Quarantini, anyone?
Sales are up. Reported consumption is up. Stress levels are up. Loneliness is up. Boredom is up. Therefore, are occasions that call for a drink up as well? All signs point to YEP for the above. And when you add to that - within this pandemic environment there...
P is for Pandemic
Here we are at the letter P. I was going to write about Perimenopause but given how the world has turned, perhaps taking a break from straight up hormone talk and looking at the most pressing issues related to the current global health situation is more relevant. ...
O is for Organic – But Does it Really Matter?
The short answer? Yes. Yes, it really does matter. To our overall health and to our hormonal health. Which is why I’ve opened this controversial can of worms as part of the ABCs of Healthy Hormones series, and risked the wrath of opponents and deniers. Look -...

We’re onto week 9 of our Healthy Hormones Series! Here is a quick summary of what we’ve covered already (and if you want to catch up, go ahead and follow the links): A for Adrenal (Fatigue) B for Basal Body Temperature Tracking C for Controlling Cortisol D for...
Are you spinning on your HPA axis?
When it comes to talking about and understanding how the body works, sometimes using a simple analogy can help. This is especially true when we look at the intricate choreography of hormones. Let’s try this to get a handle on our subject of the day – H is for the...
