🍯Raw honey is liquid gold. Some powerful benefits:
- Balances estrogen & boosts progesterone levels in women
- Anti-cancer
- Antioxidant-rich
- Antibacterial and antifungal
- Immune booster (especially propolis)
- Anti-inflammatory
- Improves digestion & gut health
- Heals
Raw Honey is the purest, life force giving substance you can possibly put into your body.
'Superfood' doesn't begin to do it justice.
Eat more raw honey, and watch your health improve.

Women’s brains are more complexly wired than men’s. On average, we need 20 minutes MORE sleep every night for our brain to detox. When we shortcut our sleep, we can worsen our brain function and increase our risk for early onset dementia.

Inositol can be incredibly helpful for women with PCOS. It seems that it’s best to take either only myo-inositol or a 40:1 ratio of myo-inositol to D-chiro-inositol. The small amount of D-chiro-inositol allows for improved insulin sensitivity, but not so much that it impairs
In the US alone over 6 million women experience PCOS-related:
• heavy menstruation
• (no) menstruation
• depression
• weight gain
• infertility
• acne
• etc
Significant changes occur in some or all areas by taking atleast 2 grams of 𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐎𝐋 a day for 3-6 months
