MAGNESIUM! A great insight below on why this element is so important in all our daily lives. Not only hormones, also essential in regulating stress, sleep and blood glucose.

As my patients can tell you, I prescribe magnesium for almost every hormonal condition including PCOS, insulin resistance, PMDD, migraines, and perimenopause.

Magnesium:
- regulates cortisol and the HPA axis
- reduces blood sugar and normalizes insulin
- supports thyroid
- aids sleep
- fuels cellular energy
- activates vitamin D
- slows aging, and
- normalizes the action of progesterone on the central nervous system.

A therapeutic dose of magnesium is at least 300 mg which usually equates to three capsules. If your label says “500 mg magnesium glycinate” per capsule, check if it is actually referring to “total” magnesium glycinate (magnesium plus glycine). And read carefully to see how much “equivalent magnesium” or "elemental magnesium" is provided by each capsule.

Food sources of magnesium include leafy greens, almonds, dark chocolate, and mineral water.

Hi!

Getting out there and meeting people is a great part of what I love about my work. If you’re in the area, stop by and have a chat 😊
The people at Jetts Kwinana are really caring and love what they do, too.

😮 wow!! Nasturtium chips? Pickling the seeds like capers? Fantastic ideas!

I occasionally use the leaves and flowers in salads, they taste amazing, a little like rocket, and are so packed full of nutrients.

Who else has nasturtiums growing like crazy at the moment?

Lightly spicy nasturtium chips, picked and prepped by Gather (one of my very favorite herbal food blogs).
These are oiled, salted, and baked for about 10-12 minutes at 275 degrees. Check out Gather's website for truly inspired wild food and herbal recipes + a wonderful dose of plant history and magic.
