I am writing the "Liver Health" module, the topic is sauna and I wanted to share few thoughts on this. Let's go back in time :) Growing up, sauna was not a wellness tool. It was just life. Every single night without fail, we had a sauna, 100-120 C degrees! We sat, we sweated, we forgot about the day. We talked, we let the body relax and we wound down. That was how the day officially ended. And in winter, we would run from the steaming hot sauna straight to the frozen lake, jump through the hole cut in the ice, completely naked, then run back in. It was glorious and completely normal to us. That is where my relationship with sauna started. And it has never changed. I genuinely believe traditional sauna is one of the most powerful health and wellness tools available to us. The heat, the sweat, the cardiovascular response, the nervous system reset, the sleep that follows. There is nothing quite like it. And decades of serious research backs this up. Studies following thousands of people over 20 plus years show significant reductions in cardiovascular disease, dementia, respiratory conditions and overall mortality. This is not trend wellness. This is a thousands of years old practice with real evidence behind it. And then there is infrared....... I'll be honest. I can't get on board with it and here's why. Infrared feels to me like a modern, convenient, slightly sterile version of sauna that arrived with very big marketing claims and very little actual research to back them up. I am not convinced about the exposure to the frequencies either. The studies on traditional sauna have been building for decades. The infrared research is thin, recent, and in some areas raises more questions than it answers. My concerns around infrared come down to a few things. Near infrared has been linked to cataract development with repeated exposure, there are open questions around how it interacts with cells that already have some damage, and sitting centimetres away from heating panels multiple times a week for years raises EMF questions that nobody has properly answered yet. Not proven harmful, but not proven safe either and that gap is enough for me.

We had quite a few light bulb moments during this session, and it was full of surprises. Here is the raw, uncut version of our conversation. We covered: • What is behind most self-sabotage situations • What opportunities may be hidden within these moments • How we can expand our understanding of these so-called "weak" moments • How to turn internal pressure and feeling stuck into a more relaxed and even fun experience A few things I wrote down for myself were: LIFE IS CHANGE and OPPORTUNITY I'd love to hear your thoughts. Please ask your questions, share any light bulb moments, and let us know if there is anything you think you can do differently from now on. Thank you, Ben, for your presence, guidance, and insights.

We are living in a world where we are exposed to processed food, synthetic chemicals in our skincare, cleaning products and plastics. Plus more daily stress than any previous generation has had to carry. All of this makes our livers work harder than ever just to keep up. When the liver is overloaded, you feel it everywhere. - Fatigue that sleep does not fix. - Skin that has lost its glow. - Hormones that feel chaotic. - Bloating after meals that should be fine. - Brain fog that follows you through the day. - Weight around the middle that will not shift. The good news is that small changes make a real difference. Here are three simple things you can do for your liver this week: 1. Warm lemon water first thing in the morning Before your coffee, before anything else. Warm water with half a lemon squeezed in. It stimulates bile flow, gently wakes the liver up and costs nothing. Try it for a week and notice how your digestion feels. 2. A small handful of rocket before your main meal Bitter greens are one of the simplest and most overlooked liver supporters. Most women have never connected them to their hormones. Dress with a little olive oil and lemon and let it do its quiet work. 3. Notice how you feel after a fatty meal After salmon, avocado, eggs or anything rich. If you feel nauseous, heavy or bloated afterwards, that is a bile flow signal worth paying attention to. Healthy fats should feel completely fine. If they do not, your liver is flagging something. While you are busy giving all this a go, I will keep polishing the liver health module so you can get your liver the best support possible, naturally.

I want to share something important about this space. While my core focus is always nutrition, anti-inflammatory eating, and supporting the body to heal through food, I also see something very clearly in my practice. Mindset plays a huge role in how well we heal and how sustainably we change. The way we think, respond to stress, process emotions, and relate to ourselves can either support the body or keep it stuck in survival mode. At the same time, I am very aware that I am not a trained therapist or mindset specialist, I see patterns, I help to connect the dots, yes, but I feel like we all (me included) would benefits from some words of wisdom from different experts. So instead of trying to be everything, I have chosen to bring in support from people who are deeply skilled in these areas. They are all different ands thats how it should be, so you can feel the pull and follow your gut instinct. That is why you will start seeing me introduce different experts, conversations, and tools here, all focused on mindset, emotional wellbeing, nervous system regulation, and real-life skills that support healing. Think of this as an expansion of the journey, not a replacement of anything we already do here. My intention is simple. To make your healing process easier, more supported, and more complete by connecting body, mind, spirit and emotional wellbeing in a practical way. I will be sharing these insights gradually so you can explore, feel it out, take what is useful, and integrate it in a way that feels natural for you. I am really looking forward to bringing this layer into our space.

So we are here to co-create. I am starting to put together a module about liver health and how it practically relates to your health and what you can do to help yourself. It needs to serve you meaning help you not stress you out so I need your input. Have a read through some of the questions and let me know what you think: - have you ever actually tried to support your liver health before? What did you do and how did it go? - what are the questions in your head that bother you or make you worried in regards to liver? - what kind of tips would you like to hear? - when it comes to learning about your health, what actually works for you - short videos you can watch while making dinner, a simple one-page cheat sheet on the fridge, a meal plan to follow, or something else? - What do you need to know about liver - hormone connection, food and eating, herbs and teas, daily habits and lifestyle, reducing toxins at home, mindset around health. Anything else you want to say ? AND A BIG QUESTION: What would make you think yes, this is exactly what I needed? I am one big ear and listening/reading.
