When did cleaning your house start acting like smoking a pack a day?

A 20-year study of over 6,000 people found that women who regularly used chemical cleaning products at home or work had a lung function decline similar to smoking a pack of ci******es a day for 10–20 years.

Not just professional cleaners. Everyday ‘spray and wipe’, air fresheners, bathroom cleaners… all adding up over time.

This doesn’t mean you’re doomed.

It does mean:
·Your lungs are not overreacting – they’re responding to chemicals
·“Fresh” fragrance often = VOCs and airway irritation
·Microfibre + low-tox products + good ventilation are not just “nice to have”, they’re lung-saving habits

If your chest feels tight after cleaning, if you’re wheezy, or always need the window open… your body is giving you data. Listen. 💛

Want help making the shift to low-tox without feeling overwhelmed?

Our community have a workshop coming up in December where we will walk you through:
1️⃣ 5 December – Gold Coast (live, in person- would love to say hello)
2️⃣ Sydney – live event in 2026
3️⃣ Online recording if you can’t make it in person

Comment CLEAN or DM me “WORKSHOP” and I’ll send you the details.

TESTIMONIAL TIME

“After completing my work with Sylvia, I feel more in my heart. My heart is expanding and the once empty spaces that lay dormant within my heart are now being filled by love and gratitude. My heart is not bigger and yet it feels bigger. I only ever wanted to be kinder, more loving, more at peace. And this is my start.
Sylvia pointed me in the right direction with her love and guidance and her naturally caring nature. I feel blessed to have shared in her work and to be standing at the precipice of change.”

Do you practise Yin yoga?
If you do, why?
 I’m curious about the nervous system piece…grounding, slower breath, reduced tension, deeper sleep.
What shows up most consistently for you?

I’ve mostly used Yin when I’m unwell, but the research is nudging me to prioritise it for nervous system regulation and a higher HRV score.

We forget that we are nature.

Everything is connected.
Your body.
Your environment.
Your relationships.
Your emotional state.

The same branching pattern in tree roots exists in your veins.
Your nervous system regulates just like the seasons …expansion and contraction.
Your body responds to stress the same way the earth does, it holds, stores, and eventually erupts.
So when there’s inner tension, overwhelm, or self-disconnection, it shows up outside of you too:
in your home, your relationships, your work, your reactions.

This is why “fixing” life from the outside never works.
You start by regulating what’s happening inside:
    •    Clean up your inner dialogue.
    •    Create softness in your breathing.
    •    Bring your own order to your space.
    •    Respect your body’s signals.
    •    Treat yourself as part of the environment you care about.

You are not separate from anything you live inside of.

Internal clarity creates external clarity.
Internal chaos creates external chaos.

We don’t overpower nature.. we return to it.

Our biology is different.
Our training, fasting, recovery, and hormonal support must reflect that.

Here are the key insights worth paying attention to:

1. Muscle is a hormone system — not just “fitness.”

Women start losing skeletal muscle decades earlier than we realise, especially after leaving school sports.

Muscle mass influences:

Metabolism

Mood + brain health

Insulin sensitivity

Bone density

Our access to energy & confidence

More muscle = better hormone stability.
Less muscle = faster decline.

2. Strong, not skinny

Girls are still socially conditioned to be:

Small

Quiet

“Toned”

Not “too strong”

Yet muscle is the #1 predictor of longevity for women.
Not cardio.
Not supplements.
Muscle.

3. Fasting & Cold Plunging: Not one-size-fits-all.

Time-restricted eating (e.g., eating earlier in the day) can be beneficial.
But multi-day fasting can accelerate muscle loss — especially for women with already-low protein.

And cold exposure?
No strong evidence it impacts women negatively but preserve muscle first.

4 The Real Lifestyle Protocols Aren’t Sexy

No badge for suffering through menopause.
No supplement replaces these:

Protein (protein is a daily requirement, non-negotiable)

Progressive resistance training (lift heavy enough to change you)

Sleep and recovery

Community + emotional regulation

Saying no to relationships + stressors draining your nervous system

One of the doctors said it perfectly:

“You can’t take hormones unless you’re going to do lifestyle.”

MY TAKEAWAY
Women need muscle, strength, nourishment and nervous system safety and not restriction, overtraining, and pushing through exhaustion.

Jet lag is a circadian problem, not a willpower problem.

Highlights from the Biohacking Summit (Wanderlust GC, Oct 2025) — Dave Asprey, Kayla Barnes, Dr Will Cole

Highlights
What actually works (consistently):
Light first. Set your watch to destination the moment you board. Treat light like medicine: dark when it’s “night” there, bright light when it’s “morning” there.
Food timing. Don’t eat when you wouldn’t at home. Time your first proper meal to destination hours.
On-arrival melatonin (low dose) + strict light control that evening.
Move at the right time. No late-night hotel “make-up” workouts. Do morning movement at destination to reinforce the cortisol curve.
Magnesium & electrolytes. Many on the panel like magnesium threonate (brain-friendly) and keeping minerals up when flying.
Vitamin D + real sun. Get outside early; anchor the clock with daylight, not just devices.
Smart fasting/packing. If options are poor, skip the plane food or bring real food (hard-boiled eggs had a moment on stage ).
Wearables with wisdom. Use Oura/WHOOP to learn patterns—then don’t obsess. Let biofeedback (how you feel) lead.
Stress load matters. Lower background stress → faster clock reset (breath, down-regulation, simple routines).

Spicy takes from stage:
Short protocol some biohackers use: melatonin on arrival; morning light + exercise next day; tight food timing.
Novel add-ons mentioned: creatine in the morning, methylene blue for select use, and state-changing wearables (e.g., Apollo Neuro-type devices).

Bottom line: Sync light, meals, and movement to where you’re going. Then use supplements and tech as supportive, not central.

Personally, I also lean on my Young Living oils for jet lag support heavily (separate post if you want the exact routine).

Your nervous system is built for safety, not happiness so growth feels “dangerous” until you train capacity.

Shrinking looks like: overthinking, “not the right time,” numbing with scrolling/snacking, keeping life small to feel safe.

Expansion looks like: breathing first then acting, asking for the sale while regulated, saying no without guilt, letting attention feel normal in your body.

Top-down (mind): awareness, language, beliefs.
Bottom-up (body): breath, movement, scent/touch, sound.
Use both so your body can hold more life—impact, income, intimacy.

Can your nervous system hold your life, or does it still rattle you?

Values first. Weight off. Spark back.

This client shows what happens when you upgrade your inner world.
We identified the beliefs that kept her stuck. We clarified and aligned her values. Her body and choices followed.
She moved into a better role. Her behaviours changed. Her mindset shifted. She leads herself with confidence. The weight came off as a by product of alignment and nervous system safety.

Client note. “You challenged me in the best way. I finally know my values and it shows in my life.”
