The Period Party

It’s fair to say that the subject of poop, and especially girls and women and pooping, is a little taboo.

I don’t know about you, but this topic was extremely embarrassing for me to talk about for a very long time. As a teenager living in gut health hell, I was too embarrassed to use the bathroom at school and instead tried to suffer through it until I got home. No way would I risk someone being in the stall next to me hearing what was happening!

On top of the social issues, keeping poops as a don’t ask-don’t tell topic meant I had no idea that my digestive issues were linked to all my hormonal woes. Here’s the thing - we have to talk about this stuff because just like periods, our digestive health tells us a lot about our bodies but we won’t know when something is wrong if we don’t even know what is normal, to begin with. Let’s push through the discomfort and start talking.

On this episode of The Period Party, Nat & Nicole talk with Dr. Fleur Appleby-Deen MBBS BSc (hons), a Mind Body Medicine Doctor who coaches and advises on prevention and recovery from the effects of stress, burnout and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). She is a qualified Medical Doctor and Yoga Instructor with a wealth of education in nutrition, meditation and spiritual development from teachers in India, Bali, England and California.  Here are the highlights of what we cover during this episode:  What exactly is burnout? And, what is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)?What types of people burnout? How to prevent burnout: the top 5 tips. After experiencing severe burnout and CFS in her 20's from working in Accident and Emergency, Dr. Fleur had to change everything about her life to get well. In so doing, she embarked upon a journey to discover what we humans really need to make us feel alive and happy.  She made it her life’s mission to assist others in healing from weird and wonderful illnesses that could not be solved with a magic pill. This journey has not only taught her about how best to take care of body, mind and spirit, but taken her into the deeper mysteries of life, giving deep perspective and awakening to the joy of life, whether illness is present or not.  Dr. Fleur encourages us to step out of the matrix, question our conditioning and instead choose our own beliefs. She pushes us to follow our dreams and live a life that feels authentic and rich.
