Do you love celebrating? Whether it's through fine dining, a lavish home cooked spread or just one too many sugary or alcoholic beverages, your liver is working hard to process it all and likely feeling a little stressed to carry out other important daily functions.

Let's not forget the daily toxin exposures that your liver is dealing with, such as pollution through the air your breathe, environmental concerns such as wide spread herbicide and pesticide use as well as toxic products you may place on your body.

If you're in amongst a full schedule of social gatherings, striving for hormone balance, getting your body ready for your preconception care, or attempting to overcome dreaded pregnancy nausea, your liver will need some loving.

In this episode you will learn simple and effective ways to support your liver health through your foods and drinks. So you can achieve balanced hormones, enhanced fertility, a healthy pregnancy and mum life.

Do you struggle to fit it all in?

Like many new Mumma's, I felt like I was thrown in the deep end.

I was trying to run two businesses, but with my hubby working away regularly and randomly, I had no set time for an extra set of hands.

I learnt the hard way with what worked, what didn't and then how to adapt as my daughter's 'routine' evolved.

But I know I'm not alone.

In episode 9 I shared ways to overcome overwhelm. This is such valuable guidance in today's go go go lifestyle. But I hear you, things do need to get done & you also want to be super productive in your day and savour precious time with your loved ones. This is what it's all about, right?!

Tune into this week's short-but-sweet podcast episode as I share my personal ways of being productive, which have helped me release a couple of books and an online course in my first two years of being a Bubba Mumma.

It's likely you've heard about your microbiome. You know, the good bugs that live on your skin, in your gut, lungs and yes, even in your vagina.

We're made up of 90% bacteria - they out number us by 10:1! Yep, there's more of them than cells in your body. So it makes sense that we take good care of them and create an environment where these healthy bugs want to hang out in.

Besides, these microbes are the ones needed in strength to provide us with immune health, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial functions. The beneficial bacteria on your skin also promote a balanced, healthy complexion.

In your gut, your microbes specifically allow you to digest your foods, absorb your nutrients and allow adequate detoxification from toxins and wastes. Yes, they help move your poo through your colon and promote a regular and complete toilet stop. They even play a role in the way you think, feel and sleep, through the influence they have on the production of your neurotransmitters, serotonin and melatonin.

The balance of your microbes can also impact your baby, unborn baby and/or your one-day-baby's health. The health of your future generation begins with your preconception wellbeing and continues with the maternal nourishment you provide throughout pregnancy- and a big factor is the health of your microbiome.

These are times when you particularly want to focus on good gut health, plus encourage a beautiful balance of bacteria throughout your body.

In this episode I share steps for you to improve your microbiome and I think some of them will shock you!

What's you sleep story?

When its time for lights out, do stressors start to creep into your mind and contribute and keep you up?

How about stress, restless legs, anxiety, overactive mind, mixed in with the feelings of absolute exhaustion?

These common symptoms that can lead to trouble both getting to sleep (called sleep onset insomnia) and staying asleep over the night (sleep maintenance insomnia).

Or

Do you fall sleep as soon as your head hits the pillow but feel the physical and mental fatigue of a mumma being woken multiple times a night? I hear you.

Either way, getting quality sleep when the opportunity is given to you is important for your health and wellbeing.

Can you resonate with any of these experiences?

It's the few days before your period and your PMS is in full swing, with an irritable, snappy and sensitive, cry-at-the-drop-of-a-hat, snap-at-someone-for-saying-hello, whirl wind of crazy emotions.

Maybe it's because you haven't been sleeping well? You have tender breasts, you're cravings sweets, you feel puffy and start to dread the upcoming cramping and heavy flow you all to regularly suffer from.

This is a common story I hear as a Naturopath from women on their hormone balancing journey, either in a preconception phase, between or after babies. This is the story of Oestrogen dominance.

In this podcast episode, I delve into the ways you can avoid oestrogen overload (also known as oestrogen dominance) and work towards overcoming these symptoms and achieving healthy hormones and fertility.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed and /or anxious?

Maybe for you it's the chaos of juggling the mum: work balance or seeing multiple negative pregnancy tests, the anxiety of losing a pregnancy, being in the thick of broken Mumma sleep or your patience is wearing thin with a toddler who has dropped the day sleep, at your feet. On top of course all the other stressors our daily life brings.

I know many can relate to the impact 2020 has had on their nervous system - spiralling into a state of fear based media driven fight or flight.

So if you if you need a gentle reminder of ways to stay grounded amongst the chaos, this episode is for you.
