Every workplace needs a hauora focus ❤️🙏

🧠 Stress is more than mental.
It affects our hinengaro, wairua and tinana.

That’s why our Rongoā Mobile Clinic sessions — booked by workplaces — use rongoā Māori to bring calm back to the system.

We don’t need blood tests for hormones and to track ovulation- we have other signs/tohu such as energy levels, sexual desire and jelly like discharge.

✨ Your basal body temperature is a built-in progesterone detector. ✨

A great way to assess progesterone is to think in terms of progesterone days — the days you actually make progesterone. More progesterone days mean more of its benefits for your uterine lining, breasts, brain, and immune system. That’s why temperature tracking (BBT charting) is such a great way to assess the duration of your luteal phase and know if you’re making enough progesterone.

You can also measure progesterone with a blood test or at-home urine test, but timing is everything. Your peak progesterone will be mid-luteal — about 7 days after ovulation and 7 days before your next period. That might be “day 21” in a 28-day cycle, but in a shorter or longer cycle, the mid-luteal day shifts, too.

Fingers crossed we receive some good news from Medsafe soon at least for Treatment Resistant Depression and End of Life Anxiety affordable for our most vulnerable.

Researchers have discovered that psilocybin, the psychoactive compound in “magic mushrooms,” may extend the lifespan of human cells by over 50%. This unexpected result comes from a 2025 study that tested psilocybin’s effects on skin and lung cells. Scientists found that treated cells showed slower aging, improved repair mechanisms, and resistance to stress damage.
This finding adds to a growing body of evidence that psilocybin and related compounds could have anti-aging and regenerative properties, far beyond their current reputation as mental health therapies. Already being studied for depression, anxiety, and PTSD, psilocybin could also become part of longevity science, potentially leading to new treatments that delay age-related decline.
If validated in human trials, this breakthrough could mean psilocybin isn’t just about altering perception—it could reshape medicine itself. From anti-aging supplements to regenerative therapies, nature’s “magic” molecule may be hiding the keys to both mental health and extended lifespan.
