#35 Are you experiencing PMS, estrogen dominance, weight gain, thyroid issues, depression, exhaustion, or insomnia? If so, it's time to prioritize your gut health. Your gut plays a pivotal role in regulating hormones, and addressing it can be a crucial step in achieving hormonal balance. Hormonal issues and gut problems often go hand in hand, creating a complex interplay. It's a bit like the classic chicken-and-egg scenario – it's challenging to determine which came first. On one hand, an imbalanced microbiome can disrupt your hormone equilibrium. Conversely, hormonal imbalances can contribute to digestive issues. Regardless of the origin, when striving to conquer a hormonal imbalance, regardless of its manifestations, your overall health takes precedence.

#34 Today, join me to delve into the concept of Slow Living and Ayurveda. In our modern, bustling world, we often find ourselves caught up in a web of deadlines, commitments, and constant distractions, which can leave us feeling disconnected from our own essence and neglectful of our overall well-being. It is precisely in this context that the philosophy of slow living takes center stage, providing a beacon of hope for those seeking to recalibrate their lives. Slow living encourages us to shift our focus towards what truly matters and disengage from the relentless hustle and bustle of our daily routines. At its core, slow living is a profound philosophy that champions deceleration and mindfulness. It stands in stark contrast to the rapid, high-stress lifestyles that have become all too common. Instead, slow living invites us to embrace conscious living and allocate precious time to nurture our inner selves. Ayurveda and Slow Living form a harmonious union, as both philosophies share a commitment to deceleration and mindfulness. Ayurveda, the ancient holistic system of healing, seamlessly complements the slow living approach. Tune in and discover: What is Slow Living?The shortcomings of the "higher, faster, further" ethos and why it ultimately falls short of fulfilling our true needs.The intricate connection between Ayurveda and the principles of slow living.Practical insights into how each one of us can craft our unique slow living blueprint tailored to our individual Ayurvedic constitution.Why different Ayurvedic constitution types, known as "doshas," necessitate distinct approaches to slow living.Discover more about Carina's work here: HORMONE THRIVE - My signature program for slow living, Ayurvedic self-care practices, healthy habits and natural hormone balance.

#27 In order to understand the connection between the liver and hormonal imbalances, we must first realise that the liver is our most important detoxification organ. It ensures that toxic substances are rendered harmless and converted in such a way that they can be discharged via the stools and the urine. If the liver is healthy, it can easily get rid of these substances. However, if it is overloaded, it cannot adequately break down used hormones. And at the same time she cannot take care of the production of new hormones, for which she is also responsible. In this podcast episode you will learn how you can tell that your liver is overloaded and what hormonal disorders and symptoms are associated with it. Many women are not even aware that their liver is overloaded. And that's no wonder, because the liver has no nerve cells. That's why we don't notice when she's not feeling well or signs of liver problems don't appear until much later. Many hormonal problems can also indicate a weakened liver, such as: cycle problems; severe menopausal symptoms; PMS; irritability; depressive moods; mood swings; weight gain and water retention; cysts and fibroids; breast tenderness or problems and pain around ovulation. The good news: The liver has the ability to repair itself if we provide the right conditions. And that's why I developed my Ayurveda Hormone Detox program. THE AYURVEDA HORMONE DETOX A program designed to release deep stored toxins for more energy, balanced hormones, strong digestion and deep sleep. We help you to shape up your body and feel strong and self-confident.
