I am passionate about health and nutrition.

Recently I suffered with iron deficiency anaemia with pain and very heavy periods, diagnosed with endometriosis hyperplasia plus a cyst on my right ovary. I found that switching my diet from plant based to more meat, salad, fruit and full fat foods has changed my life completely.

I also started using the supplement Ashwagandha and Shilajit to help with hormone balancing as I am 43 and peri menopausal.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha contains chemicals that might help calm the brain, reduce swelling, lower blood pressure, and alter the immune system. Since Ashwagandha is traditionally used as an adaptogen, it is used for many conditions related to stress.

Adaptogens

Adaptogens are believed to help the body resist physical and mental stress. Shilajit, also called mineral pitch, contains fulvic acid and many other minerals. There are numerous possible benefits of Shilajit. Taking it as a powder or supplement may help boost brain function, slow the aging process, increase fertility, and more.

At the same time I started also using bio identical creams to boost my hormones; the progesterone cream is from Wiieey infused with MSM, Vitex, Dong Quai, aloe, coconut oil and shea butter and the estrogen cream is from Eelhoe infused with ginseng, green tea, black cohosh and red clover. Through a psychic medium we established my hormone levels were playing a major part in my menopausal symptoms and now I live a pain free life with less suffering and more living once again. I am studying a nutrition degree and feel more women need to know these things to help them along the way.

The doctors are great at their jobs but there is little nutritional training so women can find an alternative more natural way of living a fuller life or use hormone replacement with more awareness about the amounts and origins of ingredients. Before I had children I used agnus castus frequently as a hormone balancer and I found it very useful so that is another herb worth investigating along with wild yam that helps your body produce more natural progesterone in our bodies.

I hope that even if my story helps one woman out there then I have done my job!

Much love, Kate x
