![🌑WOMEN ARE SACRED [The Final Chapter] 🌑
Okay ladies, I hope you enjoyed talking about all things women's health with me for a week! We spoke on fertility & our cycle, thyroid health, adrenal fatigue, the birth control pill, orgasms, chronic health conditions that tend to be more prevalent in women, chemical-free cosmetics and skincare, and the things we shouldn't care about! ☺️ I hope you enjoyed these topics! I know the world of women's health can be a complicated place to navigate because modern medicine tends to assume our bodies work the same as men. NEWS FLASH: They don't! 😉😂 I'd love to know: What topic or post did you find the most interesting? Let me know what you thought of the series below! .

![How to make your cells dance, your blood sing, and your liver breathe a sigh of relief 💨🙌👯 Add 1 carrot, a few dandelion greens (if your grocery store carries them), a head of celery and some Hawaiian spirulina to your blender with a few cups of water. Blend like mad, then strain it through a fine mesh strainer. And if you are currently in the chilly climate of Canada, add some vitamin D and enjoy! I also like adding a bit of Reishi tincture from @stfrancisherbfarm for immune system support, but honestly, you could even start a juice journey with just some carrot and celery if you're new to this! Use a juicer if you have one, and if not, just use your trusty old blender! 🌿🥕 🍄 [See my highlights on how to do it!] Don't overthink it! Just get those veggies down the hatch! ;)
Do you juice at home? If so, what are your favourite ingredients or blends? .

FUN FACT: Orgasms support adrenal health. 👏
.
We touched on what adrenal fatigue is a few posts back, but let me give you a list of some of the common symptoms one more time:
.
〰️ A demanding schedule or demanding home life
〰️ Craving salty foods
〰️ Brain fog/easily fatigued
〰️ Difficulty falling/staying asleep
〰️ Headache after working out
〰️ Anxiety/depression
〰️ Recurring infections
〰️ Always thirsty
〰️ Neck pain 〰️ Low libido 〰️ A feeling of needing caffeine
〰️ Night owls
〰️ Pushing yourself
〰️ Putting yourself before your spouse/kids/work.
.
Adrenal fatigue is something I see SO often in my practice - ESPECIALLY in women. I believe this is because we often multitask and put others before ourselves. Self-care ends up on the backburner and our poor little adrenal glands have a hard time keeping our stress hormones in check. This results in exhaustion, brain fog, and so much more. One way to quickly flush cortisol (stress hormone) from the body and give the adrenals a boost? Have an orgasm. .
You might read this and think, "Ooookay, Michelle has gone mad," but hear me out: Would you rather me recommend a pill for adrenal issues, or tell you to go have an orgasm to achieve the same effect (without all the side effects)? Yes friends, natural therapies all the way!

You're welcome ladies. YOU'RE. WELCOME. .

7 THINGS THAT NO MATURE WOMAN GIVES A F*CK ABOUT
.
1. WHAT SHE WEARS
The clothes that she wears are her own damn business. She doesn’t care about fashion trends or wearing what everyone else does. She wears what’s comfortable for her and what suits her style.
.
2. WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HER
If other people think poorly of her, that’s their opinion and they're entitled to that. She doesn’t have time for gossip or for worrying about other people’s opinions. It’s like the celebrities always say, “haters gonna hate.”
.
3. BEING POLITE TO THOSE WHO DON'T DESERVE HER ENERGY
She never wastes her energy on rude or disrespectful people. When this kind of energy comes into her space, she follows the BLESS and RELEASE thought pattern. Dealing with the stress of rude people is not worth her time or effort.
.
4. HAVING THE "PERFECT" BODY
Let’s say it, right here, right now – there is no such thing as the perfect body. A powerful, mature woman knows that. She doesn’t strive to look the way society tells her to look. All she wants to do is feel comfortable in her own skin, and whatever that may look like for her is what matters.
.
5. HER SEX LIFE
Yes, she has a sex life. No, she doesn’t care what you think about it. She can sleep with as many or as few people as she likes and that’s her business. She’s an adult and she can make these decisions for herself.
.
6. FITTING IN
This is not high school, and she doesn’t need to make everyone like her. There’s no reason that she should conform to society’s standards just to fit in. If people like her for who she is, that’s great. If they don’t, then they can carry on their merry way.
.
7. NOT GIVING A F*CK
Above all, a mature woman does not care about not giving a f*ck. She won’t apologize for who she is to anyone. The only things she cares about are the things that TRULY matter, and she’s not going to change that.

Hi, I'm Michelle and I survived chronic adrenal fatigue. 🙈
•
FACT: Women's brains are ACTUALLY wired differently than men. One is not superior to another, we are simply different. Men are left-brain, "get to the point" type thinkers, but a woman's brain tends to have a thicker, stronger connection between the right and left hemispheres. Men tend to work on a single task really well, while we feel the need to juggle 10 things. 🤹♀️ We evolved this way because historically we have always been multitaskers. "Bouncing a baby on one hip while stirring a big pot of soup and kicking the wooly mammoth out the door with one foot," as @drchristianenorthrup so eloquently put it in her book, "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom." •
It's true - We have evolved in a way that enables us to step back and look at the WHOLE picture. We can have a busy day at work and still manage to remember to pay the phone bill on our lunch break and pick up eggs before the kids' soccer tournament. In short, we do A LOT of things, a lot of the time. 💆
•
Because of how we're wired, we also tend to take on FAR too much. More than those poor adrenal glands can keep up with! We feel tremendous responsibility (which often manifests as neck pain LITERALLY feeling the weight of the world on our shoulders) and so we tend push ourselves to the limit. For this reason, a tremendous number of my female clients come to me with common symptoms of adrenal burnout.
•
Common signs include:
〰️ A demanding schedule or demanding home life
〰️ Craving salty foods
〰️ Brain fog/easily fatigued
〰️ Difficulty falling/staying asleep
〰️ Headache after working out
〰️ Anxiety/depression
〰️ Recurring infections
〰️ Always thirsty
〰️ Neck pain 〰️ A feeling of needing caffeine
〰️ Night owls
〰️ Pushing yourself
〰️ Putting yourself before your spouse/kids.

Does this sound like you? 🤔
Thankfully there are many things that can be done to find balance again. Yes - Even if your life is busy! We can do SO much to love on those adrenals, but it first it takes a commitment from YOU in getting there. 💜🌱](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a54e77f32601edde754ce01/5a54ff7fe45a7c15fec872c8/5bdc4da856535d3c1072adaf/1541164464362/)
![🌔 WOMEN ARE SACRED [PT4] Why are women most responsible for birth control? 🌖
.
Why are so many women frustrated with the state of contraception today? Why is the vast majority of birth control designed for women to use, even though it is men who are fertile every single day? Wouldn’t it make more sense for birth control to be developed for the gender that is the most fertile? Consider the following:
.
METHODS OF BIRTH CONTROL FOR WOMEN:
Tubal ligation
Essure
IUD (intrauterine device)
Implanon
Depo-Provera Injection
Hormonal Birth Control
Nuvaring
The Patch
Diaphragm
Female Condom
Cervical Cap
Sponge
Suppositories
Spermicides
Films, foams and jellies
Natural methods (Fertility awareness method)
.
METHODS OF BIRTH CONTROL FOR MEN:
Vasectomy
Condom
Withdrawal
.
Given that women are fertile only a few days per cycle, it’s ironic that they’re the ones who risk a vast array of side effects and physical ramifications of birth control. These include increased risk of blood clots, stroke, breast cancer, irregular spotting, severe pelvic inflammatory disease or uterine perforation, heavy, crampy periods, urinary tract infections, cervical inflammation, and allergic reactions to spermicides and latex, to name just a few. And for what? To protect themselves from someone who produces millions of sperm per hour, every single day! 🤔
What are your thoughts on this? [From the book: Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler]

YOUR PAIN IS VALID. 💜⠀
.⠀
I’ll never forget the day I walked into my doctor’s office carrying my six month old baby, desperately ill and afraid that I was dealing with something serious.⠀
.⠀
“You’re a new mom! Of course you’re exhausted!”⠀
.⠀
3 months later, my organs began going septic. I had been missed and dismissed by our conventional medical system, and my very real and terrifying concerns were chalked up to anxiety and postpartum exhaustion.⠀
.⠀
My sisters, if your health concerns have ever been dismissed, I want you to hear me loud and clear: I BELIEVE YOU. Never allow your concerns to be dismissed, because nobody knows your body better than you.⠀
