What percentage of people can survive on five to six hours of sleep? The answer is ZERO. Sleep is way more important than we give credit and impacts our overall health and wellbeing in a myriad of ways. On this episode of The Woman's Vibrancy Code, your host Maraya talks through why sleep is crucial and how lifestyle impacts the quantity and quality of sleep that we get every night. Listen as Maraya gives tips and support for how to improve your bedtime routine and start prioritizing yourself starting with sleep!

IN THIS EPISODE:

• [10:00] How digestion, alcohol and caffeine impact sleep health
• [13:27] How stress affects sleep patterns

The invention of birth control has been a game changer for women's ability to achieve personal goals and plan for the future. However, there is still a lot to learn about what the pill does to the body and brain. On this episode of The Woman's Vibrancy Code, Maraya is joined by Dr. Sarah E Hill who is a renowned women's health researcher and author of This is Your Brain on Birth Control. Maraya and Dr. Hill discuss the science behind birth control, how it impacts young girls' brain development, adult women's hormones, mood and its effects on the adrenal system and stress response. Don't miss this important conversation!

IN THIS EPISODE:

• [02:09] How does the birth control pill work and what are the positive and negative consequences of birth control
• [08:48] What is happening in the brain while using synthetic hormonal birth control
• [14:12] Are hormonal changes permanent after you stop using birth control and what are the impacts on young women who use birth control before their brain is fully developed
• [24:10] Impacts on the adrenal system, stress responses, and thyroid function
• [31:17] Various side effects that women experience while on the synthetic hormones and what to expect post-birth control
• [45:16] Next Steps: How to be more educated or find alternatives to hormonal birth control

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Hormonal birth control suppresses regular hormonal function which can lead to a decrease in sexual desire, mood regulation and stress response. This hormone induced inability to regulate stress can lead to adrenal fatigue and other mental health issues.
• There is little research to show what the long term effects are for birth control usage among women ages of 13-19, whose brains are still developing. Since birth control temporarily alters brain chemistry and hormonal production, we should be cautious of how it could impact brain function and mental health.
• It is important for women, whether using hormonal birth control or not, to understand themselves and listen to their body. Don't hesitate to communicate side effects to your health provider, educate yourself and remember you matter! How you feel and what you're going through matters.

Women deserve to feel turned on by their life, their lover and themselves but so often they get weighed down by life's demands and stresses. On this episode of The Woman's Vibrancy Code, your host Maraya Brown will share 5 healthy hacks to liberate your libido and reignite passion in your life.

• Hack 2: Every sense is important. Experiment with different types of touch, sound, taste and sight and become more aware of the variety of senses you experience throughout the day.
• Hack 3: Hormones like your thyroid, cortisol, dopamine, and more play an important role in your libido. Hormones should not be tested via blood labs. Maraya prefers the DUTCH test and reminds everyone to be sure your provider really knows how to interpret the tests.
• Hack 4: Decreased vigilance or stress increases libido. Learn to manage stress and harness your feminine and masculine power as needed to flourish from a place of empowerment.
• Hack 5: The vagina is a rubix cube - they're all different and uniquely wired. Your arousal is very individualized and will be different at different types of your moon cycle.
• Certain supplements, adaptogens and elixirs can be helpful in balancing hormones and increasing your libido.

BIO:

Born in Laguna Beach, California in 1960, Alison Armstrong has been designing and leading transformational programs for adults since 1983. In 1995, after four years of studying men for her personal benefit, she created the Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women workshop to share her extraordinary findings with women across the nation. With her friend Joan McClain, a banking executive, she founded PAX Programs Incorporated with the mission of altering society's culture by transforming the way women relate to men.

Alison's exploration of human behavior began in 1991, with her decision to study men, "To find out how I was bringing out the worst in them. And hopefully, how to bring out the best." Her success in understanding men naturally led to studying women's behavior and making vital connections between the two.

Armstrong distinguishes human instincts that compel both men and women to behave in ways that contradict and undermine our own purposes, goals, values, needs and relationships. She offers partnership-based alternatives giving millions of people access to more.

Women have come to Maraya looking for solutions, not just prescriptions or told they are 'normal'. Maraya brings her decades of experience and passion for food as medicine and mindset matters to your women's health journey. So you can pour into the amazing life you are creating.
• No topics will be off-limits, taboo...oh yeah! She hopes to offer women various routes to finding their community and in listening to this podcast know they aren't alone in common Women's Health concerns.
