| 44. Healing from gut + hormone imbalances | 01 Jun 2021 | 00:36:41 | |
In this episode, I share intimate and emotional details of my birth, childhood, adolescence + early adulthood. I get into the nitty gritty of what contributed to my health imbalances. I share what symptoms started as a child and how they started to exacerbate after being ignored for years. I share my experience with my functional medicine practitioner and what led me to pursue a career in this field! I wanted this episode to serve as a reminder that healing IS possible. But it isn't an overnight quick-fix. It involves taking deep inventory of your life and committing to this lifestyle change. I believe God has called us closer to him by going through these healing journeys. It's a gentle nudge to "wake up" so we can understand all that we have been through and what we have put into and onto our bodies. Just as it took years and years to become symptomatic, it can take some time to gently peel layers back. We need to ditch the quick-fix mentality so we can achieve true optimal health which is by no means linear ♥️ Four Phases of Your Cycle Webinar Castor oil pack discount code KMW | |||

| 43. Ovulation: The Main Event of Your Cycle | 25 May 2021 | 00:28:34 | |
Today, we’re going to talk about supporting OVULATION which releases the true feel good hormone… progesterone! In Monday’s email, I discussed estrogen dominance. Be sure to sign up here so you don't miss out on any emails! When there’s estrogen dominance present (not enough progesterone to oppose estrogen) that can usually also mean there’s a thyroid issue present, poor liver and gallbladder health, etc all leading to symptoms such as irregular periods or (late) periods, heavy, painful bleeding, PMS, lack of period, etc. You guys may have heard me say this… but your period is not the main event of your cycle. OVULATION IS! So tune in to learn about the possible reasons you’re not ovulating and how you can confirm ovulation! Books mentioned:

| 40. Less Instagram, More Connection. | 04 May 2021 | 00:27:31 | |
When reviewing others’ social activity, people tend to make comparisons such as, “Did I get as many likes as someone else?,” or “Why didn’t this person like my post, but this other person did?” They’re searching for validation on the internet that serves as a replacement for meaningful connection they might otherwise make in real life. FOMO—fear of missing out—also plays a role. If everyone else is using social media sites, and if someone doesn’t join in, there’s concern that they’ll miss jokes, connections, or invitations. Missing experiences can create anxiety and depression. When people look online and see they’re excluded from an activity, it can affect thoughts and feelings, and can affect them physically. A 2018 British study tied social media use to decreased, disrupted, and delayed sleep, which is associated with depression, memory loss, and poor academic performance. Social media use can affect users’ physical health even more directly. Researchers know the connection between the mind and the gut can turn anxiety and depression into nausea, headaches, muscle tension, and tremors. The earlier teens start using social media, the greater impact the platforms have on mental health. This is especially true for females. While teen males tend to express aggression physically, females do so relationally by excluding others and sharing hurtful comments. Social media increases the opportunity for such harmful interactions. In addition to providing young people with a window through which they can view missed experiences, social media puts a distorted lens on appearances and reality. Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat increase the likelihood of seeing unrealistic, filtered photos at a time when teen bodies are changing. In the past, teens read magazines that contained altered photos of models. Now, these images are one thumb-scroll away at any given time. Apps that provide the user with airbrushing, teeth whitening, and more filters are easy to find and easier to use. It’s not only celebrities who look perfect—it’s everyone. When there’s a filter applied to the digital world, it can be hard for teens to tell what’s real and what isn’t, which comes at a difficult time for them physically and emotionally. This “social comparison” factor takes many forms online that can negatively affect users of social media. To compensate for the natural tendency to compare themselves with the people they interact with online, young people need to remind themselves that social media makes people and things look better and more attractive than they are in real life. This is why I’m moving away from Instagram and shifting my main platform to be on my website - I plan on using social media as a strategic tool so I can spend less time on it which I’ve already been practicing and I have been so much happier, less worried, less anxious, less crippled by this little app. I plan on spending my time that I would have been spending on instagram - cultivating deeper connections with friends + family, reading more books, going on more hikes, planning big things for my practice and devoting more play time with my dogs. I hope this message resonated well with you. I simply want you to become aware of the matrix we have created for ourselves… as easily as we created for it for ourselves, we can create a different vortex for ourselves too - cultivating real human connection like we once used to.
