What we know about Anger as women is how it makes us feel and react. Can we suppress it deeply or vocalize it? I believe majority of women are good at both and still learning to set healthy boundaries with Anger. For many Anger can govern their self-expression. 

 Happy Wednesday Mujeres!

The moment has finally come to have another wellness expert to discuss an important topic relating to uterine fibroid health. According to women's health gov, "About 20 to 80 percent of women develop fibroids by the time they reach age 50s. Not all women with fibroids have symptoms. Women who do have symptoms often find fibroids hard to live with." You may be wondering at this point, what determines a woman to be at risk for developing fibroids? and that is absolutely a great question!

Join Dr. Eric Hardee and I as we have a discussion on women's health conditions relating to uterine fibroids. Dr. Eric Hardee is a board-certified vascular interventional radiologist and co-founder of Texas Endovascular, with nearly 30 years of experience treating a broad range of vascular and embolization condition using advance, minimal invasive techniques. 

With a strong background in both military and civilian medicine, Dr. Hardee has dedicated his career to helping patients regain comfort, mobility, and confidence without major surgery. His expertise includes span vein and artery disorders, including varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, and peripheral artery disease (PAD) as well as embolization treatment for conditions such as uterine fibroids. Known his compassionate, educational approach, Dr. Hardee takes time to ensure every patient understands their condition and treatment options. His care philosophy is rooted in precision, trust, and innovation, helping each patient achieve lasting relief and better quality of life.

Tune in today's podcast episode as we have a delightful and educative conversation about uterine fibroid health in women and treatment option with Texas Endovascular: Fibroid Treatment Cener in Houston.

If you like to get to know more about the Texas Endovascular center, take an opportunity to navigate their website to know more information about uterine fibroid embolization. And if you are a patient navigating for answer, this is a great time to take a self-quiz embedded in the page and/or contact the medical office directly to book an appointment for a consultation. 

I am glad there are medical providers like Dr. Eric Hardee who has advocated for the uterine fibroid embolization procedure to be covered by insurances as this help many women regain their life back!

 Happy Sunday Mujeres! 

Whether you are getting ready to have a chill Sunday at your home or go out in the community with family and friends. I want you to keep one thing in mind and ask yourself, when the last time you prioritize gentle movement for your body? I am referring to exercise such as: yoga, weightlifting, Pilates, walking, running, stretching or dancing proactively. The reason we should all be thinking about this is because our bodies crave proactive movement. 

If you're laughing and responded Never...It's time to start thinking about why you should and the benefits. As women we go through many health transitions with our mind, body, and soul and this means energy has to flow to find harmony. Movement helps increase the amount of oxygen and nutrients to the body which means increasing levels of good energy. And seriously, who doesn't want good energy?! 

Here are a couple benefits of Daily Movement:

1. Mood 
2. Energy
3. Weight Management
4. Good Sleep
5. Self-Confidence
6. Less Stagnation and friction in the muscles and bones 
7. Overall Good Health

To get some motivation going find a good space in your home or outdoors to set up an exercise corner. I found a particular area in my bedroom corner next to a mirror and plant where I've added a small free weight bracket, so I can easily engage in a 30-minute workout at home. 

 Remember, you don't have to spend a couple hundred dollars if you already have existing equipment. Grab what you already have and create a wellness corner or simply grab your walking or running shoes and head outdoors. Being outdoors is natural medicine, so walk or run around your neighborhood, community park, or hike trails. Motivation starts with actionable steps, so what step will you take? 

It's Tuesday! And this one goes out to my mujeres who think or feel that you may be that highly sensitive person. We know already there is a highly negative stigma associated with being too sensitive y por lo menos la familia te llama dramatica y chillona! Si, you read that right and most people take that to the heart and force yourself to numb your true emotions, but the consequence of numbing is that you leave a negative lasting impression that will affect every part of your work and personality. 

Y pues eso no es bueno... amiga. Let me tell you something, if you are a highly sensitive person, I want you to know that your ability to feel things make you a nurturer and a healer in other words a person with compassion and understanding. People we need today because of all the b.s. in today's world, but also not to be taking advantage of because Karma is REAL. 

Y con eso dicho, a HSP seeks meaning to life because you are on the a journey to finding a meaning to life, your purpose and your magic. Yes, you enjoy things like everyone else, but you are a seeker, you dive deep into feelings which can be good, but bad if you your are imbalance with your emotions. And the reason it can be bad is because imbalance emotions can make you prone to depression and susceptible to trigger self-esteem and anxiety issues.

This is why it's important to seek solitude and have breaks intervals monthly, quarterly, and yearly. Breaking away to recharge is necessary for you mind, body, and soul. So retrieving yourself for some downtime is necessary for your energy that contributes to your health and well-being. The stigma we need to break with being emotional is that yes it can be messy, but necessary at the same time, so your body and mind don't become stagnant and prone to severe heath condition that distance your soul from living an meaningful life. 

Imagine having a society without HSP (Imagine, Imagine, Imagine). We would lack empathy and a lack of empathy is a root cause for issues we face today. So, be glad if you are a Highly Sensitive Person because you provide balance in an unbalanced environment. And as a reminder to my HSP people feel the emotion and let it go if it doesn't serve a purpose.  

 Wow! We can definitely say 2020's energy had a big impact in our lives. So I think it's good timing to cut cords on what no longer serves us. And make room for new lifestyle changes that can help take care of you mind, body, and spirit.

With that said, I am bringing back a meditation practice I created for myself after my miscarriages known as the WOMB LOVE Meditation. I remember the first time I sat down with myself in 2018 how much I needed space for  my healing process. And as I continue to craft my magic, I've also realize how many other women needed space and decided to expand my practice to share and guide. So as continuation of my WOMB LOVE practice, I am excited to bring back this meditation on a monthly basis on the first Saturday of the month to continue to connect, spread love, and hold space. Follow on Instagram for updates on next mediation gathering. 

 

Dear Girlfriend, 

I wanted to share a libido smoothie recipe by Lila Darville that I came across while reading a wellness book.

As most of you already know we are going through different transitions in our health and libido is one of them! Hmm huhhh...you heard that right... whether your in your 20s 30s 40s... you will experience libido health changes due to several factors going on in your life and physical health.

So instead of reaching for your quick fixes, supply your body with nutrients foods that can help nourish this wellness department in your life. Cuz golly....the stories I hear behind closed doors.. and millions of reasons of why should nourish our bodies.

No shame is my game for sharing a good healthy recipe made by a women because I know you will be reading it and even trying it out! 

Lila Darville  libido smoothie

2 cups of no diary milk

1/2 cup frozen blackberries

1 tablespoon raw cacao powder

1/2 frozen banana

1 teaspoon maca powder

Local raw honey or dates

1 teaspoon of schisandra smoothie

So Cheers to a healthy libido!

are getting ready to BBQ at home, bake sweets and make some great cocktails. I want for you to try  something sweet, creative and healthy. Cuz if you don’t know by now, I’m all about mindful eating.



Don’t get me wrong I love to enjoy a little break every now and then, but the more I pay close attention to what I am consume, then the more I am sync with what my body needs. So this cake definitely helps satisfy that sweet craving and you can cut a slice and top it off with some whip cream, almonds, and raw honey. 

Enjoy the 4th, practice healthy social distancing, wear your mask, wash your hands and be kind.

Making a fruit smoothie is an essential way to nourish your body with vitamins and minerals. The best way to know the exact ingredients in your smoothie is to select the ingredients yourself. All you will need is a blender, fruit and a base, such as water, milk, or yogurt. You can also add a protein powder mix such as the Natures Bounty Optimal Solutions Supplement into the smoothie preparation.

In this particular video, I am working with strawberries and raspberries which contain particular antioxidants that decrease inflammation and phytonutrients that help fight disease. I am also using peaches because they provide beta carotene, potassium and vitamic C. Beta carotene helps with your vision and immune system to function properly. 

Happy New Year! I know you've noticed that I have been away from the blog, podcast and creating workshops. That's because I had to take a break for a couple reasons. First, I had to place my health as a priority to take care of some important health appointments and Second, I needed writers inspiration to continue to work on my first mini 5 page or so guide. I know it's not like a 20 pages, but I seriously I had t think.. write...work....think....exercise.....read...write...do laundry.. eat.. sleep.. write.. so five pages was like eternity, I seriously don't know how writers do it, but I am staying positive that I can share hopefully by this weekend! Fingers Crossed!

Next, I want to announce, I've decided to host my first workshop of the year Friday, January 17th, 2020 will be the first Women's Wellness Circle at FEMX Quarters. I am being mindful to create from a place of harmony and not exhaustion, so I will be very selective with the dates, so I can create unique and beautiful experiences. So, with that said, if you like to attend the first workshop, click the link below for details.
