As the underlying intention of my work is to empower women, I feel a powerful sense of alignment as I celebrate my 30th birthday today on International Women’s Day 💃🏻

I’m feeling grateful for the wild ride of the last 30 years, excited to unravel what the next 30 will bring, but most importantly I’m feeling so joyful in the here and now 😌

And remember..

Simple but beautiful 🌼

Cycle syncing is a powerful tool that women can use to improve our physical, emotional & mental well-being 🧘🏻‍♀️

It is based on the fact that each phase of a woman’s menstrual cycle is associated with different hormonal changes that affect various aspects of our mind and body.

I’m sure you ladies have experienced some of the contrasting emotions and physical feelings..

- a rollercoaster of energy levels, one day a run feels easy, the next it’s like climbing a mountain
- days of feeling social-able and confident, followed by days you feel more introverted and going to a party is the last thing you want to think about
- days when it’s easy to eat nutritious food and days when cravings take a hold of your appetite
- focussed days followed by procrastination days
- and days anxious, irritable and moody days followed by happier, calmer & brighter days with more rationality.

By understanding the different phases of your cycle and how to sync your habits and routines with them, you can become more in tune with your body and improve your overall health 🌿

Thank you for this post endonutrition and thegurlhealth. It resonated greatly with me and I will be making a few of these swaps.

Are there any swaps you can make to help improve your day ?

It baffles me that we aren’t taught about the female menstrual cycle in greater detail in school 🤦🏻‍♀️

If we were, I think women would have a much better understanding of their biochemistry & much more respect for their bodies.

But fear not, I’m here to help a little.. 💁🏻‍♀️

Throughout our menstrual cycle, the quantities of 5 key hormones fluctuate (sometimes quite dramatically), which often results in various symptoms. In turn, this can greatly influence our health and vitality on a day to day basis.

These changes are categorised into 4 distinct phases which I have summarised for you in this post! 😇

Although these fluctuations are normal, the most important thing to remember is that THE WAY IN WHICH WE LIVE OUR LIVES - the food we put into our bodies, our personal environment and the type of lifestyle that we live, can also dramatically influence the quantities of these hormones in our bloodstream. So..

The healthier our lifestyle
The more stable our hormones
The less symptoms we experience
The healthier we feel
The happier we are 💫

Brighter days are coming 🥰

The Mental Health Foundation estimates that 1 in 6 people this week will experience a common mental health problem.

Today is Time To Talk Day - a day to raise awareness of the importance of opening up and having conversations about our mental health.

It isn’t always easy but it has the power to change our lives.

I’ve had my fair share of struggles with anxiety, fears and feelings of stress which I bottled up for many years.

When my mindset finally shifted and I began opening up to more friends, coaches and even strangers, it felt like a weight was lifting off my shoulders 🙌🏻

I soon realised how many people share similar problems and I no longer felt ashamed or judged.

Those conversations have been a HUGE part of my health journey 🙌🏻

Take some time today to talk openly with someone about mental health - you may need that conversation just as much as they do! 😌

Since January’s Hormone Series has been focussed on alcohol, it only makes sense to dedicate a post to the liver..

The liver is one of the main pathways of elimination in the body and is responsible for metabolising and removing excess hormones e.g. oestrogen and toxins including: pesticides, alcohol and chemicals in beauty products ❌

With it being such a key element in our elimination & detoxification processes, it’s essential to include foods within our diet that promote optimal liver function!

So here are the top foods to optimise your liver function and help you on your journey to healthy hormones ⚖️
