Our symptoms are often dismissed. It’s unfortuna

Our symptoms are often dismissed. It’s unfortunate, but true.

This is why we need to learn about our bodies, our hormones, our cycles and become our own self advocates.

We also put so much trust in our medical doctors to provide us with solutions and answers, but are often handed medications which doesn’t solve anything - only creates more issues and side effects.

Go into your appointments informed. Ask questions. Bring someone with you if you don’t feel comfortable advocating for yourself. Keep your own records so you can keep track of your own health history, blood work and can share with other practitioners.

Seek out 2nd and 3rd opinions. Build your team of trusted practitioners and doctors who are willing to give you their time and will listen.

We all deserve to be heard.

Morning rituals 💫Setting intentions. Tuning in.

Morning rituals 💫Setting intentions. Tuning in. Asking questions. Looking for guidance.

This is my favorite spread. It’s called the clarity spread. I always like to pull an animal card at the end because animal spirits have so much wisdom to share 💕

Loved this conversation with @electromagnetic_diet

Loved this conversation with @electromagnetic_diet on the power of light 🌞Being light conscious is one of the simplest, cheapest, yet most overlooked approaches to health and hormonal healing.

In today’s episode, engineer and light expert, Roudy Nassif, talks about the way light affects our overall health, including its impact on our mitochondria, blood glucose, adrenal health and sleep.

He also explains why most bluelight blocking glasses on the market are actually not that effective and how this inspired him to create his own bluelight blocking glasses company, called @vivarays.

Roudy offers up some simple, effective ways in which we can realign ourselves with the natural cycles that have forever driven our evolution and create lasting harmony with the environment that we live in.

In this episode of The Wellness Witch Podcast we dive into:
✨Why light is so important in establishing circadian rhythm
✨How to get proper light exposure in harsh seasons/climates
✨The importance of eating seasonal foods
✨Tips for making your home a healthy light environment
✨Roudy’s thoughts on magnetism and the benefits of being barefoot

It’s easy to blame our hormones. But maybe you’re exhausted and tired because:

— you didn’t set healthy boundaries
— you keep people pleasing
— you’re constantly distracted by social media & email

Our brains are always working. When do we give it time to shut off? We’re exhausted because we’re COGNITIVELY FATIGUED.

There is so much mental distraction that’s it’s draining us. So of course we feel moody, can’t sleep, are constantly craving sugar, reaching for coffee and the thought of working out seems impossible.

We don’t need more food, more coffee, more sugar or to launch more programs, post 3X a times on social or check in with what the latest influencer is saying.

We actually need to get as far away from this as possible.

We need more mental breaks. More time away from our phones. More hobbies. More connection. More fun. More nature. More laughs. More naps. More self care.

This isn’t about pointing the finger but highlighting what we are missing in our lives. It’s easy to get lost and stuck in the matrix, so I share this message just as much for me as I do for you.

Imagine running a marathon for 8+ hours a day with little to no rest or recovery? We often don’t think about our mental capacities the way we do with our physical.

I invite you to explore where you can start to create healthier boundaries. To explore what it might look and feel like days without your phone or posting. Imagine what you can create with that time? The less anxiety you could feel? The level of presence you can experience with yourself and your family?

This 👆is why so many women are confused about their health and hormones.

We idolize celebrities and follow their trends.

The fact that Kim is promoting a very toxic, PUFA filled vegan burger says it all. She’s getting paid yo! It has nothing to do with your health or the planet.

If we:
Stop chasing symptoms.
Stop chasing trends.
Stop following celebrity nutrition advice.

We’ll be far better off.
