This is a continuation from www.jennpike.com/episode54 where I talked about cycle syncing and promised to broaden the topic by talking about moon cycling. Today, I really look at what is in us as well as what is happening outside of us, focusing deeper on this later aspect, in terms of the energetic pole that the moon creates around its four phases in the month that resemble the four phases that women go through during our times for menstruation. For those of you who don't have a period, you need to hear this information, even more than women who are still menstruating, because when you lose that cycle, not having that bleed every month, it is easier to have the feeling that you have lost your connection with femininity and that is simply not true.

These are some of the amazing themes you will hear in this episode:

• ● Why moon cycling matters.
• ● The impact of the outer environment to your inner one.
• ● The moon phases and how they influence us.
• ● The New Moon Phase: rest and restore.
• ● The Waxing Moon: prepare for what is about to emerge.
• ● The Full Moon: bold and confident.
• ● Waning Moon: slowing down and connecting with your intuition.
• ● If you are not synced up with the moon, don't panic.
• To understand the moon is to understand yourself. Hoping this episode helps you reach a better understanding what is going on in your body as the moon transits through its different phases. Honor where you are right now! Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!

David Brooke from Skin Essence is joining me again in this episode since we ran out of time in the previous one (Organic, Holistic and Natural Skincare). I got so much great feedback and tons of questions from listeners about the importance of our skin care and about understanding what is in the skin care products we are using, as well as the overall impact that some chemicals can have, not only in how our skin looks and feels, but also internally.

In this episode, we are diving deeper, talking about the hormonal impacts of skincare, since some products work as endocrine and estrogen disruptors. We also talk about the sustainability aspect of our product choices, and how to choose the right products for different types of skin.

Here are the main topics of this eye opening conversation:

• ● The importance of what you are absorbing through your skin.
• ● Your skin naturally create oils, not creams.
• ● Oils vs creams.
• ● Oils for different type skins.
• ● The healing power of calendula.
• ● The hormonal impact of skincare products.
• ● The skincare industry is a self regulated one.
• ● Affordable and healthy skin products.
• ● When to start using oils on children.
• ● Regimes for three different skin types: aging skins, sensitive-rash prone skins and acne prone skin.
• ● The importance of exfoliation.

I am so excited to have Ashleigh Norris as a guest for this awesome episode. She is the newest addition to our team at the Simplicity Project and the Hormone Project. Ashleigh will share what working with a Nutritionist really is about, not only knowing which food to choose but how to live our lives.

Ashleigh was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, at the age of 19. She knew nothing about autoimmunity then and made no real changes to her diet or lifestyle. She had no idea of the storm that was brewing inside her body. She lived her twenties out like anyone else and eventually reached a point of adrenal burnout so intense she could not get out of bed for work. That same week — almost a decade later — she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Since that day, everything shifted in her life. She left her high-stress job, enrolled in Nutrition School at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition full time to become a Certified Holistic Nutritionist.

Ashleigh's job is to empower women when it comes to understanding nutrition, so they can feel energized and confident in their own ability to maintain optimal health and happiness long after they're finished working with her.

These are the main topics discussed in this episode:

• ● Ashleigh talks about her health journey until becoming a Certified Holistic Nutritionist.
• ● Signs Ashleigh's body was giving her about the thyroid imbalance she was suffering.
• ● The complete tests Ashleigh had.
• ● Reiki and energy healing.
• ● Linking emotions with disease management.
• ● Emotions get stuck and show signs in our physical bodies.
• ● The power of showing up as your authentic self.
• ● Tips to align your outer environment with the way you want to feel.
• ● Identify sources of toxicity at a relational level.
• ● Consider silicon and bpa alternatives.
• ● Detoxifying your home.
• ● Ashleigh's Workshops, a place to share at a deeper level.
• ● Creating sustainable habits.
• ● The confusion with autoimmunity.
• ● Learning to calm your immune system.
• ● Recognizing when you are entering panic mode.
• Hoping you are as excited as I am to learn more from Ashleigh, always aiming to achieve healing and unleashing your potential through eating, moving and living better. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!

I am almost 40 years old and I couldn't be more excited about it! I am grateful for every step in my path and for the experiences that led me to the point where I am today. There is a lot I have learned about my own body, I used to think that more was more and less was not enough. I have learned to nourish my body so I can thrive. During these years I have been helping women in their own course of action, struggles and journeys and for this I kept studying and keeping my curiosity alive.

I recently gave birth to my most recent program called Synced, to show every woman there is a way to move, nourish and support their bodies without feeling depleted.

These are the main topics exposed in this episode to help you understand the different phases of your cycle:

• ● Do you feel you are eating the right foods for your cycle?
• ● Four distinct phases of the cycle.
• ● The follicular phases.
• ● Foods you should add to your diet during each phase.
• ● Seed cycling.
• ● The ovulatory phase.
• ● The egg wisdom.
• ● Your body is looking for pleasure and joy during ovulatory phase.
• ● The luteal phase, the longest one.
• ● Stress lowers your progesterone.
• ● The menstrual cycle.
• ● The right movement for each phase of your cycle.
• ● Do less!
• Your body is brilliant! I hope you enjoyed this episode and learned better ways to support your body through the different phases of your cycle. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!
