Meet Paulina Tavernier | Speaking my truth with joy

 

I’m Paulina, and I really want to thank you for joining me in my little corner of the web. 


I’m a wife and full-time volunteer for Bible education, it is the most important thing in our lives and is what brings us the greatest joy. 


When it comes to my health, I realized as a young teenager that alternative medicine agreed with my body much more than traditional medicine. And as a young married woman, I learned it even more so. I had always had issues with my cycle, but just after a couple of months of being married, I started feeling worse and found out after about 3 years that I had PCOS and hypothyroidism. An acupuncturist explained to me that synthetic birth control was causing all those problems, plus was the reason for the many emotional issues I was having. I remember one day, my in-laws were over, and as I was in the kitchen, I had to stop what I was doing and catch myself with the countertop because of a cyst bursting and the pain. Many times I was close to fainting. So I decided it was best to stop taking them. I definitely started feeling better, although my cycle was still a bit off.


Throughout the years, I felt like I was not being heard, as I had so many issues when going to the doctor. So many OBGYN’S wanted me to go back to the newest pill because “it would be better this time.” There was one time a doctor told me to take the pill back to back just so I wouldn't get my period, but I ended up bleeding for 6 months in a row.


In the past, bronchitis was also something I fought against all the time. Doctors would put me on antibiotics, and they would make me so sick. There were times when I became extremely dehydrated because the medicines would make me vomit. I felt like my voice was not being heard once again. I HAD to find a way to deal with my anxiety, bronchitis, my hormones, my joint pains, and restless legs, and so I did. I found ways and protocols that no doctor had recommended that actually worked. I wasn't waking up at night anxious anymore, I haven’t gotten bronchitis in 4 years from the time I was writing this, my cycle is more regular, and another pleasant surprise was that I no longer have the wrist pain I’d had since my teenage years that was preventing me from playing my flute for any more than 5 mins.


I now have the tools I need to help me balance out my emotions, self-confidence, and hormones as I live with PCOS. And I finally feel like my voice means something.


I choose to speak and express myself with JOY now, whether it is with friends or a doctor. And I love to help others to be able to do the same as they deal with PCOS.

If you are ready to manage your PCOS and live joyfully, then you've come to the right place!

Understanding PCOS: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment options

Understanding PCOS: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment options
Welcome to a blog that opens doors to greater knowledge and encourages women worldwide! 

Today, we embark on a journey to unravel the confusing world of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). As a passionate advocate for women's health, I'm excited to share the ins and outs of this condition: its symptoms, causes, and holistic treatment options that can unlock newfound wellness and balance. Let's dive right in!

Decoding the Symptoms
PCOS manifests in various ways; its symptoms are sometimes hard to pin down. It can feel like a big, puzzling whirlwind of challenges, from menstrual irregularities and weight gain to lack of sleep, acne, and facial hair. However, by understanding the signs associated with PCOS, we embark on the path to knowledge. Together, we'll unravel the mysteries and discover clarity and relief.

Unveiling the Causes
As we navigate the intricate fabric of PCOS, it’s important to explore the underlying causes behind this condition. The interplay between hormonal imbalances, genetic predispositions, and insulin resistance often contributes to the development of PCOS. Recognizing these factors can lay the foundation for targeted treatment strategies.

Shining a Light on Treatment Options
Now, let's shed light on the diverse treatment options for PCOS patients. While traditional approaches focus on medication and symptom management, we'll dive deeper into holistic alternatives. Discover how incorporating premium essential oils, supplements, and mindful lifestyle changes can become your allies in embracing balance.

The Power of Essential Oils
Young Living's therapeutic-grade essential oils, carefully extracted from nature's purest sources, hold the key to holistic well-being. The wide array of oils is known for supporting hormonal balance, aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation. Together with targeted supplements with a high-quality standard, we'll delve into these oils' immense potential, nurturing your journey toward wellness.

Embracing a Holistic Lifestyle
Treating PCOS isn't solely reliant on external remedies; it's also about self-discovery and embracing a holistic wellness approach. We'll explore techniques like personalized nutrition, exercise, stress management, and self-care practices. Incorporating these alongside your essential oil/supplement routine creates a comprehensive wellness blueprint designed specifically for you.

So, in conclusion:
PCOS may seem overwhelming, but remember; you are not alone. Understanding its symptoms and causes and exploring treatment options allows you to embark on a transformative journey toward balance and well-being. By doing this you'll reclaim control over your health and embrace a life full of joy and vitality. Together, let us encourage and support each other in this understanding of PCOS and how to manage it with joy.

PCOS: Beyond a "Period Problem"

PCOS: Beyond a "Period Problem"
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal disorder that affects millions of women worldwide. Often misunderstood as a "period problem," PCOS has far-reaching and potentially long-lasting implications for women's health beyond menstrual irregularities. In this article, we will explore the various aspects of PCOS and its multifaceted nature.

1. Hormonal Imbalance:
PCOS is primarily characterized by hormonal imbalances, particularly elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) such as testosterone. These imbalances can lead to many symptoms, including irregular or absent periods, acne, excess hair growth (hirsutism), and male pattern baldness. However, the effects of PCOS extend far beyond these visible signs.

2. Metabolic Dysfunction:
Women with PCOS often experience insulin resistance, a condition where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin. This disruption in insulin regulation can lead to weight gain, increased risk of obesity, and difficulties in managing blood sugar levels, so women with PCOS are more likely to develop conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

3. Fertility Challenges:
PCOS is one of the leading causes of infertility in women. The hormonal imbalances and irregular menstrual cycles associated with PCOS can make ovulation unpredictable or absent altogether. This can greatly affect a woman's ability to conceive naturally, especially if left untreated and she doesn't know how to track her cycle.

4. Emotional and Mental Health:
The impact of PCOS on emotional well-being should NOT be underestimated. The hormonal imbalances and the challenges of living with a chronic condition can take a toll on mental health. Many women with PCOS experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and body image issues. Many times this is due to lack of sleep. It is crucial to address the emotional aspects of PCOS alongside its physical manifestations.

5. Long-Term Health Risks:
PCOS has been associated with an increased risk of developing various long-term health issues. Women with PCOS are more likely to develop conditions such as: endometrial cancer, sleep apnea, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hypothyroidism, endo, and certain autoimmune disorders. Regular monitoring and proactive management of PCOS are crucial to minimize these risks.


So no, PCOS is not just a period problem; it is a complex hormonal disorder with profound impacts on multiple aspects of women's health. Understanding the multifaceted nature of PCOS is vital for you to seek a proper diagnosis, develop effective management strategies, and improve your overall well-being. 

As a Young Living Brand Partner, I am committed to supporting women dealing with PCOS through our holistic approach to wellness and our range of essential oil-based solutions. While not a cure for PCOS, having the tools you need to manage your PCOS with JOY is something I love helping women with.

If you're ready to show your PCOS some love, this bundle is for you.
