Your body does everything it can to support you. As I tell my clients all the time- 'everything is connected!'. Your body instinctively knows that maintaining your gorgeous locks is not a life or death priority. When you are under stress, it releases cortisol (your flight or fight hormone) and sends the nourishment you give it to the systems that need it most.

Chronic stress puts pressure on your adrenal glands, causing them to produce excess cortisol. This can cause chronic inflammation in the body leading to blood sugar imbalances and insulin resitance. It also causes vitamin and mineral deficiencies to occur.

Zinc & Iron are necessary for hair growth. When the body is under stress, it distrupts digestion and causes depletion of these important minerals.

Vitamins A. B. and C are also necessary for hair growth, but get depleted by other bodily functions when under stress and cortisol levels become elevated.

Five Vital Nutrients for Thyroid Support

1. Magnesium- helps convert free T4 to free T3 and helps keep thyroid antibodies at normal levels.

Natural Food Sources: Wild Caught Fatty Fish, Avocados, Leafy Greens (preferably cooked)

2. Zinc- helps convert free T4 to free T3 and is needed for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)

Natural Food Sources: Organic Pastured Eggs, Grass Feed- Grass Finished Meats, Oysters

3. Iron- needed to produce and helps make free T4 and free T3

Natural Food Sources: Grass Feed- Grass Finished Meats, Oysters, Organic Pastured Eggs, Liver (I like dessicated Liver Capsules)

4. Iodine- helps convert free T4 to free T3 and is vital to producing free T4

Natural Food Sources: Wild Caught Seafood, Seaweed, Organic Pastured Eggs

5. Selenium- necessary for the conversion of free T4 into free T3, helps support immune system and helps reduce TPO antibodies.

Natural Food Sources: Wild Shrimp, Wild Fish (Halibut, Sardines, Tuna), Organic Pastured Eggs, Organic Grass Fed & Grass Finished Meats (Beef, Chicken, Turkey. Lamb), Brazil Nuts

Bonus: Vitamins A, B,C- these vitamins help balance the levels of thyroid hormones in the body, helps utlize thyroid hormones effectively, offers adrenal & nervous system support, and work with iodine to produce free T4 and T3.

This 5 minute breathing technique lowers blood pressure as much as exercise or drugs & boosts cardiovascular health in menopausal women!

Researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder recently performed a study of volunteers between 50-79 with healthy to slightly above normal blood pressure readings. Some of the volunteers performed just 5 minutes of the 'high resistance' Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (IMST) for six weeks. IMST requires you to inhale really hard on a small, affordable, easily available device that provides resistance; strengthening breathing muscles (inspiratory muscles) as well as your diaphragm (imagine sucking hard into a tube that sucks back).

At the end of the study, the subjects had a 9 point drop in their systolic blood pressure- a reduction that generally exceeds that achieved by walking 30 minutes daily/ 5 days a week. This decline is also equal to the effects of some blood pressure lower medication regimes. What's more fascinating, is that 6 weeks after the study was finished- the subjects maintained most of that improvement!

Post menopausal women (unless on HRT) don't reap as much benefit from aerobic exercise when it comes to vascular endothelial function (inner lining of the blood vessels). If aerobic exercise won't help improve cardiovascular health for menopausal & post menopausal women, this can be the lifestyle intervention that will!

Easy Swaps to Support Your Thyroid

1. Unhealthy Oils-- Vegetable, Soy, Corn, Canola, Safflower (Polyunsaturated fats PUFAs)

Healthy Swap- Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Ghee

2. Tap Water- contains harmful polluntants like chlorine which inhibits the uptake of iodine to the thyroid

Healthy Swap- Quality Filtered Water, Spring Water

3. Fluoridated Toothpaste- fluoride is a neurotoxin that inhibits the uptake of iodine to the thyroid & calcifies the pineal gland, inhibiting your natural connection to your Higher Self

Healthy Swap- Non Fluoride Toothpaste, Baking Soda, Activated Charcoal

4. Candles & Air Fresheners- artificial fragrances/ substances that contain toxic endocrine disruptors that further disrupt your hormones & nervous system

Healthy Swap- Coconut Oil or Beeswax Candles scented with essential oils, diffuse essential oils

5. Plastic Water Bottle- a toxic endocrine disruptor, chemicals leach into the water

Healthy Swap- Glass, Stainless Steel

6. Fabric Softener- high level toxic endocrine disruptor causing further havoc to your hormones

Healthy Swap- Wool Dryer Balls (apply essential oil to them if scent is desired)

Most women I speak to in peri/menopause wish they had a magic wand to get rid of the excess belly weight they can't seem to lose around their middle & lower bodies.

No matter how much you restrict your diet & how hard you workout, it seems this belly weight will not go away. It is not your fault! The underlying cause of this weight gain is not addressed by the old methods that used to work in our 20's and 30's. As we approach peri/menopause, our blood sugar levels are prone to become inbalanced due to the decline in our hormones causing insulin resistance.

Combine that with the toxins we are constantly exposed to in our environment; the water we drink, the food we eat & the products we use in our day to day lives, our body has to work super hard just to keep up! Some products, foods, & environmental factors contain 'endocrine disruptors', toxins that further wreck havoc on our remaining hormones & make our bodies expend incredible amounts of energy to process & eliminate them through our digestive system, our skin & our lungs via the kidneys & liver.

There is a way to get rid of stubborn belly weight while still eating delicious foods. It doesn't requite cutting out entire food groups, calorie counting, excessive exercise or depriving yourself!
