I had an Instagram story on how methylsulfonylmethane can help with , but the font was too small, so here it is again.🙂

🔟 Reasons MSM Can Help with Loose Skin;
1. Boosts Collagen Production
• MSM supplies sulfur, which is a structural component of collagen and keratin.
2. Improves Elastin Integrity
• Elastin gives skin its ability to snap back. Sulfur from MSM is needed for elastin synthesis and may help prevent sagging.
3. Strengthens Keratin in Skin & Hair
• MSM is sometimes called the “beauty mineral” because it improves the sulfur bonds in keratin, contributing to stronger skin, hair, and nails.
4. Reduces Inflammation that Breaks Down Collagen
• Chronic low-grade inflammation increases MMPs (enzymes that degrade collagen). MSM has documented anti-inflammatory properties, which protect collagen from breakdown.
5. Enhances Skin Hydration
• Clinical studies have shown MSM supplementation improves skin hydration and smoothness, making loose skin look more plump and firm.
6. Supports Detoxification Pathways
• Sulfur compounds are critical in Phase II liver detox. Better detox support helps clear toxins that can otherwise impair skin repair and regeneration.
7. Protects Against Oxidative Stress
• MSM raises glutathione levels, a key antioxidant that shields collagen and elastin from free radical damage.
8. Improves Wound Healing & Repair
• Sulfur is vital for tissue repair. MSM supports faster healing of microtears in skin, which can promote remodeling and tightening over time.
9. Synergizes with Vitamin C
• When taken with vitamin C, MSM enhances collagen production more effectively, as vitamin C is needed for collagen hydroxylation while MSM supplies sulfur.
10. May Reduce Wrinkles & Improve Skin Texture
• Human trials have shown MSM supplementation reduces wrinkles, roughness, and improves firmness - all very important. 😉

𝘿𝙄𝘿 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙆𝙉𝙊𝙒... PCOS isn’t just one condition, it’s a mix of symptoms, usually involving higher male hormones (androgens) and problems with regular ovulation. In simple terms, PCOS means your body is making too many androgens, and doctors have ruled out other possible reasons why.

Think of PCOS as an umbrella ☂️ term. The symptoms may look similar, but the root cause can be different for each woman.

That’s why we often talk about the four main “types” of PCOS:
👉🏻 Insulin-resistant PCOS (linked to blood sugar and insulin issues)
👉🏻 Post-pill PCOS (temporary changes after stopping the pill)
👉🏻 Inflammatory PCOS (driven by chronic inflammation)
👉🏻 Adrenal PCOS (where stress hormones play a bigger role)

Each type of PCOS also needs a different treatment approach. This is something I cover in my new upcoming PCOS mini guide. Watch out for its release. 🤗

𝙼𝚎𝚝𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚕𝚒𝚜𝚖, 𝚆𝚎𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝙻𝚘𝚜𝚜 & 𝙿𝙲𝙾𝚂. 🔥
Not every woman has PCOS as a factor in her weight loss struggles BUT the below ⬇️ information is important for every woman to know!
𝙵𝚒𝚛𝚜𝚝 - Metabolism and metabolic health are affected by many factors, including hormones, mitochondria, inflammation, and the gut microbiome. A healthy metabolism can make it easier to lose weight.

There is a strong hormonal component to abdominal weight gain - in most people, that hormone is insulin.
Insulin resistance which is also called hyperinsulinemia, pre-diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. Affects at least 1 in 2 people over 40. From a women’s health perspective, insulin resistance can play a major role in PCOS, as well as the weight gain of perimenopause. It can make periods heavier, increase risk of heart disease, dementia, osteoporosis, and cancer. Clearly it’s an important topic.

In the average woman insulin resistance can be influenced by many things including age, but in a PCOS situation it is often a driving factor of the condition itself. Amplifying androgen excess, disrupting ovulation, and making symptoms more persistent unless directly addressed. And making weight loss seem almost hopeless. 😩

But the good news is that it’s reversible! As insulin sensitivity improves and comes down, metabolic function is restored, and weight loss becomes possible 🙌🏻.
In general, it’s probably not possible to lose much abdominal fat, until fasting insulin comes below 8 mIU/L, which can take several months, but… the thing to understand is that you could be achieving significant metabolic improvement for weeks or even months before you notice significant weight loss. So 𝙳𝙾𝙽𝚃 𝙶𝙸𝚅𝙴 𝚄𝙿!
Try to not get discouraged if you don’t lose weight right away. As long as your insulin is coming down, you are definitely making progress! 🥳

5 𝚆𝚊𝚢𝚜 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝙲𝚊𝚗 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝙸𝚖𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙸𝚗𝚜𝚞𝚕𝚒𝚗 𝚁𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎;
1) prioritize protein
2) limit junk food
3) limit alcohol
4) aim to walk 10,000-14,000 steps a day
5) Optimize micronutrients 👉🏻 Magnesium, chromium, and inositol have been shown to improve insulin signaling in women with PCOS.

Susan and Ian’s journey is truly special. I believe God brought these two beautiful souls into my life, not only so I could help their health, but also so we could build a friendship filled with laughter. Here’s a glimpse into their experience so far;

“I heard another client refer to Chemaine Linnie as an Irish fairy and I couldn’t agree more. She is one of the most intelligent and REAL people I have the pleasure of knowing and working with. I continue to be in awe of Chemaine; she does the research, trials things before she will endorse, and is the hardest worker in the gym every damn day.
Fitness has always been a large part of my life, I’ve seen Chemaine at the gym for years, always in awe of her dedication. It wasn’t until fall 2024 when I felt like my world was falling apart; divine intervention brought me back to Chemaine. I was working hard and doing all the right things, or so I thought, but nothing seemed to push the scale lower or shift my progress further, in fact it was the opposite.
I have a history with hypothyroidism and rheumatoid arthritis, then add in perimenopause symptoms; I was a mess. So I was looking for someone with experience in these areas. Like so many people, I’ve tried so many diets, gimmicks, spent endless hours in the gym, starved or limited myself with food, with limited success. Meeting Chemaine was like winning the lottery! I started with a consultation, and was blown away by the information shared. Chemaine listened to my symptoms, goals, and history. She was able to optimize supplements, nutrition, and hormones for me AND my family. I started her 12-week program, and in two months, we were both down 20lbs!!! Something that we have worked so hard for, but always out of reach. We continue to work with Chemaine and have success and growth. We both feel the best we ever have; inflammation is down, gut issues gone, sleep and life is just so much better.🫶🏻”

You can make a real difference in a short amount of time if you’re willing to do the work like Susan and Ian. My fall schedule is now open - drop me a message if you feel now is your time! ☺️

𝙎𝙏𝙐𝘿𝙔 𝙎𝙋𝙊𝙏𝙇𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏 💡
“Menstrual Cramps Can Be Worse In Normal-Length Cycles Without Ovulation”.

A 2024 study out of The University of British Columbia shows that menstrual cramps, unexpectedly, were more painful and lasted for more days in cycles where ovulation had NOT occurred (anovulatory cycle).
Up until this study, the understanding was that menstrual cramps only happen in cycles in which an egg is released, or an ovulatory cycle. But this research is challenging this maybe outdated idea.
The findings, published in the Journal of Pain Research, reveal that some women not only experience cramps when no egg is released, but that cramps can be more severe and last longer during these anovulatory cycles. Potentially due to a lack of progesterone production. 🧐

Also this study was conducted during the pandemic - where stress levels were higher and because of this, ovulation was more likely to be interrupted.

It makes sense that if a woman does not ovulate she would experience more pain during pms and in the first few days of her bleed. Progesterone has natural anti-inflammatory and calming effects on the nervous system, helping to reduce sensitivity to pain. It also modulates GABA receptors in the brain, which promotes relaxation and lowers pain perception. 😌

In this powerful and fantastic conversation, I sit down with , integrative oncologist and author of The Cancer Revolution, to explore the root causes of cancer and how to create an anti-cancer environment in your body.
We start with Dr. Connealy’s personal story with how her mother’s exposure to a toxic hormonal birth control during pregnancy affected her hormones, fertility, and health as a teenager and adult. From there, we dive into:
• How toxic hormonal birth control can interfere with fertility and hormone balance
• The impact of generational trauma and stress on present-day health
• The Warburg Theory and how that influences cancer cells
• Why your body pH matters for cancer consideration and prevention
• The role of estrogen in cancer development and why progesterone can be so beneficial
• How your thyroid and metabolic health influence cancer risk
• Does sugar fuel cancer
• Real-life case studies from Dr. Connealy’s clinic
• Practical steps to create an anti-cancer lifestyle
And lots more! 😍
If you’ve been searching for answers on hormones, cancer prevention, stress, and nutrition, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. We hope you thoroughly enjoy this conversation.

10 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝑰 (𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒚) 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒐 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝑴𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒎 𝑫𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒚! 🗓️
Ever since losing 165lbs I’ve become more and more aware of the need to support my metabolism. It is especially important after measurable amounts of weight have been lost - for several reasons but muscle loss, and changes in fat cell size and stability are a few. Then add in aging and hormone changes.😖

Because of all that 👆🏻I am proactive about improving and supporting my metabolism every day. The images list 10 things I do. Along with those I make sure to laugh, sing and have fun as much as possible to keep those stress hormones low. I read and learn every day because the brains energy requirement is 20-30% of your metabolism. 🧠

I also do a lot of mindset and mental health work. Because the majority of the game is about having the correct mindset‼️

And yes having a good metabolism helps me burn fat easier. So then you could say, fat loss is not about eating less and exercising more, it’s about having a solid plan that keeps your metabolism healthy and strong. A good metabolism = easier weight management. 🔥

These things are not extras in my life either, they are my life. They are choices I choose to make daily. And these choices allow me to be a happier healthier version of me, capable of living my best most enjoyable life.

At the end of the day friends, it’s all a choice. You do not need another diet, you just need to make the right choices.💚

𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐚 & 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 🍒
A client yesterday mentioned she had 2 new red spots that look like “blood spots” on her arm and asked me what they are.
These are what’s known as “cherry angioma” and are very common, and generally harmless.

are benign blood vessel tumours that look like bright red moles. Sometimes elevated lumps and sometimes not. The collection of small blood vessels inside a cherry angioma give them a reddish blood like appearance.

They can occur in anyone, at any age but can be more apparent as we age - with many women noticing an increase in perimenopause.

👉🏻 Low or fluctuating progesterone can create estrogen dominance, which is associated with increased skin changes - like spider veins, skin tags, and possibly cherry angiomas - due to its vascular effects.
👉🏻 As estrogen clearance slows (due to liver damage, methylation issues, etc.), estrogen metabolites can affect skin and vascular tone. A sluggish liver can also contribute to a toxic load that shows up in the skin, promoting angiomas.
👉🏻 Midlife hormonal shifts often bring insulin resistance. Insulin is a growth-promoting hormone and is tied to angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), which may promote cherry angioma growth in predisposed individuals.

This type of skin growth is typically not a cause for concern unless it bleeds, or changes in size, shape, or colour. Or the area becomes hard, tender or painful. Talk to your doctor if you notice any bleeding or changes in your skin - cherry angioma or not.

Otherwise no need to stress too much - just stay on top of your health and especially hormone health. 🙂

𝑾𝑯𝒀 𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 1 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒔? 🧐
There’s a lot of questions around what is the best type of exercise for fat loss? 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓, walking regularly is best for reducing body fat and improving health.

𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒚;
✎ low barrier of entry. You just need a comfortable pair of walking shoes and legs 🦵 that work!
✎ you can walk anywhere at anytime.
✎ walking is a generally safe low impact exercise.
✎ does not spike the stress hormones. Walking has actually been shown to reduce cortisol, adrenaline and ACTH; https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01720-6
✎ improves blood sugar regulation and insulin resistance!
✎ directly decreases visceral fat, which is our most dangerous type of fat; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21951360/
✎ walking improves bile flow, thus helping with gallbladder and liver function, thus improving metabolism; https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/002191507990008X
✎ walking has a lower impact on hunger signals then running or other high impact exercises.
✎ walking helps reduce inflammation which in turn helps to support thyroid function and metabolism.
✎ walking improves pain and mobility.
✎ walking improves circulation and movement of the lymphatic system, thus aiding in detoxification of toxic substances that could be slowing your metabolism and fat burning efforts. 😒
✎ reduces our risk of heart disease and varicose veins - it improves our whole cardiovascular system including blood pressure.
✎ helps build strong bones, tissues and cells by sending signals to the body to build new bones and cells.
✎ helps build strong bones, tissues and cells by sending signals to the body to build new bones and cells.
✎ Early morning walks in the sunshine have been shown to improve sleep quality (which is very important for our immune and cell functioning). Sunshine also helps control our internal clock ⏰ which influences our hormones and metabolic processes.
✎ Lastly, walking has been shown to have immense benefits for mental health! And if you don’t have your mental health…how can you expect to stay on your health plan?💭
