Thriving Through the Changes.
At Double H Health & Wellness, I believe that women's health is not just the absence of disease, but the state of thriving through the changes seen across the hormonal lifespan, including perimenopause and beyond. I strive to empower women achieve this through self-healing and lifestyle changes.
I offer a range of services to support my clients' health goals, including one-on-one and group coaching, workshops, and tailored fasting, nutrition, exercise, and self-care plans. My services are designed to be flexible and customizable, so that my clients can choose the option that best fits their needs.
As an Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP) with a speciality in women's fasting (FLAG, or Fast Like a Girl certification), I provide coaching in fasting, nutrition, fitness, and wellness. I stay up-to-date with the latest research and trends in women's health and wellness, so that I can provide the best possible guidance to my clients.

One of the highlighted videos this month discusses the most effective stress-busting foods. The video is fab, but here's the low-down on the foods to bring down cortisol:
-brightly colored fruit and veg
-wild salmon/ omega 3 foods
-herbal tea
-nuts
-unprocessed carbs/ healthy fats
-dark chocolate (70%+ cacao)
-probiotic/ fermented foods
Your challenge during the next few stressful holiday months is to incorporate at least one of these foods into each feasting day. Dark chocolate may be my favorite pic, but it has to be low-sugar, high cacao!
Go to my product recommendation page to find a link to the best organic cacao powder I've found. I put it in my coffee and protein shakes. How will YOU use it?

Now we know that probiotic and fermented foods (like kimchi) are one of the biggest stress-busting things in the kitchen. It's almost Thanksgiving, so I wanted to share an amazing mashed root vegetable recipe using this delectable cortisol-reducer!
Kimchi is an acquired taste, but when you taste it combined with mashed potatoes, you'll be a kimchi convert.
Here's the recipe below:

Coalescing beautifully with stress management is a fitness protocol I've ignored for far too long, to my detriment: STRETCHING.
I've noticed over the past few years that jumping into a cardio or weight workout without stretching has noticeably increase my chances of muscle soreness the next day at best, or causing an injury at worst.
Our challenge this month is to do a 5-10 minute DAILY stretching routine both before and after each workout.
I've been doing more runs that usual, and I've found that guided stretching routines before and after are super helpful. Here's an example below:

Also, watch my Facebook platform each weekend in November for a more exhaustive , longer stretching routine to indulge in weekly. Try it on your "rest day"!

We're already aware that we're stressed; so what's the point of a week highlighting this fact??
Acknowledging the impact of stress on our mental health can motivate us to make health changes. We can:
-change our coping tools
-understand the difference between acute and chronic stress
-know how to differentiate a healthy level of daily stress vs a damaging level of stress

This month's fasting challenge is to fast and feast according to the current state of your nervous system!
We need to approach fasting differently depending on your cortisol levels, and whether your stress is acute or chronic. There is no "one size fits" all when it comes to fasting.
For this month only, email me at heidi@doublehhealthwellness.com for a FREE nervous system questionnaire, and a FREE consultation to review your results to determine the best general fasting protocol for you. We can then work together on a specific individualized health and wellness plan to meet your needs this fall/winter!
