The Made to Thrive Show How To Optimise Your Fat! Seed OIls, PUFA’s, MUFA’s, & Regenerative Farming. Strong Sistas Dr Ashley Armstrong. MS Phd
PUFAS, MUFAS and LUFAS. No, they’re not a new type of cereal or sponge for the shower, these are the types of dietary fats that will either make or break your metabolism. And the key here is where are you getting them from aka what are you eating. Which is Ashley Armstrong's expertise. Not only from a scientific point of view, but because she became a regenerative farmer in order to ensure creating the right fatty acid composition for her animals and the humans that will eventually consume them or their products.
Ashley and Sarah Armstrong, also known as the Strong Sistas, are here to help others simplify and implement the foundations of true health. Their goal is to empower individuals to live their best lives, free from being stunted by a diagnosis and the confusion and fear that often accompany it. With firsthand experience, they understand the challenges of feeling lost and afraid, trying every restrictive diet, being prescribed numerous medications, and being told, “this is your new normal,” with no other options, answers, or hope for a positive outcome.
Ashley Armstrong received her PhD in Engineering and became a Professor, but during graduate school, she discovered her true passions for nutrition and regenerative agriculture, which led her to build Strong Sistas and start a regenerative farm from scratch. She has overcome numerous health challenges, including amenorrhea (no period for 12 years), autoimmunity, constipation and gut issues, PCOS, severe insomnia, orthorexia, iron overload, hirsutism, self-doubt, and estrogen imbalance.
