Second quarterfinal workout (sped up obviously 🤣).

Very happy getting 2 rounds (inc 20 muscle ups) considering I only got my first muscle up about a month ago and haven’t done GHD’s since pre 2 kids! 🤣

Hamstrings are fried after the first workout with walking lunges and handstand push-ups 😩 tomorrow will be interesting but bring it on! 💪

As you can tell, I’m very excited! Just in time for the open 💪

New study linking taking the pill during adolescence with depression in later life. 😢

How many of you took the pill when you were a teenager? I did! Scary. ✖️

It’s not only depression it can cause, but also long term hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies and more.

If you or anyone you know is taking or thinking of taking a hormonal contraceptive, please do your research. Don’t just trust it’s safe with no side effects (like I did!! I was young and naive!). 🤦🏼‍♀️

If you do suffer from any side effects when coming off the pill, there are steps we can take to help bring your body back to balance. ⚖️

I had no cycle for over 2 years after coming off the pill and was told I’d need fertility treatment. Now I have two beautiful kids who were conceived naturally, first time trying. 💕

Do your research and make an informed choice 👍🙏

How many young women do you know who are taking/have taken ‘THE PILL’?💊 — A groundbreaking study has just been published, highlighting a concerning link between the use of ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES during adolescence and an increased risk of DEPRESSION later in life. 😫Scarily, the findings suggest that the use of oral contraceptives during the teenage years, may continue to have an enduring effect on a woman’s risk for depression - even years after she has stopped using them!

The Pill is taken by more than 100 million women around the world and is especially popular amongst teenagers 🌍👨🏾‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️and is prescribed to them as a means to ‘treat’ everything from acne, menstrual cramps, to helping with ‘regulating’ the menstrual cycle or simply because they’re menstruating!

By design, the pill, the patch, the shot, the implant, the ring, and the hormonal IUD all disrupt the normal functioning of the endocrine system. ⚠️🚺 That is their job. In order to make a woman temporarily infertile, the artificial hormones need to disrupt the delicate balance of natural hormones produced by her body. ⚖️🚺 This is what prevents ovulation, causes changes in the uterine lining, and alters cervical mucus production.

The teenage years are an extremely sensitive time in the developmental trajectory, marked by rapid growth and changes in the body and brain. These changes can be impacted by the use of synthetic hormones such as estrogen and/or progestins, which are the hallmark ingredients in the majority of ‘the pill’ formulations which are often 10x stronger than our own endogenous hormones! The present study indicates that manipulating s*x hormones during the critical time that is adolescence, can influence later behaviour in a way that may be irreversible - and have very real, long-lasting consequences for mental health and dramatically increases the risk of depression in women.

While use of the pill may be very convenient, and we wholeheartedly support every woman’s reproductive rights, studies like this highlight the importance of further research and proper INFORMED CONSENT. Any woman, teenager or otherwise, should understand completely the risks and side effects that they are opened up to when deciding to take hormonal contraceptives.

You can read the full article by the link below. I would love to hear your thoughts on the study? Let’s start a conversation in the comments below.

Dieting app for 8 year olds....🤦🏼‍♀️😢

So many of my clients (adults) are trying to improve their unhealthy relationship with food which was caused by diets like this. Please don’t damage the next generation too! Kids shouldn’t be dieting! 😩

Restricting foods and calorie counting increases the risk of eating disorders and it normalises an obsession with food and weight.

A positive, healthy relationship with food and self leads to better mental health, overall health and means they actually listen to their body!! Instead of the media telling them what they should eat and how they should look. 😠

THIS IS SO UNHEALTHY!!! ❌

It scares me what the world will be like when Myla and Jaxson get older 😢

If you agree, please post and tag 🙏 praying they will get so many that they’ll have to take it down!

While there are many plusses to this lifestyle and diet for many, there are still risks.

Despite what a lot of media states about the research.

I’ve worked with a vegan doctor who owned a chain of vegan restaurants.

She had a large heart attack.

I checked some of her lab markers.

High homocysteine, high SAH, high ADMA.

These are high risk markers. I informed her she needed to supplement as her diet wasn’t enough.

She was very resistant.

To me, no diet or lifestyle is perfect anymore as our soils are depleted of nutrients and many of us work too hard.

I tried living as a vegetarian for a year. It didn’t work for me but I didn’t do it right.

With my MTHFR genetics, I needed to eat a TON of leafy green vegetables along with nuts and seeds and I didn’t.

I ate bread, crackers, cheese, fruit, beans, pasta, rice, tofu and some vegetables like tomatoes and avocados.

Many kid vegetarians eat this way, too. And adults.

Seriously consider learning how to balance a vegan or vegetarian diet using tools like Cronometer or Nutrient Optimiser by Marty Kendall

Then use supplements as needed.

Common deficiencies are typically Methylation related!

Choline is a massively important methyl donor which comes primarily from meat.

Use phosphatidylcholine as it’s even better than Choline for methylation.

Consider Optimal PC available in the liquid state. It tastes fantastic - like sunflower a bit as it’s derived from sunflower. Not soy.

Methylcobalamin is vitamin B12 and also found in meat products only.

Creatine uses up the bulk of your methylation resources as does phosphatidylcholine formation.

By supplementing with both, you’re really supporting your potential deficiencies.

Optimal Creatine provides creatine bound to magnesium for better absorption.

Both creatine and phosphatidylcholine are kid safe when used as suggested on the label.

Be sure to get Optimal PC in the liquid state as the Optimal PC capsules are in a gelatin capsule. Gelatin is animal-derived.

Both Optimal PC and Optimal Creatine are available at seekinghealth.com with Free Shipping

Don’t change your diet because someone on social media looks super healthy and happy, you don’t know what their health is really like (or what they’re really eating!!!)! 🤔
Vegan may work some people, but for others it can cause serious issues. You have to know what you’re doing and that you’re getting the right nutrients. It’s easy to become deficient.
If you’re unsure, seek help from a Nutritional Therapist!! 😊🥦🍳

It’s all a bit cooked.

Very good blog post by 🥚🥔🥦
She has a fab recipe book full of great nutrition info for kids, and lots of delicious recipes they’ll love! It’s called ‘The Good Stuff’. Definitely worth investing in 😊💕
