams of Calendula flowers to 300mL of oil = 1:15 Ratio

For a stronger oil, add more flowers to the oil you strained, and repeat entire process.

Put simply, 'the hedgehog effect' is how we burn fat whilst sleeping.

Here's the explanation:

--> Hedgehogs spend autumn eating mostly over-ripe fruit.

--> Instinctively, they know they need to 'carbo-load' for their long sleep in hibernation.

--> Over-ripe fruit has a high glycemic index, which ELEVATES INSULIN LEVELS.

--> High insulin levels metabolise the sugar in the blood and CAUSES INTENSE HUNGER.

--> Simultaneously, this high insulin level PREVENTS FAT BREAKDOWN and stimulates MORE FAT PRODUCTION.

--> Once hedgehogs are heavy and fat, they hibernate.

--> During this time, insulin levels drop and they are able to SPEND THE WHOLE WINTER BURNING FAT.
