Many women struggle with missing periods, for a number of different reasons. In this episode I will be discussing secondary amenorrhea (lack of periods, after previously having a menstrual cycle), something that I have personally struggled with.

I discuss:

Common reasons for amenorrhea

The long term health impacts of amenorrhea

Other symptoms you may be struggling with

1. Figure out why your period went missing

2. Make sure you aren’t under eating

3. Consider switching up your exercise routine

4. Spend more time in the parasympathetic nervous system state

5. Get back into nature

6. Connect with your sacral chakra

7. Investigate gut health

8. Support liver detoxification

9. Consider some smart supplementation

10. Act as if you already have a period

“There are claims that glyphosate isn't harmful to our health because it specifically affects the ‘shikimate pathway’, which our human cells don’t have. But, our gut bacteria use this pathway to produce certain aromatic amino acids, which are crucial for DNA synthesis, neurotransmitters & nutrient production”


Dr. Stephanie Seneff is a Senior Research Scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. She has a BS degree from MIT in biology and MS, EE and PhD degrees from MIT in electrical engineering and computer science. She has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals and conference proceedings. Her recent interests have focused on the role of toxic chemicals and micronutrient deficiencies in health and disease, with a special emphasis on the pervasive herbicide, Roundup, and the mineral, sulfur.

Her investigations have led to a strong hypothesis that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is the key factor in the autism epidemic and in many other neurological, metabolic, oncological and autoimmune diseases. She has authored over thirty peer-reviewed journal papers over the past few years on these topics, and has delivered numerous slide presentations around the world. She is currently writing a book on glyphosate that will hopefully be released in 2020.

http://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/

_______



We talk about:

The pesticide GLYPHOSATE & how its unavailable in our environment these days

It’s connection to conditions like autism, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome & cancer

How glyphosate & GMO crops work together & how this is harming our health and environment

How there’s glyphosate found in vaccines these days, along with other adjuvants like aluminium 

Stephanie’s thoughts & research on vaccinations & particularly the link with autism


Mentioned:

Please note that when you search some of these studies, practitioners & mentioned connections, you will struggle to find a lot of information online & many of the google searches will say how they are ‘inaccurate’ & ’dangerous’ because of the censoring of ’alternative’ websites.



Here's a link to the video capturing conversations among experts advising WHO on vaccines:

"EMF’s are not only linked to cancer, but they are linked to a whole host of modern diseases such as Alzhiemers, diabetes & depression"

Leonard Stafford holds an honours degree in Physiology and after teaching at a medical school in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, he returned to the UK to pursue a career in business. This culminated in a 20 year position as Deputy MD for the Nike Group of Companies in Bracknell.

Prior to his retirement in 2014 he became very interested in EMFs and whether they were detrimental to our health. His investigations showed that they were, and that there was a cover up of the truth on a massive scale.Thinking about this situation he decided that the best course of action was to try and help people mitigate the effects of EMFs.

Leonard then trained in Austria to become a Geobiologist and now carries out EMF and Geopathic surveys throughout the UK. His aim is to help people reduce the impact of EMFs by shielding the sleeping area and to use 'memon' technology to reduce the impact of EMFs during the day.His clients generally find that shielding and/or the use of memon improves the quality of their sleep, raises their energy levels, and increases their feeling of well being.'

https://youremfguide.com/

Update: In the episode Leonard makes the statement that 'autism rates are doubling every year', when actually the rates are doubling every 5 years*

In this episode we discuss:

EMF’s, their negative health effects & how to reduce exposure

How EMF’s can exacerbate other illnesses like mitochondrial dysfunction, mould toxicity & heavy metals

How your location can affect your health - this is known as geopathic stress

The dangers of 5G which is launching around the world - what Leonard believes this will lead to

Andy Mant is the founder and CEO of BLUblox, a company specialising in evidence based advanced light filtering eyewear. Andy started BLUblox after becoming dissatisfied with the quality and standards of blue light blocking glasses available and so set about to design lenses that match the evidence in the academic literature. Through BLUblox, he and his team have developed scientifically-backed advanced light filtering eyewear, that is not being mass produced from a factory in China, but rather their bespoke lenses are manufactured and fitted in Australia, ensuring that each pair is infused with love, care and quality.

Andy has utilized his acquired expertise on light and health to educate on the podcasts he has been on. Education is Andy’s number one objective and his previous podcast appearances have not been pitches for his products, but educational content to help empower listeners to create a better light environment and a better life. BLUblox is a brand that truly believes in giving. Through their not-for-profit partnership with Restoring vision they are helping give the gift of sight to those in need with their buy one donate one glasses campaign.

"You lose glucose and insulin sensitivity when oestrogen declines. Therefore your carbohydrate needs reduce when you enter menopause and you just cannot eat the way you did in your 20’s & 30’s. This can also be what contributes to weight gain during this time."

Maria Claps is a certified health coach, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner and mom to 4 grown boys. After receiving inadequate healthcare that did nothing to address her peri-menopause problems, Maria enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in order to help herself. After that, Maria pursued several hormone-centric trainings including Dr. Sara Gottfried’s practitioner hormone training program, the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition program, the Nutritious Life Certification and she also trained with hormone scholar and scientist Dr. Lindsey Berkson.

Maria helps women all over the world as a peri-menopause and menopause mentor via her Thrive Over 45 program. She is a DUTCH hormone test expert. When she’s not working with clients, Maria can be found trekking through Italy, at farmer’s markets locally or in the kitchen creating recipes.
