Holy & Hormonal

Why is it so hard for us women to rest? Did you know that the word "rest" is used 275 times in the Bible? From Genesis to Revelation we see rhythms of rest and work. Why is it that when Jesus commands us to stop striving, to be still, and to be present with Him that we all of the sudden find every excuse not to? Why is it so important anyways... and the golden question, how does rest affect our hormones and overall health?

What is Endometriosis? How do I know if I have it? How can I fix it? Kimberly Kushner is a proud mom of three boys and a highly qualified naturopath and clinical nutritionist. Her health journey began at 11 with painful periods and digestive troubles. After years of being passed from doctor to doctor, she finally saw an endometriosis expert 12 years later. A laparoscopy revealed adenomyosis, endometriosis lesions, chocolate cysts, and adhesions, which were removed from her bowel, bladder, uterus, pelvic ligaments, and ovaries. Finally receiving a diagnosis was a huge relief. Since then, Kimberly has navigated many challenges and now manages her health drug-free with a personalized holistic approach.
