Q&A

• How can understanding the menstrual cycle enhance relationships? 💡

  Understanding menstrual cycles can improve communication and relationships by allowing partners to align their activities and interactions with the various phases of the cycle. This awareness helps in anticipating mood changes and supporting each other more effectively.

• What is the connection between skin health and gut health? 🌱

  The skin microbiome is intricately linked to gut health, influencing overall hormonal health. Toxic products used on the skin can negatively impact both the gut and brain health, potentially leading to issues like Alzheimer's. Using natural skin care products can improve overall well-being, including sleep and mood stability.

• How does stress affect women's health? 😟

  High cortisol levels due to stress negatively impact progesterone, which can lead to weight gain and increased anxiety. Adjusting exercise and diet can help restore menstrual cycles disrupted by stress. Fasting can also help in managing stress-related health concerns by inducing autophagy.

• What role do plastics play in health issues? 🚫

  Plastics contain chemicals known as obesogens, which can influence insulin resistance, leading to weight gain and illness. Research indicates that exposure to BPA (a common plastic additive) can contribute to weight gain, even when diets remain the same. Reducing the use of plastic products can support better health.

• Why is detoxing important for health? 🧘‍♀️

  Detoxing is essential as accumulated toxins in the body can lead to diseases, low energy, and weight gain. Natural detox systems like the liver, gut, skin, and lymph play vital roles in removing harmful substances. Factors such as poor lifestyle choices can impair these systems, leading to the reabsorption of toxins.

• What is gut reset fasting and its benefits? 🥦

  Gut reset fasting typically lasts 24 hours and is designed to heal gut damage caused by various factors. This fasting method promotes the repair of the gut lining, encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria, and can lead to improved digestion and overall gut health.

• How does fasting affect hormone health? ⚖️

  Fasting positively influences hormone production, notably increasing testosterone levels in men by up to 1,300%. Women can enhance their energy and mood by syncing their fasting routines with their menstrual cycles. Autophagy during fasting supports gut repair, which also contributes to improved digestion and hormone balance.
