I am trained as an educator and have experience in motivational work, working from a respectful and strength-based approach, and meeting people where they are. I am also a self-taught health mentor.
My passion is to make knowledge about womens health accesable for everyone!
I am 43 years old and about three years ago (probably way before) a started suffering from severe symptoms of perimenopause. But I didn't know what is was? And neither did my doctor!?
ADHD symptoms, brain fog (got tested for dementia twice), sugarcraving (for the first time in my life), weight gain, increased alcohol intake (used to ease the symptoms), night sweat and probably many more that I happily forgot about.
Now I am 43 years old and I have never been better!
It occurred to me that I didn't know enough about my own biology and health. I was hardly working out, hardly ate any proteins, had never meditated before and the list goes on..
Once I got on the right track og work my way into the core of my problems, it accelerated.
I am the type of person that goes in all. The type that either does it or don't do it at all.
I bought some kettlebells, cleared out he kitchen cupboards (and quite a bit was passed on to skeptical family members), bought a membership to the local gym, started to work lessand only the jobs that I like doing and so on, you get the point.
I have testet a lot of different things on my own body regarding, fasting, nutrition, types of workout, supplements, HRT, cold plunging, sauna and much more. And I am still learning. New knowledge and new voices are constantly emerging in the conversation about womens health. I actively stay informed, adjust my approach, and experiment, so I can live as healthy as possible for as long as possible. For me, that means having the best quality of life as possible and the best possible time with my children, family and friends, and with myself (the only one I know is going to be with me for the rest of my life). It is a decision I make every day, and some days it is much harder than others. But it becomes easier over time, and the more knowledge I gain.
At its core, it is basically a battle with myself. I often disagree with my hormones and my microbiome about what is best for me. In the beginning I almost never won. SUGAR CRAVINGS! Now I am clearly the one in the lead. By far.
Thank you for reading this far. Now you know a bit about who I am and where I am in my proces of becoming a healthy woman.
Now you can continue reading about the vision of WOMEN OF DENMARK.
Warm regards from Sia Løvholm
Founder of Women of Denmark
