go raw and see if it helps. It is helping me, I think, and in a short period of time
I was having some issues with hormonal imbalances earlier this year. What really changed things was a 19 day supervised water fast I did. It was as though they became instantly balanced after the fast - it was one of the best things I have ever do...
Saz, I'm looking for a good book on the subject, do you recommend one?
How do you know what hormones feel like?
It was my birthday so I went in party dress to my favourite club, but my friend also bought me an awesome police outfit!!!
Wow,
Thank you for all the replies guys! So much useful information has been shared. I understand it's not just what I eat that affects my hormone levels, so I do try to do calming exercies such as yoga. I tend to have a high stress level within ...
Hey Ness, I found my acne cleared up because of the Estrosense, and like I said, I pair it with the chasteberry. It's been the best combo I've tried thus far for balancing hormones. I have a books on balancing hormones for women and it recommends ...
Hello.....I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome and have basically cured it with exercise. It has to be high cardio about 30 mins a day.
I used to have hormone troubles. I was vegan on and off since the age of 20. I only ever had maybe one period a year. Went to doctors and they said they couldn't do anything to fix it, except put me on drugs which I didn't want. So i started a lon...
Vitex lowers estrogen.
A healthy menstrual cycle goes like this:
Menses to ovulation = high estrogen, low progesterone
At ovulation = there's fsh and fluctuating levels of everything and it's crazy!
Ovulation to next menses = high progesterone, lo...
I heard once that it's important to take vitex from ovulating to menses. and not all month. does anyone know anything about that?

- You're welcome. My skin used to break out when I was younger, but a raw diet has helped a lot. Also, I try not to use too many products on my face. In fact, most products are too irritating to my skin, as well. I hope you find something that works for you.
By the way, to help rid my skin of impurities, I used to apply a charcoal mask (I think it was Origins) a couple times a week. I don't need it anymore.
Thanks for the cupcake gift :-)

- I'm very lucky that I seem to digest nuts well. I guess that explains all the nuts in my recipes. They keep me satisfied this time of year, especially while I'm breastfeeding (I need 500 extra calories per day).
I've used Bee Yummy. Actually, I was using it everyday at the time this pic was taken. Now, I wash my face with Desert Essence cleanser and use NaturalZing's MSM lotion as a moisturizer. I also drink a ton of water and eat good fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, oils, etc.
By the way, thanks for the compliment. You're glowing, too :-)

- I checked out your first attempt. They look great, and I bet they tasted even better. Good job!
That pesto sounds wonderful, too. It would be lovely on the spiralized zucchini I have here.

- You're right; there is always tomorrow. I like the way you think. Also, sometimes you can just substitute some of the ingredients for what you have on hand. I do that all the time.
Thanks for complimenting little lady. She's getting a big head these days :-)

Kelly Myra said… - Hey Nessa, you sure live in a great location for a raw foodie. All that fruit! I've been to Brissie once before I was raw, so I didn't fully appreciate it then, but I did like the warm sunshiney weather and I saw a giant lizard dragon thing outside the hotel by the river, that was pretty amazing.

- The more you make them, the better you'll get. Cupcakes are pretty easy. I can make them in my sleep now. Once you get the hang of it, the possibilities are endless. I can't get enough of them :-)
By the way, I'll be posting more of them on my blog soon. My little girl was cooperative enough to let me get creative in the kitchen again.

Ani Phyo would be good, given your ingredients. I like Ani Phyo's Raw Kitchen. Her stuff is very sweet and heavy, though, IMHO.

Yeah, never much thought at the time though as it was late at night and had been about 40 degrees here. Oh well. I am so familiar with the way the Engish and Irish talk that I just assume everyone is the same with the kiwis and Aussies.
