Girl, Let's Talk About It

Have you come off the pill, to find that your hormones are imbalanced and/or your period is missing? Or perhaps you know of a family member or friend who has. Unfortunately today, this is a far too common scenario for women and we can relate, given our first hand experience of this. 

Through a holistic & natural approach, we were able to bring our bodies back into balance and regain our periods! Today we are going walk you through how we did. We dive into:

• Our personal journeys
• HPA & OAT axis
• Testing
• Stress
• Diet
• Supplements
• Exercise
• Essential oils
• Sleep
• Detoxification support
• Complementary therapies
• Cycle tracking

We really hope that by sharing our journey’s, we help you with yours.  

Why do you drink alcohol? Do you feel social pressure? How does it make you feel?  Have you ever thought about what your life would look like if you didn’t drink alcohol? 

Join us as we dive into this somewhat controversial topic and explore:

• Our personal journeys with drinking alcohol
• Questions to ask yourself
• Social culture 
• Health impacts 
• Shift towards a new paradigm

We really hope this episode empowers you to reflect on your relationship with alcohol, what role it plays in your life and if you’re making choices that are in alignment with your values & desires.

Lots of love xx
