- [Taurine – The “LBD” of Women’s Health](https://katepowe.com/taurine-the-lbd-of-womens-health/): Taurine has appeared in my periphery everywhere this month and after stopping to take a deeper look, it really has become my new favourite "Little Black Dress" when it comes to targeted health for women.
- [Perimenopause Mayhem | Stress, Mood, Sleep](https://katepowe.com/perimenopause-mayhem/): Back in my student days, I recall only two seminars that have really stuck with me to this day. One was seeing the genius women’s health advocate Ruth Trickey talk all things women’s endocrinology which blew my mind and forged my resolve to work in women’s health. The other, bizarrely, was one on perimenopause and menopausal endocrinology.

- [Women Should Know Their Place](https://katepowe.com/modern-day-feminist-know-your-place/): I have friends who have been all over the modern day feminist forefront for years. Take my school friend Paula – an inspiring drama teacher, gender equality activist, high school presenter/speaker, mum to 2 girls and women’s empowerment advocate at the helm of Questions for You, whose campaign to boycott Brisbane-based Wicked Campers and their sexist and perversely degrading graffiti-covered camper vans hit mainstream media, from the Triple J Hack program, The Project and Cosmopolitan Magazine all the way to The Senate.
- [Natural PCOS Treatment | Alternatives to Metformin and the OCP](https://katepowe.com/natural-pcos-treatment/): It's funny how some assume drugs are stronger, better, more awesome than some woosy "natural" medicine. But thanks to research, there’s some great news on the PCOS treatment front using natural medicine – equal if not better efficacy than generally prescribed medications with the added bonus of fewer side effects.

Or so it seems. Head to your kitchen and you could knock up some top line immune boosting remedies straight from your pantry:
- [My Endometriosis Story](https://katepowe.com/my-endometriosis-story/): My endometriosis story starts like this... I remember stepping back into the shimmering heat that day with a rush of nervous excitement.
- [What Is Endometriosis? Signs And Symptoms](https://katepowe.com/what-is-endometriosis/): What is Endometriosis? Endometriosis is an inflammatory condition where tissue that ordinarily lines the uterus (some say it's similar to, but not actually the same tissue) is also found attached to other areas and organs in the abdominal cavity, such as the bowel, fallopian tubes, bladder, ovaries and/or ligaments.
- [Natural Endometriosis Treatment Options](https://katepowe.com/natural-endometriosis-treatment-options/): So you have endometriosis . Let's take a look at some endometriosis treatment options from a natural perspective.
- [Mellow and Motivate with L-Theanine](https://katepowe.com/mellow-and-motivate-with-l-theanine/): One of its star properties is that it mellows out that ramped-up, agitated feeling without causing drowsiness. So it is a perfect antidote to the stress of PMS or peri-menopause when you’re feeling irritable, lacking focus and brain-foggy.
- [The Sexy Side of Vitamin D](https://katepowe.com/the-sexy-side-of-vitamin-d/): So don't get me wrong, the whole fact that Vitamin D is made at all is amazing and I love all that it does for us.
- [Is Anaemia The Real Reason For Your Adrenal Fatigue?](https://katepowe.com/anaemia-adrenal-fatigue/): Anaemia: If you feel like you're dragging yourself through the day with no spark in your cylinders, it may be less about your adrenals and more about your red blood cells.
- [Allergies, Hormones and the Histamine Effect](https://katepowe.com/allergies-hormones-histamine/): If you're a regular sufferer of hayfever and pet, dust or seasonal allergies, you're probably aware that histamine is behind your symptoms (if not for the very fact an anti-histamine will probably be your best friend.) But why is it happening and could it be affecting other things like your PMS, period pain or heavy flow?

- [What Does Love Have To Do With Your Health?](https://katepowe.com/what-does-love-have-to-do-with-your-health/): I think we sometimes get a bit scared of the emotional aspects of ourselves. We tend to think it's weak to admit to feeling depressed, or that we can't cope with our job or relationship rut or financial situation. We feel like a failure, but to whom? Often we think we can't let others see into our true selves for fear of judgement or not being good enough or not being the success we're all primed to believe we must be to be accepted in the world. But I think the fear is in admitting to ourselves that we're not Ms Peta (or Mr Peter) Perfect.
- [Everyday Bliss Bombs](https://katepowe.com/everyday-bliss-bombs/): Whilst in the throws of screaming at the significant other, the kids or the boss (guilty of that one – wouldn’t advise it), we can simultaneously be thinking, "Stuff this!" all the while running a mental movie of our escape plan to a 5-star luxury resort, spa or holiday.

- [Four Key Minerals for Hormonal Health](https://katepowe.com/four-key-minerals-for-hormonal-health/): It’s a super sensitive system and when it's slightly off kilter, it's often barraged with numerous medications and synthetic hormone replacements which in effect shuts down a core aspect of our feminine essence.
- [The Pointy Edges of Transformation](https://katepowe.com/the-pointy-edges-of-transformation/): If you're aware of your own personal energy as well as the broader group dynamic, you'll probably have noticed we seem to be in a pretty turbulent patch.
- [Stress and Disease | Shingles and Migraine](https://katepowe.com/stress-and-disease-shingles-and-migraine/): It hit the news over the past few days: Rates of shingles have increased significantly over recent years but did you know the most common reason for a shingles episode is stress? If you have ever had chicken pox, you are at risk later in life for this painful (and sometimes dangerous) viral re-activation.
- [Why Ceasing Stress Should Be Your Top Priority](https://katepowe.com/why-ceasing-stress-should-be-your-top-priority/): Stress isn't just being overworked or over-partied (though they are biggies in the scheme of things. I've written all about how to get through the festivities unscathed. Just Click here for my 4 Top Tips)
- [Sorting Out Your Sleep](https://katepowe.com/sorting-out-your-sleep/): Adequate sleep is essential to your overall state of health and an area we tend to ignore or manage poorly when we are trying to understand reasons behind fatigue, stress, hormone disruption and weight gain.
- [What is Leaky Gut?](https://katepowe.com/what-is-leaky-gut/): The gut’s lining is naturally permeable to allow for the constantly regulated exchange of water, minerals and nutrients and to protect the gut from damage via harmful substances.
- [Who or what is influencing your health?](https://katepowe.com/who-or-what-is-influencing-your-health/): One minute it’s low fat, calcium-packed dairy and canning that cancer-causing red meat. Then it’s butter’s back, carbs are out and dairy is ditched
- [Passion and the path to healing](https://katepowe.com/passion-and-the-path-to-healing/): (That’s Italian for Hello everyone!)
- [Lose body fat and improve health with Nutritional Ketosis](https://katepowe.com/lose-body-fat-and-improve-health-with-nutritional-ketosis/): On December 3rd 2014 I started my journey into the exploration of Ketosis. Fact is, I wanted a solution to help stem inflammation in my body and drop some body fat which had been stubbornly hanging on as I shifted into a new hormonal phase of life.
- [Is there more to health than our biochemistry?](https://katepowe.com/is-there-more-to-health-than-our-biochemistry/): There's a lot I've been pondering and trialling recently (trust me, I'm always the first person I test my theories on!) and after a busy year following what I thought would lead me to my own optimal health, I've sat back and looked at an often forgotten part of healing: our thoughts and emotions.

- [Ultimate guide for beautiful skin](https://katepowe.com/ultimate-guide-for-beautiful-skin/): Why no! (well not all of them).

- [Self-love for your tummy](https://katepowe.com/self-love-for-your-tummy/): Too often the only attention we give to them is either lamenting their external shape or size (definitely not encouraged), or admiring them (encourage.

- [Folic Acid: Could it be harming your health?](https://katepowe.com/folic-acid-could-it-be-harming-your-health/): I don’t know if it’s the association with luscious green leafy vegetation (from whence it comes) or the association I have with it being a particularly feminine vitamin (yeah, it’s not…but maybe it’s the whole pre-conception/baby association thing).
- [Why you should get your Meditation On](https://katepowe.com/why-you-should-get-your-meditation-on-in-2014/): You know the reaction, “It’s so boring,” or “I don’t know if I’m doing it right,” “I can’t stop the mental chatter,” or the one we’ve all done, "{insert loud snoring noise}.”

If you're into the energetic principles of healing, take a peek at Part 1 below: Who exactly was Dr Edward Bach?...
- [Time to stop the beatup](https://katepowe.com/time-to-stop-the-beatup/): I think the incessant building work going on outside whilst I sit in front of my laptop (daytime television on in the background) has triggered a memory. One worth remembering.
