*** HISTAMINE SERIES ***

An easy way to start establishing if histamine load is an issue for you is by removing high-histamine foods from your diet for a while.

But, low-histamine diets can be notoriously complex to understand and follow.

Think of histamine issues resembling an onion. Many layers.

The above 3-point plan is a simple starting point to removing the first layer. No complexity or overwhelm. See the slides. 🙂

Not sure what histamine is or what symptoms can be associated with it? Go back a few posts and read the prior posts in the Histamine Series.

January doesn’t need to feel darker and glumier than it already is (weather-wise!).

These simple tips WORK. They are not complicated, don’t add stress (who needs more of that?!), and allow for A LOT of fun and joy. They are also the ultimate form of self-love and self-respect - isn’t that what the holidays are all about, spreading joy, love, and care? Do make sure you are on the list too. 😉

Wishing you a restful, peaceful, and heart-filled end of the year. 💗

* Histamine Series *

Why does histamine overload happen? Find out in the slides. 🙂 Not sure what histamine is and what symptoms are associated with it? Go back and read the first post in the Histamine Series.

I’ve decided to do a series of posts to shine a bit more light on histamine based on questions I get and see, and the general confusion that seems to be around this “bad” substance!

It has a relationship with female hormones, and this is why many of us can feel the changes after 35 during perimenopause and menopause - more on this later in the series.

What exactly is histamine and why it’s not a “bad” thing that we need to always supress with antihistamines? Find out in the slides. 🙂

Throwback to Spring 2021 - jumping the lockdown reality away. As if! But 5-10 mins spent on the rebounder did bring joy and happiness at that moment, and did my body the world of good.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Bouncing on a rebounder is hands down one of my top 5 tools for lifting my energy and moving my body. It’s the quickest mood enhancer there is, alongside 💃 dancing, for me. I also get bored easily so long workouts are a no-go!
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
NASA research found rebounding has greater benefits than running for a similar effort.
At certain intensities, it was over twice as efficient as treadmill running. NASA even called it "The most efficient, effective form of exercise yet devised by man.".

Benefits:
✦ Boosts cardiovascular health and strengthens the heart
✦ Enhances balance, coordination, and posture while being gentle on joints
✦ Improves muscle strength, endurance, and tones the body
✦ Supports bone density and skeletal health, reducing age-related bone loss
✦ Stimulates lymphatic flow, aiding detoxification and immune function
✦ Increases metabolism, and may promote weight loss
✦ Improves mood, reduces stress, and boosts overall emotional well-being
✦ Aids digestion and supports healthy elimination
✦ Suitable for all fitness levels and ages due to its low-impact nature
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
AND, it is fun. I am known for saying to clients who are too busy - “You’re one song away from moving your body!”. I often do 3-4 songs and I am done. Even 5-10 mins is great. 15-20 mins is plenty of time! No excuses. 🤪
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
It’s a relatively low-stress way to move if you don’t overdo it in length and intensity, which can be perfect for hormone health and dysregulated nervous systems.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Who’s up for some bouncing? Have you tried it? Are you willing to try it?

The inspo for me from A.S.’s message:

🌸 We all have innate wisdom aka our internal GPS. Learning how to silence the outside world and start connecting and listening to it is a skill we all need to master if we want to be healthy and happy.

🌸 There is no one path to getting well. The foundations may be the same, but our journey to wellness, and the specific for us nuances, are not.

🌸 Hating our beautiful bodies and minds will never lead to anything good. Love, nourishment, nurturing & honouring our needs & desires will.

🌸 We all have blind spots. We don’t see what we can’t see. Our patterns and learnt behaviours serve a purpose - to keep us safe. But they are also limiting, and half the time we aren’t even aware of them. We need an outsider to shine a light on what we can’t see.

🌸 We can only get so far on our own - and we can get pretty far! Beyond that - we all need guidance and support.

🌸 We don’t know what we don’t know. The foundations of health may not be complex, but their successful application often is. There is a method to this wellness madness, and a right way to approach it and make changes. 

🌸 Hormones are complex. Whole-body wellness - i.e. a state, where you feel well, energised, motivated, and good in your own body - is multi-layered, multi-faceted, and very individual (beyond the the foundations).

Don’t beat yourself up if your good efforts haven’t produced the desired results until now. Especially if you’re unwell, please don’t expect to be able to navigate this level of complexity completely on your own - it is not possible. You most likely need support. 💗

Do you love the warm and cosy feel of candles as much as I do?

Unfortunately, candles can also lead to exposure to harmful chemicals, and poor indoor air quality. Don’t shoot the messenger, lol.

✖ Scented candles release a cocktail of chemicals, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), and particulate matter - all of which can be harmful to our health. 

✖ Inhaling VOCs is linked to irritation in the eyes, nose, and throat; shortness of breath, headaches, and nausea, and many VOCs are known carcinogens.

✖ Scented candles are also typically made with synthetic fragrances, which can contain galaxolide, a commonly used synthetic musk, along with phthalates; both are hormone-disrupting chemicals. Even small amounts of these chemicals, especially phthalates are linked to health issues. 

✖ These chemicals can be released even when a candle isn’t lit.

✖ And, when you do light a candle, it can release particulate matter - tiny particles that can be inhaled and which are harmful to our lungs. 

✖ Once released, these chemicals don’t just vanish; they settle into our household dust where they can remain for a long time. Research has detected phthalates and galaxolide in 100% of tested samples of house dust! 

Unscented candles are definitely better, but even they can release harmful particulates. Use them sparingly and with good ventilation - ie, open a window or have an air filter running. 

➡️ Consider natural alternatives - simmer a pot of aromatics like cloves, cinnamon, and citrus; use flowers; diffuse essential oils or look for natural candles (i.e. beeswax, coconut oil) scented with essential oils.

Do you use candles?

Environmental toxins are one of the health pillars we explore in both: (LINK in bio)

If I were starting from scratch after 35-40, these are the 4 wellness strategies I’d focus on:

💧 Hydration
🥑 Nutrient-dense food
😴 Sleep hygiene
🚶‍♀️ Walking

These 4 alone would lead to approx. 60- 70% improvement in your wellbeing, IF you do them consistently. One-off seasonal detoxes, wellness retreats and Spa breaks DON'T count. They are lovely sides, not the main dish. 😉

🤯 Stop overwhelming yourself with complicated protocols, and wellness biohacks.

🙂 Start with what is simple, easy, and doable for you so you can do it consistently.

❌ Hydrating only with meals won’t cut it.
❌ Sleeping properly only on weekends won’t cut it.
❌ Moving your body one day a week won’t cut it.
❌ Eating healthy (or not much) during the day and pigging out in the evenings won’t cut it.

Think: lovingly supporting and nourishing your body most of the time versus deprivation (doesn’t work) and/or “perfection” (doesn’t last) once in a while.
