Vanilla Happy

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 ❤️

Why am I gaining weight during menopause?

Why am I gaining weight during menopause?

Menopause can be a tricky time for many women, particularly when it comes to gaining weight. 😩 You often hear women saying, "i've put on so much weight and I haven't changed my diet".

You see, right there, not changing your diet it the problem or rather... the solution.

Estrogen and weight gain

As we go through menopause our estrogen levels drop (which our body isn’t used to and this causes many of of the menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and sleeplessness.

It also causes an increase of fat on our bodies. How?

Our body wants estrogen as it's a hormone it's wanted and depended on for most of your life. When there are low levels of estrogen in the body, the body is clever enough to know how to increase estrogen and this is from fat stores.

And it's also clever enough to store excess fat for later as it knows it's going to need it. So estrogen is 1 key player when it comes to storing fat.

Insulin resistance

The hormone insulin helps control the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Insulin is released when you eat a meal and the level of glucose in your bloodstream is high. Insulin works by stimulating the uptake of glucose into cells, lowering your blood sugar level. 

Your liver and muscles should take up glucose either for immediate energy or to be stored as glycogen until it's needed, however too much insulin and it gets stored as fat.

When entering menopause many women become insulin resistant, meaning that the body's cells don't respond normally to insulin any longer. Glucose can't enter the cells as easily, so it builds up in the blood. This can eventually lead to type 2 diabetes as well as fat stores around the stomach. 

What are the foods our body turns into sugar? Carbohydrates and sugar. 

What should I eat?

Swap refined carbohydrates for slow release carbs such as lentils, chickpeas, quinoa, sweet potato and pumpkin.

Eat a diet rich in proteins and good fats such as nuts, avocados, olive oil and seeds.

Here are some simple do's and don'ts when it comes to carbs:

Eat more Eat less
Berries of any kind High fructose fruits
Sweet potato White potato
Pumpkin Bread
Chickpeas, Lentils, beans Rice, pasta, cous cous
Quinoa wheat based products
Leafy green vegetables cakes, cookies, baked goods
Cereal

 

Bitter Melon helps combat insulin resistance

If you are insulin resistant, which many women experience whilst going through menopause bitter melon can help.

It has properties that act like insulin, which helps bring glucose into the cells for energy rather than storing it as fat. Amazing product! 🙌
