Summer Beet Salad for Liver Support

June 13, 2018 at 3:33 pm

The liver plays a crucial role in hormone balance. A liver that is functioning well, will both manufacture and metabolize hormones. It is the ultimate detoxifier, filtering everything we put into our bodies from food, liquids, alcohol to even what we breathe in and absorb in our skin.  The liver breaks down excess hormones such as estrogen (preventing estrogen dominance) as well as testosterone, (preventing high levels that contribute to issues like PCOS). It does this by creating…

May 2, 2018 at 10:43 am

  The key to hormone balance is in your digestion.   Blemishes, rashes, stomach cramping, irritable bowel syndrome, foggy thinking… These are just a few symptoms of what inflammation, poor absorption, and food sensitivities can create. …which eventually results in imbalances with the thyroid and sex hormones: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone… …causing menopause issues, headaches, painful periods, and high estrogen related issues like endometriosis, fibroids, and PCOS…   My Chai Concentrate has anti-inflammatory herbs and warming digestion boosting spices that increase…

  Ever wonder why you and many women bleed on the new or full moon?

Yoni Egg: Magick of Manifestation

December 28, 2017 at 11:44 am

Sensuality. Connection. Shakti ACTIVATION. Manifestation.   These are the words that immediately flow into my consciousness when I think about what this exquisite feminine practice has done for me.   This practice has been around for millennia. In ancient China, women used the practice of inserting an egg shaped crystal made out of Jade into their yoni, the Sanskrit word for vagina that I find super juicy to use as part of my vocabulary.   Quite commonly known,…

Chai Chocolate Macaroons

December 13, 2017 at 6:05 pm

When at home in our routines, it may be easier to find our grooves with eating balanced meal plans.  Yet, traveling and gathering with family and friends for big holiday meals that include decadent desserts, extra cocktails, and hors d’oeurvres, can throw off those routines and cause a bit of havoc on the gut-microbiota from additional sugars and carbohydrates that break down quickly  (think cakes, stuffing, and mashed potatoes from white potatoes). After the holidays are over, we…

Sweet Potato Mash for Menopause: Reduce Dryness & Weight Gain

November 19, 2017 at 10:48 am

Menopause, or “Moonpause” as I like to call it, is an experience of great hormonal change, requiring specific nutrients to support changes in sex hormones. Two common symptoms of moonpause that women experience are vaginal dryness and weight gain, particularly around the middle. Moonpausal changes as well as society’s negative imprints of “losing your youth” can cause negative feelings toward this sacred change, which is truly a “Rights of Passage.” “Like pregnancy and childbirth, menopause is a time…

Aphrodisiac Tonic with Lemongrass

October 16, 2017 at 2:22 pm

After 5 years of birth control contraceptive use, I realized my libido was absent… a symptom that many women end up experiencing from long-term birth control use. The birth control contraceptive can increase the production of Sex-Hormone Binding Globulin levels (a protein in your liver that binds to sex hormones like testosterone) which can lead to lower testosterone levels and eventually, low libido. The pill can actually change genetic expression within the liver to create more SHBG. Furthermore,…

Top Five Foods that Decrease Menstrual Cramps

September 27, 2017 at 9:10 am

Severe period pain, or dysmenorrhea, that causes you to cancel work, lie in bed all day, or prevents you from doing your normal daily goddess activities is NOT normal. I reflect back to the days I was in college when I used to experience these pains. My diet was made up of typical dorm food: lots of pizza, sub sandwiches, bagels for breakfast, bags of chips with trans-fat, lots and lots of sugary cookies, too much beer and…

Fertility is sensual and playful… and if you are trying to boost your fertility, why not add some playfulness into your kitchen?
