THIS!!!!😍 This post here is based off of my FAVOURITE world renowned menopause doctor, OB-GYN, and woman's doctor.... "If I woke up fully menopausal overnight, this is what I would do to protect my long term health"..... And i couldn't agree more! 🙌🏽 This is not based off of trends or guesswork. Its based on evidence, data and her 25 years as a woman's health doctor.💖 (also note..i ONLY post things i can back up and prove with research, studies , data, and my studies in becoming a certified menopause specialist) First off... GET INFORMED!! Menopause isn't something to tough out. It's something to strategically manage for you bones, your brain, your heart and metabolism!! Your body deserves support and you DESERVE to be listened to and not pushed away, told its "probably just depression", "you're too young", or that you're "overreacting", and "it's all in your head". Second, get your labs and screenings updated. DEMAND it if you have to!! Choose a doctor of clinician who UNDERSTANDS perimenopause and menopause. Did you know that typically doctors only get approximately 5 hours of training in alllllll their years in medical school and residency training on menopause??! FIVE HOURS!! 🤯 That is mindblowing😩 Even OB-GYN programs don't often offer a structured menopause curriculum. This makes me sad.....and THIS is why i am so passionate about learning ALL and EVERYTHING I can to help other women know what they deserve for their health in this time of life.❤️‍🩹 Talk to said experienced doctor about hormone therapy options if you are a candidate to do so. HRT has been a GAME CHANGER for me and many women I know.😍 Go in prepared with detailed information about your symptoms and your health history, (along with your family health history) so that your doctor can decide if you are a candidate to start it. 🏋️‍♀️Next- PICK UP THOSE WEIGHTS!!🏋️‍♀️ The benefits of strength training , especially for women in menopause is essential for everything from keeping your bones strong and stronger bone density, keeping your muscles strong to counteract age related muscle loss, your balance - so that you don't succumb to a nasty fall, better weight management, and SIGNIFICANTLY reduces risks of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease and strokes!🤯 It will also improve your mood and your sleeps by reducing anxiety - and it can even help with the severity of those horrible hot flashes!!!❤️‍🔥

Ingredients - 1 cup grass-fed beef tallow (melted) - 1/4 cup organic (fair trade always💗) cocoa butter - 1/4 cup jojoba oil - Optional: 10–20 drops of essential oils (e.g., lavender, vanilla, peppermint, rose, frankincense) Equipment - Small pot or double boiler - Airtight glass jars for storage - Electric mixer Instructions 1. Melt the solid ingredients: Combine the beef tallow and cocoa butter in a small pot or double boiler over low heat. Gently warm until just melted to avoid overheating the ingredients. 2. Add liquid oil: Once the tallow and cocoa butter are liquefied, remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the jojoba oil. 3. Cool and solidify: Pour the mixture into a glass or metal container and allow it to cool and solidify in the refrigerator or freezer until it is no longer translucent but not completely hard (around 15-30 minutes). 4. Once cooled to a soft, solid consistency, use an electric mixer to whip the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. 5. Add optional essential oils, you'll probably want to as the beef tallow smells kinda nas-tayyyy, 🤢. The cocao butter definitely makes the smell way yummier though!😍 6. Transfer the finished lotion into airtight glass jars for storage.  The lotion can be stored at room temperature for 3-6 months. Refrigeration can extend the shelf life to over a year!!

😵Did you know that it's super common for our thyroid function to fluctuate as we age? Perimenopause symptoms and thyroid conditions can cause a lot of the same crappy feelings! This can definitely make it super confusing to navigate what the heck is going on in your body (and mind!!😫) Listen here and I'll fill you in a little bit💗

What you feed your body is SO much more than just food. 📺The things you watch on the television, (Watch the news all the time? That's most likely setting you up for anxiety as it's mainly negativity) 🧑‍🤝‍🧑The people you surround yourself with daily... are they supportive ? Are they a positive impact on your life? Do they make you feel good , or bad about yourself? Do they have good values? Sometimes, even though it can be SO hard- you just have to separate yourself from friends and family that bring you down or give you negative vibes. 🎶The music you listen to...does it make you smile with good feelings and nostalgic memories? Does it make you wanna shake yer ass and dance?😍💃🏻 Or does it make you feel aggressive, sad, or angry? Your diet is not only what you eat....it's what you read, the people you hang around - the things you watch and listen to. Feed your mind AND body well, and with your life change for the better😍
