To help you feel healthier, more attractive and positively radiant
Feeling Sluggish?
TAP INTO YOUR POWER CENTER
Find your thymus gland – it’s 1-2 inches below your collarbone. Using the fingertips of both hands, tap firmly for 20 seconds. You’ll get a quick energy lift & this boosts immunity, too!
FEED YOUR BODY WELL
Essential fatty acids are important for hormone balance and healthy hair. Learn to love fish high in Omega-3’s, such as salmon, or supplement daily with a high-quality fish oil or flax seed oil. Swap “white stuff” (sugar, white bread, milk) for fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts & eggs. Try a few of these foods and note to yourself how they impact your life.
GET MORE “D”
If you shun the sun and feel tired and unmotivated, you could be one of the 85% of post-menopausal women who are Vitamin D deficient. Are you taking a daily “D” supplement of 2,000-5,000 mg?
Menopause Hair?
LIMIT YOUR EXPOSURE TO TOXINS
Toxins are easily absorbed through our skin…27 seconds from bottle to bloodstream. Use only natural, toxin-free personal care products. Best way to find these? Use the consumer guide at www.ewg.org/skindeep
PRACTICE “LESS IS MORE”
Combat hair shedding and thinner follicles by choosing hair care products that don’t weigh down your strands. Keep your hair routine simple & reduce time with a blow dryer or curling iron. www.innersensebeauty.com for organic hair products and super-helpful *free* consultants.
STRUGGLING WITH HAIR LOSS?
Stress is the most common cause. Calm your nervous system with Rescue Remedy (Bach). Do the relaxation practice (Radiant Wise Woman, page 87 – “Dare to Rest”) to enjoy a quieter mind, better focus, and more kindness to yourself and others.
Hormones Out of Whack?
FIND BALANCE
See a practitioner who specializes in hormone balance to make sure you don’t have a thyroid disorder, insulin resistance, or iron deficiency. You may consider supplementing with herbs that support hormone balance—chaste tree, ashwagandha, or Nature’s Way black cohosh (40 mg) and you’ll achieve radiance.
