  • Hey Ladies, have you ever wondered if it might be possible to cruise through the month without PMS or period pain? Most of us suffer from evil sugar cravings, breakouts and surprisingly snug jeans once a month(or did we pop them in the dryer too long 🤔). Rest assured, there is a solution! Here are a few tips from Shannon Stokes our hormone guru here at Natology: ▪️Take B6 - it reduces the release of an inflammatory chemical called Histamine which plays a big role in reducing PMS ▪️Keep your coffee to 1/day - more causes androgenic hormones to increase = jawline acne ▪️Take magnesium - it acts as a muscle relaxant which helps to relieve and prevent period pain
  • Certain types of oral contraceptive pills are designed to suppress the oil glands in your skin and when you stop the pill your hormones surge again which increases the oil production again. This generally lasts fo 6 months, which can be really annoying when you are trying to flaunt your beautiful blemish free skin on a selfie. Here’s what you can do to prevent the post pill-acne ▪️Prevention is best and you should really start treating the underlying cause a couple of cycles before you stop the pill. ▪️Treat stress and sleep issues as they may have been causing stress levels to push a hormone called Androgen up which causes the skin to break out around the chin and back area. ▪️Avoid cow’s milk – it contains hormones which mimic oestrogen. So that means hello almond milk lattes and goodbye cheese, yoghurt and ice cream. While you are at it, also avoid sugar as it spikes insulin which makes acne worse as it affects how your ovaries respond to hormones. That means no sugary fruit, juices, chocolates, lollies or sweet alcoholic drinks – yes, wine and champagne are sweet alcoholic drinks too. ▪️Get your hormones checked 3 months post coming off the pill – anything earlier will give you a false reading as your body will still be affected by the hormones in the pill. A good test is the DUTCH – hormone test as it assesses all hormone levels including Androgens and Adrenal hormones which hugely affect your skin. To find out more click link in bio.

  • What is your secret to getting motivated for a productive day ahead? I recently beat a long standing habit and set my alarm clock 1h before my usual wake up time. Instead of thinking of it as an hour less sleep I was getting I trained my brain to think of it as extra time to enjoy during the day. ❤️
