Attention, brilliant minds! 🎓 As perimenopause rolls in, it might amplify ADHD symptoms due to hormonal fluctuations. This leads to increased forgetfulness and focus issues, making everyday tasks feel monumental. ⚖️

*Pro Tip:* Implement the Pomodoro Technique. 🍅

⏲️Plan My Day: I start by mapping out my tasks and allocating 🍅s (25-minute intervals) to each one
⏲️Short Breaks: After each 🍅, I take a 5-minute break to recharge
⏲️Long Breaks: After every 4 🍅s, I reward myself with a 30-minute break — whether it’s a quick walk or playtime with my dog Daisy 🐶🚶‍♀️

Give it a try and see how it boosts your productivity! 💪✨

Kickstart your day with a savoury breakfast for balanced energy and a stable mood! 🌞🥑

Choosing savoury over sweet can help:

📊Regulate Cortisol Levels: A savoury breakfast can keep stress hormones in check, promoting a calmer start to your day
📈Avoid Sugar Spikes: Savoury options are less likely to cause the blood sugar crashes associated with sugary breakfasts, helping to keep your energy levels steady

Save this for an easy breakfast inspiration 💪🍳

A friend recently asked if my younger self would be proud of who I’ve become. And it got me thinking…

When I was 12, I loved taking care of people and animals, always trying to help them feel their best. I was passionate about medicine and traditional healing. I even asked for encyclopedias and books on health for Christmas! 🎄📚

Today, I am proud to say that I pursued my passion and aligned my career with my values. My 12-year-old self is so happy!

Take a moment to ask yourself: would your inner 12-year-old approve? 💖 Do you need to make changes to honour ‘little you’?

I’d love to hear your story.

Perimenopause and Menopause:

Hot flashes, mood swings, brain fog, sleepless nights, oh my! 🥵 It’s like puberty’s revenge tour but with fewer band posters and more multitasking magic 🪄

Let’s be real for a second—the medical system hasn’t exactly showered us with support during this transition. 😥 Often, it feels like navigating a labyrinth with only a flickering flashlight. But fear not! There are ways to ease the overwhelm.

Here are my top 10 Perimenopause Supports!

1. *Black Cohosh:* A cool customer helps manage hot flashes and night sweats.
2. *Maca:* Nature’s energy supplement, boosts mood, energy, and libido.
3. *St John’s Wort:* The herbal cheerleader, helps with mood swings and depression.
4. *Rhapontic Rhubarb:* The calm blend, keeps hormonal fluctuations from taking over. Great for night sweats.
5. *Taurine:* Your sleep’s best friend, improves rest and even mood.
6. *Magnesium:* The relaxation expert, eases anxiety and muscle cramps.
7. *Omega 3:* Brain and heart protector, keeps clarity and cardiovascular health on point.
8. *Berberine:* The sugar controller, balances blood glucose levels which can improve hot flushes
9. *HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy):* The all-rounder, tackles a variety of menopause symptoms head-on for the right candidate.
10. *GABA:* The tranquilizer, soothes anxiety and promotes calmness.

🌙✨Rest isn’t just about sleep—it’s about giving your brain a break. Whether it’s catching up on your favourite show or diving into a good book, me-time is essential for recharge and rejuvenation!

Here’s some of my me-time favourites:
📺Watching: Bridgerton
📚Reading: Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

🌿Here are some hidden benefits:

1. *Boost Creativity:* New ideas can spark from shows. 💡
2. *Expand Vocabulary:* Exposure to complex dialogues enhances language skills. 📚
3. *Cultural Insight:* Experience diverse customs and perspectives. 🌍
4. *Pure Entertainment:* Joy and escapism enrich our lives. 😍

Creating a little space for rest is as important as all other health pillars (in moderation). Plus, who doesn’t love a little Shondaland 📺📖💆‍♀️
