Painful, irregular periods, aren't the norm. Growing up around mostly women (yay girl power - sorry dad), it was understood that periods= bad PMS, emo-coasters (like a roller coaster but for your mood), and an overall cranky zombie demeanour, was common. Like, doesn't every woman have crippling stomach pain? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ladies, it's not! Periods are normal; ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
out-of-this-world PMS and cramping are not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this webinar you'll learn how what you eat for breakfast can make or break your periods for that cycle, the role of conditions like PCOS in hormone balance, and 3 strategies to combat period probs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Got 99 problems? Make sure your period ain't one!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

💇🏽‍♀️Have you seen those ads for hair gummies?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So f***ing DISTRESSING.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is candy really going to make my hair grow back!? 🤦🏻‍♀️no. it's not. Let's get to the real issues here ladies. Hair loss is MULTIFACTORIAL! Meaning, it has many many many causes! (I'm shouting because I hope the internet bots can here me and stop sending me ads for super serums and gummies that'll never awaken my hair follicles from their deep slumber!!!!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND, if one more person tells me hair loss is a normal part of ageing, I'm going to flip (a table, where my hairbrush is resting, with all the hairs that fall out!@*)$*@!!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*pause for composure*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💆🏻‍♀️
There are plenty of causes of hair loss in women:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Androgenic alopecia, Female pattern hair loss ( ) due to hormonal imbalances seen in PCOS, hypothyroid, nutrient deficiency, stress, side effects of medication, and dietary and lifestyle changes, and more!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So while I really don't think hair gummies are going to do boo all for hair growth, I do think it's about time we sat down and talked about the real causes and effects of hair loss in women. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As someone who's tried all the home remedies for scalp and hair health, I'm tired of the false promises of an overnight beautiful mane. Real problems need real solutions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check out my latest blog on hair loss, androgenic alopecia, FPHL, and current therapies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Irregular periods are the worst!
Dr. Anousha Z. Usman, ND lists some of the top 4 reasons why your period may be out of whack! Check them out here:

Irregular menstrual cycles are frustrating! A young woman recounts her experience with irregular periods: “The hardest part was knowing when it [her period] would come and understanding where the heck my emotions were at. I was tired in school and didn’t have much focus [around menstruation]; th...

There's literally nothing worse than when you decide to wear your favourite outfit and your period shows up. Unexpected and uninvited (for another few weeks at least).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The other side of the spectrum is when you invite your period but it shows up more than fashionably late.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Talk about rude!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that PCOS ISN'T THE ONLY CAUSE OF IRREGULAR CYCLES?! other root causes include thyroid dysfunction, extreme weight changes, and stress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Read about it in my latest blog, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Life is unpredictable, periods shouldn't have to be!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
