How is your sleep?

Today is World Sleep Day! How well we sleep can directly affect our overall health, and a consistent lack of sleep can contribute to the development and progression of chronic health issues.

Adequate sleep is essential for metabolism, hormone regulation, immune function and cardiovascular health.

Poor sleep has been linked to an increased risk of chronic health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

10 Signs you are not getting enough sleep:
💤 Fatigue and daytime sleepiness
💤 Difficulty concentrating
💤 Mood changes
💤 Impaired motor skills
💤 Increased appetite and weight gain
💤 Weakened immune function
💤 Difficulty managing emotions
💤 Headaches
💤 Increased risk of chronic health conditions
💤 Poor skin health

Lack of sleep can be attributed to many factors, however, for individuals struggling with falling asleep and staying asleep, research has shown certain nutrients to be helpful along with building a healthy sleep routine!

If you don’t know where to start to improve your sleep, reach out!

As we enter midlife cholesterol levels jump! This often goes unnoticed until levels are checked.

🧩Why are we all worried about cholesterol? Cholesterol has a bad rep. Undeservedly. So let’s unpick the subject a little bit, so it’s clearer and you can make better informed decisions for yourself.

What is cholesterol?
It is a fat, wax-like substance found in every single cell of our body.
Cholesterol is the main structural component of our brain and nervous system.
Cholesterol is needed to produce many of our hormones, vitamin D and bile.

Where do we get cholesterol from?
We produce our own cholesterol, in fact, 90% of it. Only 10% of our cholesterol is taken from the food we eat.
A bit surprising, right?

Why does cholesterol have a bad rep?
Because it can be both amazing in its good properties, but also less amazing if it gets damaged. And when it gets damaged it becomes dangerous!

When it comes to understanding your cholesterol numbers you need to look at the ratios not only the absolute numbers. The ratios tell you the real story.

What if your numbers are too high?
Many people start to take statins but sorting out the below nutrition & lifestyle factors can help also:
🧩Look at your blood sugar levels
🧩Improve your gut & liver health
🧩Manage your stress levels
🧩Make movement your priority

If you need further help just reach out to me! 😊 .

Today is World Menopause Day-when this awareness day was first established menopause was like a dirty secret that nobody wanted to talk about.

Over the last two years we have seen an explosion of information about this life phase. Books were written, TV programs were made, celebrities started to share their their experiences, support groups were established.

It is great to see that perimenopause and menopause is being talked about more openly now.😊

This year’s theme is cardiovascular health.🩺
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death for women across the developed world.

There is a link between general (cardiovascular) health and menopause.
Come and join me on 21st October for my Let’s talk menopause workshop to find out more.🔎

Are you perimenopausal?
Lot’s of women don’t realised that they are. They put down their symptoms: lack of sleep, lack of motivation, weight gain, brain fog, fatigue etc. to the fact that they are busy juggling family/work/kids. The Greene Climacteric Scale is often used in healthcare settings & is a useful tool to assess your symptoms. This list is not exhaustive, as there 34 different symptoms related to perimenopause, some of them quite unusual: hair loss, itchy skin, burning mouth, digestive issues. Have you experienced any of these symptoms?
