Hormones Suck

2/28/2018

After having kids my hormones have been super out of whack.

I slept poorly (even long after my kids were sleeping through the night), & I had painful periods.

(What a weird word, "period," but I have to admit even though every woman menstruates, I still find talking about it "publicly" is a bit awkward...and when I'm with friends I'm either crass or ridiculously casual!!! Kinda like when I go to my lady parts doc and I wanna say "My puss has been feelin' this." Or "My twat has been doing that." but DUDE, I can't say "PUSS" or "TWAT" to my DOCTOR!!!! SO then I feel obliged to say vagina, which I NEVER use in my regular life, and it's all just so awkward.) 

Anyway... It got my thinking about hormones and the role they play in so many people's lives. I love to say that hormones make most of the decisions, and hormones always win.

This is true. Hormones are often why we can't resist sugar/fat/salt. Crazy but true. Stress and junk food both send our hormones on their own little rollercoaster and both end up with cravings that we literally can't resist. That's why willpower has nothing to do with weight loss. Which is why you should
take my quiz and find out who is actual culprit! 

I am SO grateful I got some amazing help from a naturopath and an herbal remedy that has basically resolved my hormone issues! Yes, sweet sweet sleep is my friend again (for the most part... I still get interrupted more than I like and have hard time going back to sleep after my child asks me to hold his tissue while he blows his nose at 2am... but at least I don't wane up randomly anymore).

But I know that for many women I meet and clients I work with, hormones play a role... and more often than not it is stress hormones.

🤣
I’m dying! I agree, it’s so unnatural to refer to our lady parts as “Vagina”

I love being a woman but man, it takes many years to learn how to conquer hormones and not let them run our lives😘
