🤣 No joke, I’ve heard every one of these statements from my clients (three of them this week), and they are simply untrue.

⌛️ We’ve moved on from the dark ages of medicine (though sometimes the info is a little slow to drip through to those we entrust with our healthcare.)

And look, I’m not throwing GPs under the 🚌 here. Most of them are fabulous, overworked and are doing a sterling job managing a gazillion rules and regulations while trying to provide the best care for their patients in a 10 min time-slot.

🤔 But if you’re hearing outright fallacies based on old, inaccurate data, or you’re confused over conflicting info, then it’s worth a second opinion.

👩🏼‍⚕️Find a new GP and/or find a friendly naturopath (🌿👋🏼) who can walk you through all your options.

🌟 If I could have a word to myself after a part

🌟 If I could have a word to myself after a party last weekend (there may have been a little too much free-flowing champagne 🫣...), then this is what I would say as we head into party (and my birthday!) season:

🙅🏻‍♀️ Go alcohol-free. I’m hyped over HOPR atm. A zero-alcohol, zero-sugar, nootropic hops water. Sparkling and refreshingly bitter, it’s infused with adaptogens like Ashwaganda (Withania) and Lemon Balm (Melissa) as well as L-theanine to help calm your nervous system and relax after a busy day or a long party night when you don’t want to drink (Check it out with a 15% discount! 🔗 in bio).

🥂 If you are going to drink, sip on low-histamine, low-sulfite alcohol options like gin or vodka with soda over beer, champagne, wine or sugary cocktails.

💧 Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

🥩 Eat early and fuel with protein to stave-off the hunger-hormone (ghrelin) surge and stabilise blood glucose and carb cravings (oh hello 1990s and your 3am kebab-stand stops!)

👋🏼 Go early/leave early (not that I’m a party-pooper, but seriously, how good is it to be tucked up in bed by 10pm?)

💊 Take a multi-B vitamin (activated or methylated) in the day and at least 400mg magnesium citrate or glycinate before bed to help energy and metabolism.

🎉 Any other tips to protect your energy and metabolism through the party season?

🐮 Removing dairy or switching to an A2 form, vi

🐮 Removing dairy or switching to an A2 form, via either A2 milk, sheep, goat, buffalo or jersey cow, can:

🔸lighten periods;
🔸stop destabilisation of mast cells and histamine release;
🔸minimise overall inflammation;
🔸reduce puffiness and pain;
🔸stabilise mood; and
🔸improve digestive dysbiosis

🐄 Dairy contains two proteins (or caseins, which are simply the proteins in dairy), A1 & A2: A1 is produced in most dairy cows and A2 is produced from jersey cows, sheep, goat or buffalo.

🔴 A1 dairy is inflammatory for some, which comes down to genetics and enzyme function.

💡 If you were the kid who suffered through tonsillitis, ear infections and respiratory infections (and you probably still get stuffy and puffy if you eat dairy) then it’s likely dairy isn’t (and has never been) your bestie.

🍦The inflammatory A1 protein/casein issue is NOT the same as the lactose, or milk-sugar issue. Lactose intolerance is more likely to cause the runs if you indulge in a milk coffee or ice-cream because you lack the lactase enzyme that breaks down lactose.

🤧 Intolerance to Casein (protein molecule) = inflammation
💩 Intolerance to Lactose (sugar molecule) = diarrhoea

🧈 Even if you do have an issue with A1 dairy, you can still most likely tolerate butter (make it grass-fed if possible) and whey protein powder (as the amounts of casein are minimal).

🌟This was one of the first things I ever learnt about how I could make changes that impact my cycle experience through working with the lovely @larabriden who now has some great books including the Period Repair Manual, Hormone Repair Manual and The Metabolism Reset (or Metabolism Repair for Women depending on your country) so make sure you check them out too.

👩‍💻 Comment below - have you found eliminating or reducing dairy has helped your periods?
