Episode 110: Don’t Fall for the Perimenopause Trap

I first met Laurel six years ago when she found me through a Facebook post and scheduled our call. Laurel had received a depressing prognosis and was in a debilitated state due to injuries she suffered in a car accident.  But she refused to accept that healing was impossible for her. Her decision to get on a call with me and join Fiercely Empowered Mama changed everything.  And that first step she took made the impossible, possible. The many wins Laurel has had in her health over the past six years are nothing short of profound. She’s now a mom of two boys and has grown immense confidence in raising her little ones using only natural remedies.  She’s committed to nourishment. She muscle tests mini-programs for herself and family members to support them through various symptoms/communications. Join us in this episode as we talk about Laurel's story, the results of her first hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA), and what she wishes for any woman who’s struggling and wants more choice when it comes to taking control of the outcomes for herself and her family.   You're Invited to Mamahood: The Ultimate Natural Mama Crash Course I am so excited to invite you to my free pop-up Facebook group, Mamahood: The Ultimate Natural Mama Crash Course.

Here’s what we’re told: When you turn a certain age (hello, 40s), the majority of women are going to experience the symptoms of perimenopause. In other words, it’s normal and potentially inevitable that you’ll go through a roller coaster ride of hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, weight gain, changes in sex drive, vaginal dryness, thinning hair and dry skin, mood swings, heart palpitations, migraines, frequent headaches and poorer concentration. And you’ll ultimately be at a higher risk for other dis-eases and complications. Surprise! I don’t agree with this at all. Yes, the symptoms are real, but the thing that's causing them isn’t what you think it is. In today’s episode, I share with you: The allopathic perspective on perimenopause. Symptoms of adrenal dysfunction. The overlap between perimenopausal symptoms and thyroid communication. The copper toxicity connection. And the emotional and mineral connection. Ultimately, I invite you to opt out of the belief that there’s nothing you can do except “ride it out.” All of the symptoms you experience from your body are communication and asks for help. You do not have to live your life with fear of perimenopause symptoms or hopelessness about the healing process. The way back to feeling like yourself again is always going to be with balancing minerals and riding toxicity. Your age is not the deciding factor for how you experience your health.   What if you could radically shift your health and change your future? This is the work we do inside of the Cleansing Circle.

You may already know that parasites exist all around us. Every single person has them. What you may not know is how much they're affecting your body and your mind.

I share with you: The big symptom I experienced recently that was 100% related to parasites. The numerous symptoms of parasites. (So many of these are likely to surprise you!) What the full moon has to do with parasites. Why we may feel more emotional during the full moon.  How to know if the parasites are taking over inside your body.
