Balancing (Women's) Hormones Series - A Healthy Easy Cycle

August 20, 2018 Yvonne Matthews

Did you know that over 40 million women in the US struggle with hormonal issues?!?

I’ve noticed a lot more questions and general awareness from my clients and others around hormone balance. It’s something I am glad we are talking more about, not just with the other women in our lives but men and everyone! It’s a natural and quite miraculous function of women’s bodies. And though I do work with men and their hormones as well, today is all about the ladies! I encourage everyone to share this with the men in their lives. This is something we should all know and no longer hide or look away from.

First let’s define what a healthy menstrual cycle is.

Moon Cycle Tea Recipe

Hey gang, it's been a minute. But I am here. I've been doing a lot of amazing things the last few months and getting ready to start a few new things as well. I will get into all that good stuff in another post, soon, I promise. But for now, I wanted to share a great tea recipe that I made yesterday inspired by a few things in my life: 1) I started my cycle today and am trying the meLuna cup today for the first time, so far I am loving it! 2) I was feeling a little overwhelmed with all the work I had committed to do, and after talking to my amazing business coach (who also happens to be an ayurvedic nutritionist) Claire of Vidya Living, who reminded me that during this time of my cycle, not only is it ok to back off and turn inward, but it's beneficial to me and those around me as well. So, yestreday and today I backed off a little bit, took a bath, spent some time outdoors in my garden, did yoga instead of spin class and took a little more gentle and loving time with myself.

Hormone Balance with Seed Cycling

I have some AMAZING news everyone! I am officially a holistic nutritionist! I had my final presentation yesterday and it went great! It was a fast and fun 18 month program. I enjoyed being back in a physical classroom again with some amazing individuals. It even looks like one of my colleagues and I will be starting a corporate wellness lecture program together. Now the students becomes the teachers! Eeekkkk!!!

Aside from all that wonderful news I am starting to work on developing my own private practice and moving into some cool new office space with some amazing doctors and other wellness practitioners. Naturally, I thought the blog (if you can call my irregular, once a month posts a blog) would turn a little more into a holistic health space. Yeah? Cool!
