Turning 40: Hormonal Changes
Ovaries, Adrenal Glands pH & More

HASHTAG: #AMCoffee

I believe that it’s important to have as much “natural” in our lives as possible because, these days and especially for women, our projected life expectancy is well into our 80s and also possibly 90s. So that means we spend more than half of our lives in peri-menopause and menopause! The fewer toxins we have especially in our 40s and 50s, will help contribute to a better old age.

“Real” natural vs. “fake” natural; putting aloe into a product along with a lot of other chemicals is “fake” natural.

There are so many products that have a “fake” natural labelling. They call themselves natural, however, they simply add chemicals in ADDITION to the natural ingredients.

Check out the main culprits for our health and body HERE.

TIP: The Top Chemicals To Avoid Are

1. Phthalates – these disrupt hormones and are “parabens”
2. Bisphenol-A (or BPA) – also hormone disruptors, they are found in plastics and lining of food tins
3. Formaldehyde – a known carcinogen, it can be in nail polish and even vinyl flooring

Our ovaries start to decline in terms of hormone production and our adrenal glands take over.

Once our ovaries stop functioning – the process begins in peri-menopause – our adrenal glands start to take over a lot of our body’s hormone production (up to 50%). So resting becomes extremely important in addition to avoiding chemicals.

I believe that 100% natural is a “must” rather than a “nice-to-have” as we age. Especially for mucous membranes and our gut.

TIP: Be wary of whether a personal care product is actually “natural.” And also don’t have the same expectations for natural products. Products without sulphates as foaming ingredients won’t foam as much. Check ingredients carefully.

As we are celebrating a National WOMEN’s Health Week May 14-20, I decided to invite one of the prominent product formulators and a woman-entrepreneur Chia Chia Sun (pronounced chah-chah-sun).

For the past few years, Chia Chia has dedicated her time and efforts to formulate personal care, intimate care line of products that allow each woman to feel comfortable and healthy inside her body, as she crosses that 40’s line. Some amazing insights and research Chia Chia has dug out from her own personal journey.

Chia Chia will be available to us all to ask questions during this week of our AM Coffee. Get ready to ask and learn from her!
