Hormone ambassadors needed!!

It’s time we stopped making ‘being hormonal’ a female thing, and started accepting that the more we can tune into our hormones, and how they ebb and flow or even peak and plummet, the more we can tap in to when this is helpful for the things we want to do and achieve. And when it’s not, we can explore and find effective, natural strategies to help us work with our hormones rather than against them.

The power of the words we use

Using the right language when we are talking about lots of the topics that are important for female health and performance is so important. Yes, it might be embarrassing at first and you might not know all the right words. But if we don’t try, then we won’t be able to empower and educate girls and women, and they won’t be able to advocate for their own health and wellbeing. It’s time to say it right.
