Our Pain is Insane With 20% of Australians suffering from chronic pain, and pain being the most common reason someone will visit a healthcare Practitioner in Australia,[¹] there is no question that we’re a nation in pain and inflamed! To understand how to reduce pain, we need to look at its main cause, inflammation.

The Purpose of Poo

As you read this, your body is working hard to:

• Clear waste produced during its normal, healthy activities
• Remove compounds (e.g. hormones) from circulation that have completed their tasks
• Neutralise toxins that can harm your body, and
• Fight off pathogens (infectious organisms) that could otherwise make you sick

Once it’s completed these tasks, the next step is to eliminate these unwanted substances. It does this by packaging them up and sending them to your intestines to be eliminated in your poo! 

Menopause is a natural process where a woman transitions from her childbearing years to the next stage of her life. Whilst menopause usually occurs around age 50, a woman is said to be officially in menopause once she has not had a menstrual period for twelve consecutive months so this can occur at various ages. 

However, for many women, the months or years leading into menopause (known as perimenopause), can mark the onset of challenging symptoms including irregular menstrual cycles, flushing sensations, irritability and night sweats.
