Vanilla Happy
Shauna Bell
Great product

Vanilla happy has helped me manage stress, get better sleep and reduce mood swings. I mix it with the protein powder and collagen and it makes a tasty smoothie.

Thanks Shauna for the review and so happy to hear that Vanilla Happy is helping with your sleep and mood swings :)

Protein Powder

Delicious protein

This is the best tasting protein powder I have tried. Creamy, a touch of sweetness and no funky aftertaste. Goes well mixed with vanilla happy.

So glad you're loving our Protein Powder! Thanks for the review. :)

Liking what i see when i look in the mirror, this 64yr old face is glowing, thanks to my new found friend " Beauty Booster ". How did i survive without you.

A wow moment!

On a recent holiday when I didn't bother taking my Latte Liberate with me as we would be travelling, by midweek I was getting aches and pains in my hips and legs which I hadn't had for ages. Got home and got a smoothie into me and after a couple of days no more aches and pains. Touch wood I haven't had hot flashes before or during using this product and now I don't want to give it the chance!

Thanks for the review Kathy and glad that your aches and pains are under control again with Latte Liberate ❤️

My happy start to the day

Great product has definitely helped me with hormone balance and feeling positive and ready to start the day.
If I forget to take it I definitely notice the difference it has now become a regular order and I get to save on the cost on auto order.

So happy that its making a huge difference - great to hear ❤️

How digestion has an impact on weight gain and hormone imbalance

How digestion has an impact on weight gain and hormone imbalance | kulture.store

Our tummy is home to a lot of organs: the stomach, the liver, the pancreas, the gallbladder, and the small and large intestines. Now, it is home to yet another “virtual organ”, something called the microbiome.

The microbiome is made up of a system of microbes living in and on our body. We have beneficial bacteria all over and inside our body and most of this friendly bacteria reside in our gut. It is closely tied to the endocrine system as well since hormones such as serotonin and melatonin are produced in the gut.

The friendly microbial flora is so extensive that there are studies that support the addition of the microbiome as a “virtual endocrine organ. With so many organs and hormones tied to our digestive system, why isn’t digestive health one of our topmost priorities?


Why is it important to take care of our digestive health?

Digestive problems that are not properly addressed can cause a host of other problems down the line, one being an adverse effect on our hormones. Poor digestion is a result of our body’s inability to break down food. If you ever find yourself experiencing bloating, stomach upset, burping, heartburn, flatulence, diarrhea or constipation, then you know you have a digestive system that isn’t functioning properly. And this could mean trouble.


The effects of poor digestion

80% of serotonin and melatonin is produced in the gut. An imbalance of these hormones can lead to mood swings, anxiety, and depression. An imbalance of those 2 hormones can also cause sleep disorders. These two hormones are primarily responsible for the quality of sleep we get. When we are sleep deprived, we become fatigued and anxious. All of these combined can cause us to make bad food choices. Ever notice that when you are sleep deprived, you have a tendency to overeat? That’s our body over compensating for the hormonal imbalance.


The imbalance of blood glucose levels is also tied to our digestive health. A healthy digestive system means a more stable blood glucose level. An unhealthy one means involuntary craving for sugar which makes your insulin levels spike. You already know that high insulin levels cause diabetes. Insulin resistance also compromises our body’s fat burning ability causing weight gain.


How to improve digestive health:

  • Eat healthful food - This is always the number one tip. This means, you should avoid eating processed food that is high in sugar. Eat healthy fats  rich in Omega 3 and 6. But make sure you don’t overeat!
  • Take supplements - There are many options for probiotics that can help support your digestive health. Probiotics are chock full of good bacteria. You can get them in tablet or drink form. Fermented foods are also a good source of probiotics.
  • Get moving - Staying sedentary or sitting in  an office chair for long periods of time will decrease motility in your digestive system. So get moving!
