Hi all, I'm just not succeeding in life atm. Ive been sick with gastro. While feeling better I'm still recovering so tonight's masterclass on the nervous system will be cancelled for a couple of weeks. Apologies for this.

Hey there, This Thursday, 7pm I will run a 45 minute session about the vagus nerve with very simple hacks you can do at home to regulate your nervous system. Most women in midlife are living in constant fight or flight. Health just quite simply cannot be achieved without regulation of the nervous system. It is the hierarchy of health. Jump on to understand why and what you can do to support yourself.

Who here is Canberra based and is keen to understand menopause a bit more deeply to better support health and to reduce symptoms? I received a grant to run two 'Menopause Made Simple' workshops, one on the northside and one on the southside. The southside workshop will be held at Weston Creek community centre, at 1.30pm on Saturday24 October and the second workshop will be held on Saturday 31st October , 1.30pm at Gungahlin Community Centre. Both run for 1.5 hours and I will cover movement, nutrition and lifestyle strategies. Its a free event with light refreshments provided. Let me know below in the chat if your keen to join and I will send you the link.

Think of the lymphatic system as similar to a fish tank. When the water is clean, its a healthy environment, the fish are happy. When its stagnant, the water is green, its smells, its toxic. This is similar to our lymphatic system! Our lymphatic system helps to move waste through through the body, it is a big part of our immune system. Estrogen helps with fluid balance in the body so when estrogen declines our lymphatic system is compromised. Here are 7 signs that your system is sluggish... 1) Brain Fog - Trouble focusing and mental cloudiness due to slower waste removal 2)Frequent infections - Taking longer to bounce back. Repeated illness 3)Digestive bloating - linked to lymph stagnation in the abdomen 4)Skin changes and cellulite - A dull uneven skin complextion and cellulite caused by localised fluid stagnation 5) Joint stiffness - Especially in the morning 6) Persistent fatigue - A deep lingering tiredness 7) Slow healing - Delayed recovery following minor injuries, workouts or surgical procedures. So what can you do to support your lymphatic system? Heaps! Move it mainly, but here's a list... Stay really well hydrated Daily dry brushing the body, stroking towards the heart Exercise regularly Take hot and cold showers Elevate your legs Practice deep breathing Try rebounding, bouncing gently (If the pelvic floor allows) Have a sauna to promote sweating Get a lymphatic massage Wear loose fitting clothing Eat anti inflammatory foods Hope you all find this helpful! :)

Hi all, I would absolutely love to create a menopause community in Skool for learning, sharing and connection. I decided when i began that I would like to run a weekly menopause masterclass for learning and a weekly chinwag for chatting and connection but it became apparent pretty quickly that this was a too big commitment for midlife women to rock up to weekly, I should have known this, ha! So I'm rejigging my approach. I will be putting up, small mini courses and a fortnightly masterclass that will run for 30 minutes. The menopause chinwag will be spontaneous every now and then. Please let me know in the chat any ideas on what you would like as part of the community also. All ideas are welcomed.
