The main event of a women's natural menstrual cycle is ovulation, whether you are trying to conceive or not.

Progesterone is a wonderful and essential hormone that helps women feel calm, relaxed, and emotionally balanced.

🌿 Who's had a rough winter with the little ones getting sick! ✋

We're all doing the best we can and with the arrival of spring there may be some reprieve, here are a few of my tips and tricks for supporting kids immunity.

Children aren’t born with fully functioning immune systems. Their immune system is under construction for the first few years of life.

Menopause is a human superpower and a natural process to be accepted and celebrated. There are also many different options to help support you and guide you through this transition. Love Lara’s book recommendations below!

Menopause isn’t a mistake. It’s a human superpower.

In my last post, I said the low estrogen of menopause is not a deficiency, and some asked: “But didn’t all women used to die by 45?”

That’s a myth based on averages. Historical life expectancy was skewed by high child mortality and deaths from infection, injury, and childbirth. The lucky women who managed to survive those hazards have always lived into their 70s or 80s. And have always outlived men. (Life expectancy = population average dragged down by child deaths. Biological lifespan = how long healthy humans can live.)

Furthermore, science suggests that a longer human lifespan (for both sexes) may have evolved so women could spend decades in a post-reproductive life phase, sharing care and knowledge with their family groups.

Modern twist? Estrogen therapy can still help some (myself included). Both things can be true.
