MIRA Fertility

1 comment
I have to admit staying calm during my fertility journey was sometimes a little hard with everything that was going on, but I reminded myself to stay grounded and in harmony so my WOMB wouldn't captivate too much stress and intense energy.

As you all know, I've experienced two miscarriages, but what you didn't know is how much I distance myself from my body the first time it happened. I lost track of my body literacy with my cycle, cervical mucous, ovulation and everything. FEAR really shocked my body and I isolated my very own body from myself. 

But everything was a process with my healing and regaining my reproductive knowledge because it was vital the second time around it happened to uplift my soul and body sooner than the first time. But yet, I was struggling to identify my ovulation peaks because my hormones had changed so much. And although, I did my best to track everything in my journal. I was missing a small component to help feel confident in understanding my new ovulation phases until I came across Mira Fertility .





Mira is the first and only comprehensive at-home testing device that allows women to quantitatively track major hormones and plotting continous curves to predict ovulation. 

Unlike other fertility trackers on the market, Mira Fertility analyzer is the only fertility tracker on the market that gives you actual hormone concentration levels as well as an easy to understand fertility score bases on these readings. It allows to capture fertility window before ovulation and get clear results. 

Mira is the worlds smartest, clinically proven ovulation and fertility trackers that helps you know exactly when your fertile and infertile days are through Al-powered hormones analysis. No more missed peaks or hard to read, inaccurate over the counter fertility/ovulation test. 

Mira is more than just a hormone trackers- it's an all in one fertility tracking system that automatically syncs, records and explains your fertility hormone data in a way that is easy to understand. Mira Fertility is as easy as collecting a urine sample on a disposable stick! The Mira Analyzer is optimized for home and on the go testing, keeping your fertility journey personal and discreet. 
. 

Get started with Mira
1. Press the button to turn on your Mira Analyzer. Scan the QR code that appears onthe analyzer or download the Mira app by visiting: http://mira.app.
2. Launch the Mira app and make sure Bluetooth on your phone is turned on.
3. Follow the instructions on the Mira App to pair your Mira Analyzer 
4. Press the Analyzer button to confirm the connection



5. Immerse the Mira Fertility test wand into urine for 10 seconds. Please use the first morning urine or limit flued intake for two hours before test. (p.s. the cup in the picture is filled with a little water just to show process. Remember to use your own real urine) 


6. Move the blue cap to the other end of the test wand. Push until it clicks securely into place while keeping the triangle pointing up 
7. While keeping the Analyzer on a flat surface, fully insert the test wand into the Analyzer in the direction of the triangle. Keep the Anaylyzer level and sitll while the test is in progress.
8. The test will take 10-16 mins to process. Results will automatically sync to your Mira app! 





I found this process real simple and quick. The best part is having my  analysis is linked up to my app on my phone where I can review my fertility data. Mira now plans to continue to grow their comprehensive women's health home monitoring platform to also include testing and analysis for ovarian reserve, fetal health and miscarriage, menopause and hormone balance. 

Mira also recognizes that we have health disparities for black females. Black women face higher infertility rates and are 3-4 times more likely to pass away from pregnancy complication compared to white women. This particularly troubling, especially because the majority of health care workers are women of color. Mira is aware of the existing painful disparities in healthcare and access to reproductive health and they are doing their part by providing FREE Mira starter kits to communities that need them the most. If you want to help support the movement, donate to black doulas  organization. 

My fertility journey feels a little more at ease knowing other women will be supported as well.

Kea Kea Mask

No comments


Happy Saturday Ladies! This past two weeks I had to take a break from podcasting to focus on other project initiatives all while still reporting to work. I know we are all trying to do our best on social distancing while being outdoors and wearing face mask where we need to, but I  have found myself navigating for a good mask that's easy to wear and easy to breathe. I came across the Kea Kea washable face cover and I had to admit, I've enjoyed wearing this mask because the material is soft, breathable and not irritating my skin.

It's definitely made my life a little easier as we are settling into the new norm of things to protect our health  and the health of others.  This mask can be repeatedly washed and it won't deform in color nor shrink. It has great air ventilation compare to other mask and has less moisture being captivated on your facial skin. The fabric is stretchy, strong and suitable for outdoors activities.

You can  purchase by them by a pack and in different colors!

SKIN CARE GURU

Do you have a proper skin care routine? If not, it's time to start thinking about what you can do differently to enhance the health of your skin. Proper skincare is important because the skin in our bodies is the largest organ and we must learn to keep it healthy for many reasons. For starters, taking the time to involve yourself in a skin care routine will take less time than having to see a dermatologist, but keep in mind if you need to see one don't hesitate. Second a skincare routine can help your face from bigger issues such asd iscoloration, acne scars, or other skin issues. Third when you look good you feel good.

In this week's episode, I had the opportunity to sit down with Ms. Adina Diaz and talk about Skin Care. After working over a decade in the field of esthetics, she decided that she must challenge the status quo and redefine society's standards of beauty and care by offering an uplifting and luxurious spa experience that is eco-friendly and fully inspired by Mother Nature.

GUT HEALTH

No comments

Happy Sunday Ladies! We have made it to the month of May, but I want to know how has your gut has been feeling. Healthy, constipated or bloated?! . According to Kirschmann, constipation is a disorder characterized by decreased frequency of bowel movements, resulting in waste matter remaining in the colon and becoming dry from  a variety of causes. And constipation may stem from a variety of cause. A poor diet lacking in fluids or roughage can bring about constipation. And if we have insufficient muscle tone in the intestinal or abdominal wall due to lack of exercise, repeated failure to heed the signal to eliminate, or excessive fatigue, nervousness, anxiety, stress, or excitement may also result in constipation. 

Did you know nutrition can cure and prevent constipation while at the same time help your gut health? It  is possible for some us who don't have a severe chronic constipation to find alleviation with food. However, for others who have more severe symptoms may need to follow up with a medical provider.  As mention on the podcast episode during the pandemic, I had experience constipation and diarrhea. I had to narrow down what was bugging my gut!! And it came down to my oatmeal with 2% milk..I realize I could no longer consume milk. But what I did find helpful to alleviate my symptoms was purchasing prune juice and a Bulgarian probiotic yogurt. Kirschmann also states, foods containing fats may be useful in the treatment of constipation because of their lubricating effect on the mucous walls of the colon. Foods like garlic (the allicin in garlic stimulates the walls of the instestines), linseed, yogurt and fruits like apples, papaya, pineapple, prunes, and figs. After about a week of drinking small amounts of prune juice and eating a bulgarian probiotic yogurt my gut was feeling back to normal with no signs of constipation lasting throughout the day. And so with my most recent experience, it was time to raise awareness about anther health topic with Amanda Sauceda who is a Registered Nutritionist specializing in GUT HEALTH.

I hope you enjoyed the podcast and blog, below Amanda has provided some great resouces.
