Microblog: Why Some Women Have Horrible Perimenopause?

@carnivorecure excerpt: Do you wonder why some women have horrible perimenopause? 📞During perimenopause, the adrenal glands take over the main production of estrogen from the ovaries. The adrenals are part of the endocrine system that is responsible for managing all hormones and their communications. 🏃🏻‍♀️Ideally when the shift happens, the adrenals are in good function. If women are suffering from blood sugar handling issues, the perimenopause period will be difficult. Imagine a relay race and the ovaries are done with their lap and now passing the baton to the adrenals to now make estrogen. 🥵If the adrenals are not in a condition to take over making estrogen, the adrenals will suffer even more. ⁉️So what causes adrenals to be in less than ideal conditions? Sugars, stress, etc. If we overconsume...

Microblog: The Endocrine Cascade

The endocrine system manages all hormones in the body. The endocrine cascade usually starts with blood sugar imbalances and CASCADES all the way down to sex hormone IMBALANCES over time. The waterfall is a great representation of how things start breaking down in the body. ⚠️Your adrenal glands didn’t start to get imbalanced overnight. Neither did your thyroid or sex hormones. The endocrine system includes the adrenals, hormones and thyroid, and is a complex system. Administering one hormone replacement here or there is not ideal. 👩🏻‍🏫Let me give you an example. 1️⃣Adrenal function is favored over reproduction, metabolic rate, and other endocrine functions for pure survivability. The adrenal glands get priority over nutrients and hormonal precursors from the rest of the endocrine system. 🚨Yes, if you are stressed, your...

Microblog: The Spoon Theory

Watch the clip here. Watch the full interview here. Chronic illness and The Spoon Theory. “The Spoon Theory”, a personal story by Christine Miserandino, is popular among many people dealing with chronic illness. It describes perfectly this idea of limited energy, using “spoons” as a unit of energy. Miserandino lives with lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease which causes an immune system to attack the body’s healthy cells. One day, Miserandino writes, her friend wanted to understand better the realities of living with a chronic illness. “As I tried to gain my composure, I glanced around the table for help or guidance, or at least stall for time to think. I was trying to find the right words. How do I answer a question I never was able to answer for myself? Miserandino...

Microblog: Healing from Addictions

Watch the clip here. Watch the full interview here. Healing from any addiction requires multiple things. 🔅You need to abstain.🔅You need mental fortitude to say no when times get hard. 💡But you also need new habits to take over when addictions came into play. 🧠When our lizard brain or our fight/flight response kicks in, we need another automated response to take over—otherwise inevitably, we go back to our past addiction. ❤️‍🩹Diet alone won’t fix everything. We have to fix the areas that make us feel less than ideal. You can’t hide everything under the invisible rug. The body keeps the score. ⛑Find the areas you turn to your vices. Figure out why. It’s not easy but it makes all the difference. — 📺 Full interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Orj3C-nHp1U 🎙Full interview on podcast: https://nutritionwithjudy.buzzsprout.com/1848795/11331211-199-how-40-years-of-depression-and-anxiety-was-resolved-brett-lloyd ...

Microblog: The Facts about Cattle and Labeling Meat

All cattle are grass-fed cattle.This is another reason why it’s difficult to know if meat is truly 100% organic, grass fed and grass finished (and on grass!). One way is by asking your source to confirm that the meat is 100% grass fed and true grass.⠀⚠️The USDA does not offer any distinction to consumers for the two different types, so we have to do our own investigating.⠀🌱Grass fed beef generally means beef from cattle that have eaten only grass or forage during their lives, however some producers do call their beef grass fed but then actually finish the animals on grain for the last 90 to 160 days before slaughter.⠀⠀🌱Grass finished beef refers to the time that cattle are normally fattened for the last few...
