Depo-Provera (depo contraceptive). There are many women using this medication that need to know the risk.

The contraceptive Depo-Provera has been linked to an increased risk of developing a non-malignant brain tumour, prompting lawsuits in the US and Canada. Now Australian patients are considering a class action.

"Then, she rested.
She retreated.
She reclaimed the energy she had strewn about the universe...

Then, she rested.
She retreated.
She reclaimed the energy she had strewn about the universe.

She accepted the uncertainty of loose ends and the necessity of severing old ties.

She forgave herself and others and promised to begin new.

She took time to breathe, to settle, to dismiss old worries and matters of little consequence to this time
in her life.

She gathered herself and returned to a space of gentle peace without judgment.

The stillness of love dawns in her heart and she is overjoyed to awaken to its presence.

You could be forgiven for thinking this is a healthy breakfast option ….with its Bouji matcha 🍵 powder and chia seeds.

Sure Chia puddings are a great egg free dairy free protein breakfast option….when done right.

Matcha 🍵 is a great antioxidant booster and great for focus and concentration.

This recipe really doesn’t need all 3 of the added refined sugars…even if they are “natural”.

Personally I would use ripe fruits and leave the sugars out of the compote, skip the maple and honey additions. There is enough sweetness in there already!

What do you think? 🤔

Made myself some of my version of the anti-inflammatory drink “Jamu”. When I can get nice fresh turmeric and ginger I like to have it on hand to take about 50-100ml most mornings.

This is enough for about 10days and contains kiwi,🥝 (optional); ginger;🫚 turmeric; mint leaves 🍃 ;🍋 lemon and water.
Let me know if you’d like the recipe

If you're an employer of women, a leader, a sports team captain or coach, or an educator of girls reaching puberty, take a moment to understand the experience that 10% of women of reproductive age go through with Endometriosis & Pelvic Pain.

Hormone-related pain, periods, and the disruption they cause can significantly affect a woman's ability to enjoy an active, productive life. We're finally seeing the data that shows just how widespread this is.

Healthy, happy women make the world a better place. 🌏💚 Even a little understanding of women’s health can create a big impact. 🌿

Black and Hispanic women are less likely to receive an endometriosis diagnosis, reflecting a possible systemic bias or disparity in health care access.
