5 things that all women should know

If you've been following me for a while, you would have figured out that I really have a bee in my bonnet when it comes to health knowledge and female empowerment. I love being a clinical naturopath and helping women find natural solutions to their health concerns, however, it pains me to see that for so many, the journey that led them to me also included...

• Being dismissed by medical professionals 

• The belief that hormone symptoms are normal and just part of being female

• Feeling unsupported, confused, angry, sad and at a loss

So I spent some time this week to reflect on what I thought were REALLY important messages to share...

5 THINGS THAT ALL WOMEN NEED TO KNOW

1️⃣ Symptoms are signs from the body that something isn't right - be sure to listen and act on these whispers before they become a scream!

2️⃣ You know your body best, so don't let anybody tell you that everything is fine, if you don't feel fine. It is okay to get a second or third opinion. 

3️⃣ A diagnosis is not a root cause. Dig deeper and find your root cause and don't just settle for a 'label'. 

4️⃣ Good health is attributed to what you put in but also what you put on and surround your body with. All aspects of our health, particularly hormone health, is impacted by this. Consider environmental toxin exposure and the products you use for cleaning, skincare, makeup, hair etc 

5️⃣ Education is empowerment. Keep reading, continue learning and find female role models to follow that inspire you. 

What else do YOU think that all women NEED to know?

I would love to know your thoughts.
