1. Spending hundreds on skincare while your endocrine and detox pathways are in overdrive is like painting over mould. 2. That candle, perfume, or “fresh” smelling cleaning spray? It’s not making your home cleaner — it’s filling your body with synthetic fragrance and hormone-disrupting chemicals that crash your endocrine system. 3. Your 5am ice baths? In TCM, extreme cold can throw a woman’s body into fight-or-flight, which can disrupt menstrual health, fertility, and hormonal balance by triggering a stress response. 4. You’re not dehydrated from not drinking enough — your water is missing electrolytes and trace minerals. 5. Crashing every afternoon isn’t “just being tired” — it’s often blood sugar imbalance, adrenal fatigue, poor sleep, or under-eating (and they’re all connected). 6. Your “healthy” coffee shop latte with oat milk is full of emulsifiers and seed oils. It’s likely fuelling your bloat, skin congestion, and hormone disruption. 7. You’re not “bad at meditating” — you’re just overstimulated and uncomfortable with stillness. 8. Your supplements with “natural flavours” and fillers aren’t supporting you — it’s clogging detox pathways and overloading your liver. 9. Skipping meals or calorie cutting isn’t “discipline” — it spikes cortisol, messes with your cycle, and slows your metabolism. 10. Constantly comparing your pace, body, or lifestyle to others will burn you out. Your nervous system thrives when you live at your pace, doing what actually feels good to you. ✨ It’s not about doing more. It’s about living in a way that supports your hormones, your nervous system, your skin, and your joy — long term.
