I'm so excited for you to tune into another Q&A episode! Here are the 4 JUICY questions I answer: 1. What can I do to lessen/prevent heavy periods & clotting? 2. How much impact do exterior toxins have on your body/health? 3. How does long term use of an IUD affect your hormones? And 4. Is a post workout drink harmful to my hormones like a preworkout drink is? SUCH awesome questions!! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
- What can I do to lessen/prevent heavy periods, clots,?
- Heavy periods are mostly from EXCESS ESTROGEN-body isn’t detoxifying your estrogen it properly (in your liver &/or gut)
- Your LIVER processes and metabolizes hormones and then moves it onto the gut where they’re eliminated through poop.
- Go back to EPISODE 10 to learn more about healing your gut
- TIPS TO HELP: Reduce/remove caffeine, alcohol & dairy because they increase estrogen, & add in cooked Cruciferous veggies (kale, brussels, cauliflower, cabbage, collards)
- Check out EPISODE 11 for more info on CAFFEINE & HORMONES.
2. SARAH: How much impact do exterior toxins have on your body/health
- Skin is your largest organ- it absorbs 80% of what you put on it.
- Most of the chemicals in conventional products are BANNED in Europe but allowed in the United States
- Whatever we put on our skin goes right into the bloodstream
- There are more than 80,000 chemicals on the market & many don't have any safety data. Especially those used in the skin care and beauty industry.
- The Food and Drug Administration (the agency that regulates cosmetics in the United States) does not have the authority to remove harmful ingredients from the products we put on our bodies every single day.
- Decades of studies show that health issues such as asthma, cancer, and infertility are on the rise and are due in some part to our ongoing exposure to toxic chemicals—whether it's from the products we use in the shower, when we get ready, on our commute, while we eat lunch or when we clean our homes.
- Toxic chemicals can alter important biological systems (like the endocrine system, which regulates our hormones).
- Candles, household cleaning products & environmental toxins put a burden on our liver which slows down our ability to metabolize excess hormones.
