During these difficult times that we are all going through while dealing with a pandemic, I have been receiving many calls of women suffering from an increase in acne and urinary tract infections.

Many of us are opting for unhealthy foods, adding more carbs and alcohol to our diets, and these are shifting the microbiome in the gut as well as increasing the inflammation in our bodies.

The possible increase in the amount of sex people are having as a result of spending more time at home, is also a factor that can be contributing to women having more UTIs, bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections.

When it comes to UTI, I recommend D-Mannose and a protocol which is called UTI Clear which comes in tincture form and is a urinary tract antiseptic, a diuretic and a liver tonic. There is also a product called Horse Tail which is an anti-infective herb that helps to tone the walls of your bladder and another called Marshmallow that helps you soothe the urinary tract. All these aids for your health come from Saint Francis Herb Farm who offers amazing certified organic products. Create a more simple life with Saint Francis Herb Farm products, you can order through Pure Feast, use the promo code JENNPIKE and save 10% off all of your purchases.

Regarding acne, there are so many women who are afraid of applying oil-based products to their skin, but the truth is that an oil-based product can help to calm the skin down. I use a product called Light by Skin Essence Organicswhich is specifically formulated for those who have oily skin, providing light hydration and healing the skin with its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

I want to share my own hair health tips, I only wash my hair twice a week in order not to strip my scalp from the healthy oils it produces. Washing your hair daily causes drying and damage. The oil on your hair and skin is related to your hormonal levels and you should have that under consideration so you can search for the root causes of this. Castor Oil from Saint Francis Herb Farm is one of my best allies, apply it to your hair from root to tip. Create a more simple life with Saint Francis Herb Farm products. You can order through Pure Feast, use the promo code JENNPIKE and save 10% off all of your purchases.

Another amazing product I use is Nourish from Skin Essence which is formulated for skin, but I also apply it to my hair. Nourish is like food for my hair since it has rich antioxidants and nutrients which work marvelously for your skin and hair. I use Nourish after drying by rubbing some drops on my hands and applying it to the ends of my hair.

I want to share with you a Master Class I had with my private group for Synced Program members. My movement series is based on the four phases of a woman´s menstrual cycle and the four phases of the moon, which is meant for women who are either pregnant or no longer have a menstrual cycle. The Synced Program is a transition to the Synced Academy which is going to be focused on teaching women all the aspects of their bodies that they should have known from a very early age.

We are in a time in history when we need to start questioning everything and begin to tap into what our bodies are really communicating to us to create a level of strength and internal resiliency to be able to stay in rhythm and connection to ourselves. We are all currently inundated with fear and anxiety as a result of the news and people's opinions and agendas. My goal is to teach you how to manage that level of stress and to learn how to listen to the signs that your body is giving you.

These are the main topics of this awesome master class.

• ● Illnesses are symptoms of a bigger issue, not the root cause.
• ● The story of your eggs from the uterus until adult life.
• ● The truth about ovulation, your period and why it is not only about getting pregnant
• ● The four phases of your cycle and how your energy is affected by them.
• ● Learn to be a ninja managing your time in accordance with your cycle phases.
• ● Stress is either real or imaginary.
• ● Learn to adapt your diet to your cycle phases.
• ● Start tracking your cycle!
• ● DUTCH test.
• ● Cortisol is a longer-term hormone.
• ● Pay attention to your body responses to the changes in your diet.
• ● What dairy does to your system.
• ● Understand histamine and how it is contained in food.
• ● Move your body every day, exercise according to your menstrual phases.
• ● Why you need to be in bed by 10 pm.
• ● Seed cycling.
• ● How to use adaptogens.
• ● Supplements, tinctures, and homeopathic remedies.
• ● The color of your bleed matters.
• ● Signs of low progesterone.
• I hope you learn some of the crucial information about your cycle you should have been taught when you were a child. It is never too late to learn more about your body and to discover the root causes of those symptoms and signs you have been receiving from it. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!

• Gas and bloating.
• Easy hacks to help your digestion.
• What healthy bowel movements look like.
• The role of the gut microbiome in your weight.
• A food diary includes what you are eating and how it makes you feel.

These are the main topics of an amazing episode:

• ● What are the adrenals and how do they work?
• ● How does stress work on your body?
• ● The involvement of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and thyroids in response to stress.
• ● What does it mean to suffer from adrenal fatigue?
• ● Your symptoms are the messengers, not the root cause.

• I am usually not an anxious person but I tend to feel overwhelmed, especially in uncertain times like the ones we are going through with the COVID 19 outbreak. I personally use adaptogens, which are different herbs and botanicals that help our nervous systems and adrenals to adapt and manage stress better from the inside out. Saint Francis Herb Farm offers some amazing adaptogens, one of them is Strest which is amazing to ground you, to allow you to have more perspective and to help you have better sleep at night. My other recommendation is called Schisandra, an adaptogen that feels like a hug to your adrenals pushing back against mental and physical fatigue and normalizing the stress response.

• My skin also responds to stress and anxiety, and I have to recognize it has been feeling drier over the last couple of weeks. Skin Essence offers great products to care for your skin, Nourish is my choice to restore balance, I also love E-Cream which is the one that I have been constantly applying on a scar resulting from a cyst that was removed in December, the difference has been simply amazing!

COVID-19 is affecting us all, for the first time we all feel the same way, we are connected by this global concern. We are also making a difference with our conscious decision to practice social isolation and following the measures to prevent this virus from expanding rapidly. I have to confess that I have been feeling anxious and that it has kept me up at night, wrapped in anticipatory energy and thinking about all the 'what-ifs'. I chose ValeriCalm by Saint Francis Herb Farm to help me during these difficult times, this sweet tonic can be used by all members of the family, it does not make you feel sedated or foggy. ValeriCalm helps to soothe and relax your whole nervous system, allowing a more restful sleep.

One positive thing about the quarantine is being able to spend more time with your family. I have been doing facial masks with my daughter! We're using a fabulous mask by Skin Essence called Nurture which comes in powder form, you just need to combine it with water and mix it into a paste that you massage into your skin. You can leave the mask on for 30 minutes and then rinse it with warm water. I recommend applying Soothe serum after for a final touch!
