The term ‘hormonal' has become synonymous with ‘moody'. While hormones do affect mood, they do much more in the body than that. We tend to think of certain times in life, such as puberty, pregnancy, and the transition to menopause as hormone-fueled, but the truth is that our hormones influence the health of our bodies and minds every single day.So what exactly are hormones? Hormones are special chemicals that travel through the bloodstream. They carry messages from the glands where they are produced to cells in different parts of the body. These chemical messages help to manage cellular processes that control appetite, growth, stress, blood sugar, sleep cycles, sex drive, and sexual function, to name a few. The endocrine system is a complex web of interactions. Hormones interact with each other and with many other systems of the body, including the immune system, in ways that we don't yet understand.About Our Guest:Ana G. Herrera spent 17 years in the corporate world, leading well known beauty brands. Her life took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with Stage IV Endometriosis in her mid 20s. This condition brought unimaginable pain into her life, leading to five surgeries, infertility, surgical menopause, and numerous other challenging consequences. Frustrated by the lack of specific research, clear information, and natural products that she could apply into my daily life, Ana decided to embark on a new path. She began talking to hundreds of women and discovered that many shared a common thirst for knowledge and trustworthy products, yet they didn't know where to begin. It was this realization that led her to leave a successful corporate career behind and dive headfirst into the most challenging endeavor of her life—creating a company from scratch.Ana's vision is to empower others with the knowledge and products necessary to take charge of their hormones, rather than allowing hormones to dictate their lives. With a steadfast belief in authenticity and solidarity, Ana strives to create a powerful movement that transcends societal stigmas and empowers individuals to live their lives to the fullest.Resources Mentioned:Hormone University Glow productsThe Business of Birth ControlEnvironmental Working Group - Personal Care ProductsDirty DozenConnect with Ana:FacebookInstagramWebsiteLinkedInTwitterThe hashtag for the podcast is #nourishyourflourish.

Endocrine Disruptors with Ana G. Herrera In episode #225 of The Hormone P.U.Z.Z.L.E Podcast, our guest Ana G. Herrera talks about Endocrine Disruptors. More about Ana: Ana dedicated 15 years of her life to the corporate world, leading and growing well known beauty and wellness corporations worldwide. In the meantime, she was silently battling Stage IV Endometriosis, a condition that affects 10% of women that is horrendously painful and difficult to deal with. She was in pain 50% of her time with extreme PMS for over a decade, went through 5 surgeries, infertility, and surgical menopause. Severe side effects with hormonal treatments inspired her to start her entrepreneurial journey to fulfill her vision of rethinking the women's wellness space. Knowing that hormonal wellness is the result of a balanced approach to health and with the naturopathic principles in mind, she launched Glow Botanica, a company that provides a series of effective natural remedies to help achieve hormonal balance by targeting symptoms, not age. From her personal experience wellness starts from knowledge. Ana also built and launched Hormone University, the first educational platform focused on hormonal health, aiming to not only raise awareness but also empower women to take control over their hormonal health, to be prepared when they step into the doctor's office, and to get their questions answered. While her businesses are still young, Ana has the ambition to become the beacon of hormonal wellbeing, giving women all the tools to be in control of their hormones and not to be controlled by them.

In this Episode of Love your Diagnosis, I talk with Belle H about her diagnosis of Stage 4 Endometriosis. Endometriosis is a common disorder that affects many women and can be joy altering due to the pain that is endured every month. The disorder is from the uterine lining growing outside of the uterus to ovaries, fallopian tubes and even intestines. OUCH!!! Belle tells her story of having options to deal with the discomfort by taking the contraceptive pill which is the first point of call for many women. This avenue didn't help her though so she sucked it up for many decades and just surrendered to being in pain. Until she opted for a hysterectomy at 37 and her life has never been better. A story of choice, tenacity and hope. Enjoy! I do everything for this podcast with no financial backing why? because I think it's important to share people's stories and successes in order to empower everyone!!

Planting seeds of information about things that perhaps you never knew could and might assist in treating and managing the symptoms associated with your diagnosis. Alternative treatments are out there to be used, alongside allopathic medicine, or instead of. That part is completely up to you, but gaining knowledge is the first part in empowering yourself back to health. I really hope you get some good ol' nuggets of info from these interviews so you can go and start researching yourself and perhaps even start experimenting on the treatment that feels right for you instead of just letting someone else direct your health decisions.

I am feeling upset… I scrolled through Facebook this afternoon, only briefly, and saw this disturbing post. It was from a woman with Endometrisois who is contemplating ‘allowing’ her bladder to be removed. Yes! Her bladder! Removed! Oh my goodness. Whatever next?! We can produce Dolly The Sheep and fly to the Moon, yet women with Endometriosis are regularly having major organs removed. In brief; she previously had a cystectomy operation for medical treatment for her Endometriosis and cysts. But before long, not only did Endometriosis symptoms return, but soon there were side effects evident and further complications. One of them was bladder pressure. Painkillers, drugs and surgery do not treat the underlying causes of the Endometriosis condition, which is inflammation and hormonal imbalance. Painkillers, drugs and surgery only try to manage the symptoms. The bladder is a very sensitive organ which sits under the uterus. Bladder pressure (from my experience), can be caused by an inflamed uterus or general inflammation in the lower abdominal area. Equally, the bladder may be acutely sensitive to products like sugar, wheat, soy, gmo, additives, preservatives – which are widely known to irritate and add inflammation. So with my own journey (and other women I work with) it was only a case of adjusting and swapping out these elements that’s cause the inflammation and the bladder pressure disappeared. I refer to this process as Laidlaw Protocols amd the 5 P’s (poisons). The 5 P’s consist of Produce, Products, Property, People & Past. What has upset me the most is the mistreatment and misinformation she has been given. What on earth is her body and life going to be like after the removal of an essential organ? Only in the medical profession, can a treatment go wrong and/or fail, yet there is no recourse. There is no ‘money back’ and no accountability. No other industry in the world work operates like this. What is terribly troubling too is the emotional and psychological impact on her. It is often the case that many women, who may be so terribly traumatised by the decades of pain that has ravaged their body, and the invasive surgery, that they may develop a trauma bond with their physician or surgeon. I know I used to feel the same. That was me 6 years ago… So utterly desolate and desperate to be well – or at the very least pain-free – and that the only person who ‘appears’ to be helping them is someone offering ineffective treatment yet you cling to that surgical hope. Yet, why if Surgery is so ineffective do women have multiple surgeries? Do you know why? Because the surgeons blame the women or state it’s an enigma or they just don’t know. How is that even possible? How is it that miraculous feats can be accomplished in surgical realms now, yet the treatment for Endometriosis has remained the same for almost 50 years. Why? Big Pharma… Money… What if the advice they get is flawed or outdated? The medical profession used to believe, only 40 years ago, that cutting out part of your prefrontal cortex (brain) helped relieve depression… What if the current treatment is causing the Endometriosis to grow, creating new symptoms and side effects? I had 6 surgeries before I realised that the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results” as Einstein said. It rarely occurs to women with Endometriosis to get a second opinion – or to question the professional WHY the procedure did not work. The gynaecological system is well oiled Machine. The Gold Standard does not address the underlying root causes of Endometriosis. So in over 97% of cases the symptoms return with more complications and adhesions. To remove the bladder! It’s barbaric. How is this allowed to happen? Whilst there is obviously a requirement for A&E services and transplants, the medical profession struggle to treat conditions like Endometriosis and bladder pressure; in my opinion and from my own past experience. Yet the trauma has bonded this poor woman to the very person who is causing her more harm. And the vicious cycle continues. If you are curious to know more and to learn how it IS possible to allow your body to regenerate, then listen to Stacey’s testimonial. Hear her success story about how her bladder pressure reduced, then disappeared along with her Endometriosis during my 12 Week Foundation Program. How Stacey even went on to have her beautiful little daughter Madeline; despite her doctor saying she would never have any children. Where ever you are on your journey, remember all of your body parts are needed. Are important. Every single one of them. So never ever give one of them up without a fight.
