How to Deal with Fluid Retention
Fluid retention, also known as water retention and more formally, oedema, is not only physically uncomfortable, but it prevents your body from operating properly. Leaving you feeling heavy and sluggish, fluid retention can also cause weight gain and the look of denting on your flesh when you apply pressure to affected areas, which tend to be our extremities, like the hands, legs, ankles, and feet. What Causes Fluid Retention Let's first talk briefly about possible, but more unlikely causes of fluid retention. These include problems with lymphatic drainage, which can be a genetic issue, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can...
Help for Hot Flashes
What is a Hot Flash? A "hot flash" (also known as a hot flush), is a feeling of intense heat not attributed to any external sources. They can happen in the night (night sweats), or suddenly throughout the day and occur in both perimenopause and menopause. The cause is not fully understood but they're believed to be the result of Hypothalamus changes. The Hypothalamus is the part of the brain that regulates body temperature. This may occur due to the changing hormone levels (oestrogen and progesterone). It's said that about three-quarters of women in perimenopause will experience hot flashes and...
Here’s How Ghee Can Help Progesterone Production
Before you turn to creams or medications, try ghee to help your progesterone production. Progesterone is a vital female reproductive hormone, helping to regulate your menstrual cycle and prepare the uterus for pregnancy.

There's no question about it unless you are some kind of advanced human from some magical utopia where hormone imbalance does not exist? I think not. Hormone havoc happens to us women folk and it can be in varying degrees... Grab yourself a cuppa, a cosy spot and settle in for the next 10 minutes to absorb today's blog. I know personally, I've had my struggles and found out...
Rest Easy: Natural Sleep Tips for Women Over 40
While the amount of sleep we need as adults don’t change much (7-9 hours, if you're wondering), our ability to sleep well does. Thank increased sleep-destroying stress levels (many of us are at our career peaks in our 40s and 50s), sizable family commitments (children and aging parents), too much screen-time and inactivity, and changing hormones levels. Hormonal Changes and Sleep Disruption During perimenopause, which starts anywhere after the age of 35, our oestrogen and progesterone levels decrease, which can cause sleep changes. As our bodies adapt to the decreasing levels of these two hormones, we may have more trouble...
