Scheduled me time. A time where I can sit down by myself and put away all of my distractions. I focus on what brings me peace and helps me to feel calm. Most of the time I’m praying and reflecting about things I’m grateful for and tasks I’m struggling with. Somehow, I come away feeling refreshed and I gain a fresh perspective on how to handle my challenges. These are a few of the many reasons why scheduled me-time is so important to me. Notice how I write “scheduled”; despite how helpful these moments are, I need to force myself to do it. If you’re a busy bee like me, it’s so easy to push your self-care further and further back on your to-do list. Recently I needed the reminder to start having consistent me-time again, and I wanted to encourage you to do the same. Or if you’re already doing this, keep it up, I’m so proud of you!

Ignatia amara homeopathic. For the currently tearful, sad, and melancholic. For those who suffered shock, grief, or disappointment. For those who are sensitive, quick to perceive, and rapidly execute tasks. For those who’ve been driven to hysteria or heartbreak. I feel you. While the sun sets on this time in your life, remember that another door is opening. Trust that you can let this go and something more special will fall into your hands.

80% of women experience some form of PMS and 50% of women who have their period/menstrual have pain each month, this is called dysmenorrhea. It’s important to distinguish if you have primary or secondary dysmenorrhea.
Primary dysmenorrhea is likely when you started to experience menstrual pain 6-12 months after your first ever menstrual cycle, it can be managed with an OTC painkiller, and your blood work is usually normal.
Secondary dysmenorrhea is likely when your menstrual cramps started at least 2 years after your first period, cannot be well-managed with medication or birth control pills, and your blood work may come back abnormal.
Management for each type is different, and it’s important that you investigate the underlying causes. There are conditions that may lead to poor sleep, weight gain, anemia, and infertility. Talk with a professional and prioritize your health!

I’m so excited to see more and more studies on the microbiome. Our body contains TRILLIONS of bacteria, outnumbering the number of our own human cells! Is there any question that these bacteria have a huge impact on our health, not only physically, but mentally as well? While we’re just scratching the surface of all this new information, it really speaks to how important our gut and nutrition is.
