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. 🙂

This is real. Raw. And proof that you can rewrite your story if you put your mind to it. 💚

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?💭

🔔 do you walk daily?👇🏻

I heard Dr Jerilynn Prior Professor of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC. and founder of (Center for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research), say in a video that she wished there was a “Perimenopause Pamphlet” that she had received and could be given to other women so they understood what perimenopause is and how to navigate it better.

That comment spurred me to make a Perimenopause Pamphlet, actually two, to help my women – my clients, friends, followers and family – my community. You can access and download both versions FREE in my website under the education tab (version 2 has a bit more detail and direction) 🏷️ and I have also included a list of rules or must do’s to help make perimenopause easier in the article too.

is there a specific topic you would like me to create an article or video on in the future? Let me know when the comments. 👇🏻🙂

In this episode, I’m joined again by Dr. Justin Marchegiani Functional Medicine Practitioner , to dive deep into gut health issues like SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), FIBO (Fungal Overgrowth), and acid reflux. We discuss the root causes behind chronic bloating, gas, indigestion, and why many people struggle with stubborn digestive symptoms—even when eating “healthy.” Also my experience with SIBO over the last few months and the supplements and tools that helped me heal. We also share some anecdotes from some of our clients that have also dealt with these gut issues. Unfortunately something went haywire with the video - we are trying to rectify it. But the sound is perfect. 😉
👉 What you’ll learn in this conversation;
• What SIBO, FIBO, and acid reflux really are
• How does one get SIBO, FIBO and acid reflux
• Natural remedies, supplements and herbs we use to heal the gut
• Testing for SIBO
• Why acid-blocking medications might make things worse
• Natural ways to support stomach acid and digestion
• When to consider functional testing and targeted supplements
And lots more!

Many women have not heard of “metal donors” for many women suffer with Eastridge and dominance or Eastridge and access and issues metabolizing in detoxifying estrogen properly. Understanding methyl donors may be the missing link in your efforts to support and rebalance your hormones. Swipe right on the photos to understand what methyl donors are and for more contacts listen to my newest podcast episode here 👇🏻 this is a continuation of the last podcast episode“Eastridge detoxification”. So you might want to listen to that first if you haven’t already.
