self-guided hypnosis for reducing hot flashes by 50% is an interesting finding 🤔 💭
==
Good news: A simple, self‑guided hypnosis program helped reduce hot flashes and their daily disruption. This gives people a non‑drug option they can start using right away.

May everyone have the opportunity to do the /innerwork.
I acknowledge that its been a privilege to been given the space & capacity to come to understand myself more and more and heal. I wish everyone the chance to gift yourself with healing and as @marlo states 'there's no telling how profound the impact will be'. Any thing is possible....

Turned 40. Decided to see what my baseline was. Got the Prenuvo scan. Mild/ normal degeneration from age. Provided some peace of mind. Wish
Insurance covered it, but nonetheless felt it was worth the cost.

Last week was Black Maternal Health Week, and I wanted to share this collection of stories around the black birthing experience.
Storytelling in healthcare is so important and I hope you can give some of these a read!
