Hormone imbalances worldwide are rampant. There are several reasons behind that. Mainly environmental. Where do the estrogen dominance comes from and what are we seeing in women of all ages through the world?

There are many foods that are tooted as being healthy that are converted by the body into sugar. This causes a spike in our blood sugar and our insulin levels. When we think we've eaten these “healthy" meals & it hasn't lowered our fasting blood sugars or insulin, it can leave us confused, discouraged & make us feel hopeless & powerless. In this presentation we will be revealing some of the daily foods that we consume that spike our glucose & insulin. By avoiding them especially if a person is insulin resistant, pre diabetic or has type 2 diabetes, we can start to lower our fasting blood sugar & insulin levels and reduce our dependence on medications

Over a hundred years ago, before food plants were all hybrids, seed saving was part of farming and gardening. It offers so many gifts: nourishment, flavor, biodiversity, and climate resiliency. Saving seeds connects people and builds healthy communities. Over the decades, we’ve lost many of the techniques and knowledge about how to collect, share and keep viable seeds. Empowered Gardening is bringing this vital practice back into use. I pick before I eat them. To me, the point of having a garden is freshness. Lettuce is likely healthier than you realize. It provides Vitamin A, Vitamin K, and small amounts of many other healthy nutrients. It is low in fiber with high water content. Really, the perfect diet food. Once the temperature gets to about 75-80 degrees and sunny, lettuce doesn’t like it. It starts to grow tall branches or stalks, which is bolting. Then it develops flower heads and eventually produces seed. Once your lettuce bolts, leave a few plants in your garden bed, allow the flowers to bloom, and go to seed. Then dry out completely on the stalk. One lettuce plant can produce hundreds, if not thousands of seeds – you only need a few plants to save lots of free seeds. When your lettuce heads are completely dry and fluffy (like a white dandelion seed head), the seeds are ready to harvest. You can handpick individual seed heads. Once the pappuses, which are the scales or featherlike hairs, have emerged, but before they have fulfilled their seed dispersal function, a gardener can simply take hold of the pappuses to gather the seeds from each mature head. Shake the individual mature flowers onto a plate or even into another pot. More seeds can be collected easily as other heads on the plant mature. Another technique is to bend the flowering branches or stalks into a bag and gently shake them to dislodge mature seeds. This process is more efficient than hand-picking seeds from separate flowers. You can start when about one-third of the seed heads are mature. Repeat every week or two or until the desired quantity of seeds is collected. The bagging-it-up method, which I prefer, is that you can bag all the flowers and wait. Cover the whole plant or fruiting branches with a bag and gently shake them to dislodge mature seeds. This process is more efficient than hand-picking or bagging seeds from the separate flowers. Cleaning and Processing Cleaning methods vary depending on how the seeds were collected and how much chaff (dry, scaly protective casing of the seeds) is present. If seeds are gathered by hand-harvesting or shaking plants, there should be relatively little chaff. Cleaning techniques can focus on separating the seed from the pappus. Lightly rubbing the gathered material together between one’s hands or against a screen should detach the seeds from their pappuses without damaging them. On a larger scale, entire plants can be shaken or threshed, loosening the seeds from the chaff by rubbing the seed heads, or just shaking the plants over a large container, or moving the seed heads on a tarp. It can be challenging to get rid of all the chaff with your lettuce seeds. But don’t worry, the chaff won’t affect your lettuce seeds’ ability to germinate.                                                                            Key Takeaways:

This 10-minute talk empowers midlife women to experience menopause as a powerful transformation rather than a decline. Drawing from my signature program; The Unstoppable You: Navigating Menopause and Beyond, Naturally  I'll share a practical approach to easing symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, sleep disruption, and mood swings using natural strategies aligned with the body’s design.

Grounded in five pillars—restorative sleep, intentional movement, nourishing foods, nervous system regulation, and sound-based practices—participants learn simple, sustainable tools they can start using immediately to feel more energized, clear-headed, and emotionally steady.

Ideal for health-conscious, professional women who want to stay sharp, effective, and authentic in their work and relationships while honoring this life transition. It aligns with International Women’s Day by reframing midlife as a leadership and self-advocacy opportunity.​

Dr Peggy explores how chronic stress, over-responsibility, and emotional depletion quietly erode women’s confidence from the inside out. Dr. Peggy reveals why body dissatisfaction is often a nervous system response—not a discipline issue—and how true body confidence rebuilds through regulation, self-awareness, and restoring internal safety. This talk offers a compassionate, science-informed reframe for high-achieving women who feel disconnected from their bodies despite outward success.

The most powerful anti-aging treatment is not a supplement, skincare, or food; it is quality sleep. When sleep is consistently high quality, we age more slowly from the inside out. Sleep is not the absence of activity; it is when your body does its most important work. Poor sleep can lead to feeling moody, irritable, foggy, and off balance. When you sabotage sleep, you lose critical stages of repair. So learn how to sleep better. #sleepscience, #deepsleep, #sleeptips, #sleepoptimization, #howtosleepbetter
