We have all started somewhere and this is your somewhere. Whether you found us through a Facebook ad, a friend, or just a feeling that something needed to change, you are here now and that matters. Take a moment and introduce yourself below. Tell us: - Your name and where you are from or - What made you finally say yes to this or - And your favourite thing to eat right now, healthy or not, no judgement here 😄 There are women in this community at every stage of the journey. Some are on Day 1, some have been here a while. All of them started exactly where you are standing right now. Very good starting point is the "7 Day Energy Boost" because we all need good energy to get going physically and mentally. With better energy everything else feel less effort :) Say hi. You might just make someone's day. Kelli

We are here to help women understand their bodies better and learn how to support themselves. Part of that journey is becoming more aware, tuning in, and listening to the signs your body is giving you. Don’t ignore them. Work with your body, not against it. Be a team. Dehydration isn’t always obvious. You don’t have to feel extremely thirsty to be dehydrated. Some of the signs can be quite subtle, so it’s worth paying attention to what your body is telling you. Common signs of dehydration can include: - Feeling thirsty or having a dry mouth - Dry, tight or less elastic skin - Headaches - Feeling tired, flat or low in energy - Brain fog or difficulty concentrating - Dizziness or feeling light-headed - Dark yellow urine or urinating less often - Constipation or harder stools - Feeling hungry when you may actually be thirsty - Muscle cramps or weakness - Feeling overheated more easily - Bad breath - Dry lips, dry eyes, dull hair - Feeling your heart beating faster than usual, especially when you’re hot or active And remember, your fluid needs can increase with exercise, hot weather, sweating, travel, illness and alcohol. One simple habit I encourage is to keep water with you throughout the day rather than waiting until you feel very thirsty. Your body is constantly giving you signals. Learning to recognise them is an important part of looking after your health. So tell me honestly, how much water do you drink lately? I admit, I have to constantly remind myself.

Believe it or not, in today's world, food can make us sick. We can react to it, and I want to help you understand if this is the case with you too or not. So today I am talking about histamine intolerance. Histamine is a natural chemical that our body makes and that is also found in certain foods. It plays an important role in our immune system, digestion and allergic reactions. Normally, our body breaks histamine down and gets rid of it, but for some people, this process doesn't work as efficiently, and histamine can build up and contribute to different health symptoms. Here are some of the most common symptoms of histamine intolerance. Please note, this list is not to diagnose, but to give you some insight. If needed, you can look more deeply into it so you can help yourself. Most common histamine symptoms: - Headaches or migraines - Bloating or digestive discomfort - Itchy skin, rashes, flushing or hives - Nasal congestion or sneezing - Feeling wired, restless or having trouble sleeping - Unexplained fatigue or brain fog - Skin breakouts - Reactions to certain foods, alcohol or leftovers The most common way to address histamine intolerance is by looking at the foods we eat and making some adjustments. This can mean reducing some of the foods that are naturally higher in histamine, being careful with fermented and aged foods (like cheeses), alcohol, cured meats and other items, and paying attention to how we store our food. Often, simply reducing the overall histamine load and making a few simple swaps can be enough to see if it makes a difference. Usually, it is not necessary to cut out every food on a “high histamine” list. In fact, I don't recommend becoming obsessed with avoiding individual foods. Sometimes simply reducing the overall histamine load and making a few simple swaps can make a noticeable difference. Now, if you ticked off many of the above symptoms, it is possible that you have an issue with histamine, and I would usually recommend adjusting your eating for 2–4 weeks to see if reducing your histamine intake makes a difference to your symptoms.
