At my age, I know a lot of women that are either suffering from bad periods every month or menopausal symptoms. I’ve used OVA-M for a month and a half and I’m finally starting to feel myself and those premenopausal symptoms are under control. I had no idea how bad those symptoms would get. Women don’t talk about this enough. I found through this journey that it is important to share so we know what to expect. I also never had really bad periods until I started perimenopause but after talking to a lot of my girlfriends, I found that many women suffer from tons of different types of period issues every month. Some are debilitating. I have a couple of friends who have been taking OVA for bad periods and are having an easier period. It is so important for me to feel myself and before taking these healthy, nontoxic supplements, I felt like someone had taken over my body. Mood swings, fatigue, joint pain, horrible periods, and just not recognizing myself. All those symptoms were to the extreme. Take control of the things that seem so uncontrollable.

What Is Your Daily Self-Care Routine...Do You Even Have One?? I am hearing a lot of buzz around prioritizing “self-care” these days...but what does that *actually* look like? I see a lot of these posts accompanied by pictures of spa days and facials...but self-care is not all about pedicures, yoga mats and affirmations. It’s important to practice DAILY self-care. For some...self-care might mean making sure they take a shower or eat breakfast. For others...it might mean drinking more water or even making their bed in the morning. It might mean setting some stricter boundaries on time. Or getting some help with childcare responsibilities so that they can go window shopping. Self-care is going to look different for everyone. Don’t get caught up in the “nice idea” of it. Think about what you must have/do to be your best on a daily basis. Then make it a priority. Ask for what you need and expect it… Because when you get what you need...everything and everyone you give yourself to in a day will also benefit… Tell me ONE self-care action that is a MUST for you... . . . #weightlossstruggles #mindsetmatters #hormonalimbalance #mentalclarity #weightlosstransformation #fatloss #perimenopausehealth #goals #healthyweightlossjourney #bellyfatloss #cortisol #stressweightgain https://www.instagram.com/p/CW8UJ8vDryV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Don't be this person at the party. It is never popular to be as drunk as a skunk or in this case an adorable pup. (No animals were actually given alcohol) . You may notice as you age even one drink can feel bad enough the next day that you don't even want to bother. . The liver needs a little help. The body needs enough water and fiber to make sure it isn't overwhelmed by toxins that should already be out of the body. Liver cleansing foods like beets, watercress, and dandelion can help the liver to function well. . This organ is in charge of so much including processing our hormones, fats, & toxins. Maybe skip the drink. Give yourself a delicious beet juice or salad instead :) Share, like, & follow to keep learning. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #perimenopause #perimenopausal #perimenopausehealth #perimenopauselikeaboss #perimenopausehelp #perimenopauserelief #menopausehealth #menopauseweightloss #menopausesupport #menopausalmetabolism #menopausalsupport #habits #habitsofhealth #liverdetox #detox #hormonemetabolism #estrogenexcess #pcos #pcosweightloss #detoxification #alcoholfree #alcoholism #saturdaynight #pdxhealthywomen #pdxhealthy #pdxhealth #toxinfree #toxinfreeliving (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B88UIH-FyyA/?igshid=1aedq0b4a1o5n

HOW TO STOP BLOATING - I'm certainly not the greatest wizard to ever live but I do like to think I've learned, at least, a thing or two in my time as a coach. One of those things is how to reduce (or stop) bloating Worth noting, there R many possible reasons for y u may b getting bloated. & it's impossible for me to tell u wht exactly, is causing it. & for tht reason, if u find urself chronically bloated, u 100% should speak to ur doctor (& I encourage u to ask them abt IBS & to check for any food intolerances because those r common culprits). First thing I'd say is quit eating raw veggies& start cooking them. Along those lines, it's smart to reduce (or eliminate) cruciferous veggies because, if u're prone to bloating, they can wreak havoc on ur stomach. If u don't know wht "cruciferous vegetables" r, u can type those 2 words right into the Google machine & it will tell u, literally, everything u could ever want to know Sipping hot water and/or tea is another of my favorite charms tht works *really* well. I'm not 100% sure y but, if I had to guess, it makes it easier for the food to be broken down and digested without getting "stuck" and sitting there As for the rest, eating smaller/more frequent meals can help with digestion. Probiotics & digestive enzymes get solid reviews but don't work for everyone/everything. Sugar alcohols affect everyone differently but, for what it's worth, I've seen them cause a metric eff ton of bloating in *a lot* of people (myself included) so just be aware. And when in doubt, going on a light walk or bike or doing any low intensity cardio can work wonders in reducing the bloat. hope this helps and, as always, any questions leave em below💪 - #bloatedbelly #bloated #bloating #pms #tea #water #hottea #hotwater #probiotics #digestion #enzymes #walk #walking #cardio #liss #steadystate #bodybuilding #bodybuildingcom #healthy #bloatingremedy #metabolichealth #perimenopausehealth #highcholesterol #bloidsugarbalance #antiinflammatorydiet #gutbrainconnection #digestionsupport #nutritioncounselling #inflammationrelief #optimalnutrition https://www.instagram.com/p/CDbE5z4pqYE/?igshid=b6d56djly74l

😂😭 These are funny but so true! Peri-menopause sucks!! Who’s there with me and can relate? I found a menopause formula-all natural- that I started two days ago and the past two nights I slept so good, I actually dreamed. I didn’t wake up to pee either when I’m usually up 2-3 times every night. I’m praying this works on all my other symptoms. This is a new formula and the initial users have had great success with it. I’m praying it works because i don’t want to go on hormones. I just want to feel like me again. Are you in any of the stages of menopause? What do you do to help the symptoms? #menopause #perimenopause #menopauserelief #menopausesucks #menopausehealth #postmenopause #premenopause #menopausefitness #menopausehelp #menopauseproblems #menopauseawareness #perimenopausefitness #menopauseproblem #naturalmenopause #menopauseremedies #menopauseweightgain #menopausemom #perimenopauselikeaboss #perimenopausehealth #menopausechat #yogaformenopause #p23 #menopauseadvice #perimenopausesucks #modere #healthymenopause #prematuremenopause #menopausetips #menopausewarrior #midlife (at Fullerton, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CovQ7BDy23G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here are 3 things that your skin might experience during menopause and how you can adapt your skincare routine to manage them: ⚡ Dryness – a reduction in oestrogen levels effects the level of collagen in our skin and oil production too. As a result, our skin becomes thinner and can also become dry. ⚡ Breakouts - as oestrogen levels fall, so testosterone becomes unregulated and more influential on our skin. One of the side effects of too much testosterone is acne that appears similar to teenage varieties. ⚡ Sensitivity – delicate capillaries, hot flushes and thinner skin can make you more sensitive to external irritants and skin products. Some tips on how to manage them: ⭐ Use skin-sensitive products and mild cleansers rather than soap. Avoid ingredients, such as silicon and dimethicone and consider trying products with vitamin A and hyaluronic acid that promote healthy skin function. ⭐ Boost blood circulation to your face by taking 5-minutes out of each day to carry out a mindful facial massage, using some face oil and a Gua sha tool or your fingers. ⭐ Wear at least SPF 30 every day to protect sensitive skin from the harsh rays of the sun. ⭐ Consider taking collagen and vitamin C supplements to support capillary strength and the growth of healthy skin. Have you experienced any of these skin changes? How have you adapted your routines to cope? #menopauseskin #perimenopause #healthyskincare #menopausal #selfcareskincare #skincareselfcare #menopause​ #40plus #over40​ #positiveageing #positiveaging​ #50plus #beautyhasnoage #realbeauty​ #rawbeauty​#simplifiedskincare #perimenopausehealth #perimenopausesupport​#sofialatifoils #menopausematters #menopausehealth #menopausesupport #skinimalism #40plusskincare (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT2IlFZMBZQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

How many of you have felt comfortable in having a conversation with your friends or family about perimenopause? For many women, topics around perimenopause are scarcely spoken about. It’s especially difficult to know how to navigate this natural stage of life, when there’s so little mainstream conversation on the subject too. When we talk more, we peel away the uncertainty, we ask the questions we’ve been too unsure to raise and we get answers to questions we never thought to ask! Only good things can come from these conversations and passing them on. I’d love to support by opening my DMs for a conversation with you if it will help you – ask me your questions below or send me a DM and let’s have a chat. ​ 📸 @kaboompics #perimenopause​#healthyskincare​#menopausal​#selfcareskincare​#skincareselfcare​#menopauseskin​#menopause​ #40plus​#over40​ #positiveageing​#positiveaging​#beautyhasnoage​#realbeauty​ #rawbeauty​#simplifiedskincare​#perimenopausehealth​#perimenopausesupport​#sofialatifoils​#mentalwellbeing​#keeptalking (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSHbIbBjx6_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Are you team matcha or team coffee? I love coffee but it doesn't always love me. Not drinking coffee every day has helped me with my hot flushes and feelings of overwhelm (linked to stress). I never believed it would but it has. I've replaced it with matcha which has many health benefits too, one of which is to help deal with stress. Matcha contains L-Theanine, an amino acid, which has a calming effect and increases alertness. This unique amino acid creates alpha waves in the brain which fights stress signals, leading to a calm mind and relaxed body. It helps our body to produce dopamine which improves our mood and boosts our memory and concentration. You can read more about how matcha could be better for you than coffee on Sofia’s Blog 👆🏽 So, which are you - team matcha or team coffee? 👇🏽 #matchatea #matchalover #matchalatte #coffeelover #sofialatifoils #stressrelief #healthyliving #destress #perimenopausehealth #menopausecare #calmmind #hotflushes #hotflashes #rawbeauty #memorysupport #boostconcentration #veganliving #indybeauty #ukbeautybrand #40plus #50plus #earlymenopause (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRzHppzL7Ac/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'd like to be able to say things like: -"I consume only a whole food diet" -"I grew this myself" -"I made this coconut milk myself" and many more statement that if they were true would take awesome to a whole new level. The reality is this chocolate bar gives me my fix, this coconut milk is so creamy delicious, this hops/chamomile drink calms me down while lifting my mood, and Clear Mind makes me better able to focus. I analyze the contents of my food like I will be made up of it. They passed the test.
