I like to say this biochemical and emotional scenario is common but not normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. What if the symptoms your body gives you, what if the parts of your body that frustrate or sadden you, are simply messengers asking you to eat, drink, move, think, believe or perceive in a new way? It is time to see them as the gifts that they are. These symptoms can be wake up calls for women to make changes in their lives they may not otherwise make, enhancing their health, energy, vitality and greatness in the process.
The Science and Impact of Rushing - Dr Libby
Women get to blame rushing women's syndrome or PTSD or some other hormonal or psychological problem. Men get to shut up and tolerate it or else pay for the divorce and see their life's work get carved up so their ex-wives can "find" themselves in a two bedroom apartment, take trips to Bali with their girlfriends and go in with dates with men they meet on Tinder then complain all the men want of a single mother is sex.
The expectation that we can do our jobs with the same amount of time and energy that we did prior to having a family. The expectation that our homes are always clean and tidy; that our children are socially, emotionally, physically and behaviourally thriving (and if they are not it is somehow our fault) and that we maintain a level of physical attractiveness that society deems acceptable. that’s beautiful. Okay, what book do you think outside of yours? Because when people ask me this question, I always say your book, what book do you think every woman needs to read? Or that would be incredibly impactful for women to read to help her understand herself better? This episode will teach you to control your thoughts, lower your stress, and eliminate your anxiety. Dr. Libby will change the way that you look at hormones forever. Yeah, and it’s just repetition. So it’s, it’s listening to yourself, not and just catching that moment. And if you do that over and over and over again, eventually you create a new brain. Yeah. And you go ahead. No, you go. Each time you stop that. So if I’m running the tape of Mrs. Smith, cortisol is going through my body. And I’m and I’m in maybe I call it the rabbit hole. Where do you go? Well, if this is going to go on, then this is going to go out. And then this is going to go on and you start down like 10 thought patterns that have nothing to do with whatever happened in the situation. So as long as you’re running, running that old brain and you’re in that old stress pattern, you’ve got cortisol going up, and when cortisol is going up, progesterone is going down. And so now if you want to stop cortisol immediately, you can stop it by asking a different question and evaluating where that initial thought came from. Is that correct? The challenge for too many women today is that they live in SNS dominance, in a constant state of "fight or flight". This can play havoc with weight management, food cravings, sleep quality, patience, moods, self-esteem, and overall quality of life.

But I want to do it all. I want to experience this. Yeah. I don’t want to miss out. I have a lot to contribute. Great question. Because along those lines, Mindy, the other thing other than adrenaline that can lead us into anxiety is very low. progesterone, as I’m sure you and your listeners are very aware of. progesterone is a powerful anti anxiety agent. And we only produce it in large amounts after we ovulate. And so when someone has polycystic ovarian syndrome, or when they’re moving into perimenopause, and they stop ovulating every month, and then of course, post menopause, Lee, there’s no more ovulation, we’re obviously still going to make a small amount of progesterone from a couple of the adrenal glands mostly. But that progesterone is incredibly protective against feeling overwhelmed and and too many anxious feelings. And again, that something I think that it’s just not talked about enough. Yet, and also for women, when you when they use the birth control pill, like what a lot of women don’t understand that that stops the reason it’s so good at preventing pregnancies, it stops you ovulating. So it stops you having that lovely big surge of progesterone. So there’s, that’s another whole can of worms. But anyway, so Recently grabbing my attention was a book written by nutritional biochemist Dr. Libby Weaver. What grabbed my attention about this book was its title “Rushing Woman’s Syndrome – The impact of a never ending to-do list on your health”. It is an excellent book that examines how constantly rushing and having a never ending to-do list has a substantial cost to our physical and mental health. Nutritional biochemist, Dr. Libby Weaver (PhD), is also a thirteen-times bestselling author, speaker, and founder of the food-based supplement range, Bio Blends.One of the hormones driving this is adrenalin, which communicates to every cell in the body that your life is in danger. As I described in my TEDx talk science suggests humans have been on the planet for between 100,00 and 150,000 years and for the entirety of that history, that’s what adrenalin has meant to the body. The nervous system doesn’t know that the adrenalin amping you up is not from a physical threat to your life but rather your body’s response to the caffeine you drink and/or your perception of pressure. The pituitary is the master switch of the endocrine system which sends signals to other endocrine system glands (adrenals, ovaries, thyroid) instructing them to make hormones. For example the adrenal glands will make stress hormones, the ovaries make sex hormones and thyroid gland makes hormones that control temperature and metabolism. None of them work in isolation, they all influence each other. When we are stressed, adrenalin is released by the adrenal glands (to escape the perceived threat), blood sugar rises, to give us more energy and blood pressure and pulse rate increase to provide more energy to the muscles. But as a result reproductive functions are down regulated as the body prioritizes its need for survival rather than its need to reproduce. It's not just the physical health consequences that concern me for women. It's that they live their lives so out of touch with their beautiful hearts, out of touch with how extraordinary they are. So many arelost in the cloud of false belief that they aren't doing it properly. A respected international speaker, Dr. Libby’s expertise in nutritional biochemistry has led her to share the stage with Marianne Williamson, Sir Richard Branson, and Tony Robbins, as well as many other thought-leaders. She is regularly called upon by television and radio as an authoritative figure in the health and wellness industry.

It’s all for you, that life happens for you. It’s not happening to you. So even the big tough stuff that can unfold all of it for you.to live life in touch with how precious it is to live life in touch with how precious they are, and to treat themselves accordingly. Because if you were truly in touch with how precious you are, you would never do half the things you do. So if we could leave more of our life, in touch with Yeah, how precious life is and how precious we are, and then trade ourselves accordingly, the ripple effect of that in the world would be extraordinary.
