Don’t get too excited 😆(or panicked 😱)! It’s not what you think. 🤣 During the last 14 months, my cycles have been irregular and unpredictable for the first time in my life after experiencing two major traumatic life events during a four month period, followed by mold poisoning. While I feel like I handled the mental/emotional aspect of these #traumas quite well thanks to my daily #meditation and #mindfulness practice, and the immense love and support I have received from my family, friends, and community, my body is telling me that the #stress of these events have had an impact on my #hormones! ~ I am using this #ovulation test kit to determine the best day to complete my #DUTCH hormone test so that I can investigate what is happening with my hormones and come up with a plan of action to bring them back into balance as I do with my own clients. ~ I am too young to be going into #menopause, and would like to keep my sex hormones strong and balanced AT LEAST into my mid-fifties. Early menopause is associated with many negative health risks and unpleasant symptoms, including: 👉🏼 increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes & stroke (☠️) 👉🏼 Mood issues (😠😭😤) 👉🏼 Impaired cognitive function/brain fog (🤯) 👉🏼 Increased risk of #osteoporosis (☠️) 👉🏼 Decreased #libido (🙅🏻‍♀️🤬) 👉🏼 Hot flashes (😰) 👉🏼 Night sweats (😰) 👉🏼 Vaginal dryness (🙅🏻‍♀️🤬) ~ I love having access to functional lab testing that helps to uncover the underlying causes of dysfunction in the body! ~ #functionallabtesting #dutchtest #earlymenopause #brainfog #hotflashes #nightsweats #adrenalhealth #healyourbody #mindsetboss #FDN #fatigue #chronicfatigue #momboss #mindsetboss #glutenfree #guthealth #paleo #aip #primal #grainfree #happyhormones #hormonebalance #menstrualcycle #healyourbody #functionalmedicine #functionalmedicinecoach (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsbwv8onmLV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1smlmn1z5cph9

Is a leaky gut to blame for bad breath and body odor?

To put it in layman’s terms, a leaky gut is when the walls of the intestines become more permeable than normal and allow bacteria and other harmful substances to “leak” out into the bloodstream. . Leaky gut occurs when the lining of the intestinal walls becomes inflamed and the pores begin to open up allowing things like bacteria (good and bad), toxins, and fecal matter into the bloodstream.

Can Anxiety Cause Digestive Problems?

Anxiety doesn’t feel like most people describe it. It is more intense than worry. When the mind enters a state of fear it releases stress hormones like cortisol and norephinephrine (also a neurotransmitter) in preparation to face a difficult situation. In psychology this is known as the ‘flight-or-fight’ response. These hormones are extremely helpful when you need them. However, when you have them when you are sedentary, say at the computer, they create many uncomfortable feelings. These feelings are real sensations that come from the body; they are not simply figments of the imagination.

Is Chronic Fatigue Real?

The difficulty in diagnosing CFS is the fact that all of the symptoms can be explained by a wide range of illnesses. This leads  patients/doctors into a long guessing game. Furthermore, the condition itself is impossible to diagnose specifically, as it is beyond our current tools. CFS is a complex condition that involves metabolic dysregulation, inflammation, circadian rhythm function, cellular stress responses and mitochondrial function.Furthermore, even once CFS is diagnosed the allopathic model of health care offers little for successful treatment options. Based on the above we can see why many health practitioners would have varying opinions and it would be controversial in nature.
