Do You Want to Have Balanced Hormones? Start With improving the Gut Health.
Are you struggling with estrogen dominance, anxiety, candida, weight gain, a thyroid condition, hair loss and more? You might not be aware, but the gut health and hormone health are closely related.

Our gut is a barrier, which lets things in that […]

Best Foods to Eat For Breakfast When You’re in Menopause
During menopause women tend to gain weight. While this isn’t great it’s pretty common and there are many reasons why.

Muscle mass uses energy (burns calories) so when we have less of it the body burns less energy overall, leading to weight gain. Unfortunately, this weight gain may appear as increased belly fat. Reason #2 During menopause, there is an increase in the hunger hormone “ghrelin”. With an increase in this hormone comes the tendency to feel hungrier. Menopause also decreased the “satiety” hormone “leptin” […]

Lacking in nutrition in each of these areas can lead to health and psychological issues, such as malnutrition, fatigue, poor body image and stress. In the long run, it’s a recipe for becoming increasingly dissatisfied with life resulting in unhappiness. More often than not, it […]
Importance of Inner Peace for Balanced Hormones.
Most of us spend the entirety of our lives looking for a way to be happy. Some of us will never find it, not because it is impossible but because we focus on the wrong things.

Inner peace comes from loving ourselves and making our inner voice love us. Women’s hormones are driving our life– if they are happy, physically and emotionally we […]
