Today marks the beginning of #AlcoholAwarenessWeek and we’re looking at some of the myths around alcohol. 1. Alcohol helps you sleep – alcohol may help you fall asleep quicker, but it also prevents you from having as much deep sleep, leaving you feeling tired the next day. 2. Drinking red wine is good for you – scientists tend to agree that the risks outweigh the benefits, alcohol increases the chances of developing high blood pressure and stroke. 3. It only harms heavy drinkers – alcohol can harm anyone, regardless of age, background or gender. 4. Alcohol improves sexual performance – alcoholism can result in temporary impotence, shrinking of sex organs, reduced sperm formation, failure to ovulate and menstrual problems. 5. Alcoholics only have themselves to blame – alcohol is all around us, everywhere we go, and anyone can experience problems at any point in our lives. This week let’s take a leading role in supporting our friends, family and co-workers in building a healthier relationship with alcohol.

Managing menstrual or menopause health challenges seems to come with a long, complicated, list of items to take and do 🤔. In reality, designing a personal toolkit to support the daily changes can be made more straightforward than that, and we cover this in Lesson 1 of our courses. 1️⃣ Number one on anyone's list should be to 'breathe and be still'. Wherever someone is on their menstrual health timeline, or menstrual cycle, lowering cortisol levels will give sex hormones, and the hormone collective, a better chance of doing the job they are designed to do. It's all about thinking in terms of making menstrual health easy, and how to support clients with simple, effortless steps. #menopausehealth #menopauseatwork #perimenopausehelp #postmenopausehealth

DID YOU KNOW? NUTRITION AND SEX ARE INTERTWINED. A 2019 article published in the journal Current Sexual Health Reports explored the relationship between inflammation, female sexual desire, and arousal. . Researchers suggested anti-inflammatory interventions as a potential treatment for improving sexual desire and arousal. . In essence, women with lower levels of inflammation appear to experience more feelings of wanting, wishing, or desiring sexual activity, as compared to women who experience long term inflammation. . And it's a fact that 70-80% of your immune system is in your GUT, and the FOODS you EAT have a direct impact on how stimulated your immune system gets. Overstimulation creates chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation decreases libido, sexual desire, and arousal. . So how do you know WHICH foods are causing this chronic inflammation? THAT is where Victus88 can help. Victus88 is a Gut Health test that will tell you EXACTLY which foods are safe for you versus which foods are HURTING you. . Your physical, mental, and sexual health are all interdependent on the FOODS you eat. .

During the first half of our menstrual cycle, the sex hormone estrogen needs dominance in order for us to ovulate. However, its ratio is incredibly important. Estrogen needs to be present in just the right amount (not too much, and not too little!) for our hormones to remain balanced. Often, estrogen gets overproduced (or progesterone gets under produced due to stress, improper nourishment, or nutrient deficiency), which can lead to estrogen dominance and a variety of unpleasant symptoms. Other times, estrogen may be low due to excessive exercise or not eating enough. Flax and pumpkin seeds help bring estrogen levels back into balance by encouraging the right amount to be produced, while simultaneously preventing excess buildup. In the second half of our menstrual cycle, our body requires the sex hormone progesterone to build the uterine lining and encourage a period. #thyroidhealing #thyroidproblems #hypothyroid #hormonebalance #hormonehealth #hormones #perimenopausehealth #pmsproblems #hashimotos #drnirvana #seedcycling #periods #periodproblems #periodcramps #periodpain #periodstruggles
