Insulin resistance is far more common than most people realise—especially for women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. The frustrating part? Many live with it for years without even knowing.

If you’ve been battling…
✔ Stubborn belly weight that just won’t shift
✔ Intense sugar or carb cravings
✔ Energy crashes after meals
✔ Brain fog that makes it hard to focus
✔ Mood swings or irritability for no obvious reason

…then insulin resistance might be the hidden culprit.

Why Insulin Resistance Happens

Insulin is the hormone that helps move glucose (sugar) from your blood into your cells for energy. But over time—often due to stress, poor sleep, hormonal shifts, or a high-sugar diet—your body can become less sensitive to insulin.

When that happens, your pancreas has to pump out even more insulin to get the job done. The problem? Excess insulin encourages your body to store fat—especially around your belly. It can also mess with your hunger hormones, causing cravings that feel impossible to control.

Left unchecked, insulin resistance can lead to more serious issues like type 2 diabetes, heart problems, and metabolic syndrome.

The Natural Support Your Body Needs

Balancing blood sugar doesn’t have to mean extreme diets or cutting out every food you love. With the right tools, you can reset your metabolism and help your body use insulin more effectively.

That’s where Slenderiiz Day and Night Drops come in. These all-natural drops are designed to:

✅ Support stable blood sugar levels throughout the day
✅ Boost metabolism for more efficient fat-burning
✅ Reduce cravings for sugar and carbs
✅ Encourage nighttime fat-burning while you rest
✅ Give your body the reset it’s been craving

Many people report noticing changes in just a few days—from fewer cravings to feeling lighter and more energised.

Small Changes, Big Results

Pairing the drops with simple lifestyle shifts—like prioritising protein at meals, staying hydrated, and moving your body daily—can dramatically improve how your body responds to insulin.

Your weight isn’t just about willpower. When your hormones and blood sugar are balanced, your body naturally finds a healthier rhythm—making it easier to lose fat, stabilise mood, and feel in control again.

Is It Really Just Your Mood… or Are Your Hormones Trying to Tell You Something? 💛

Have you ever woken up and thought:
“Why do I feel off today?”
You’re not sad. You’re not stressed (at least not more than usual). But something just doesn’t feel right.

Maybe you’re:

• Snappy with your partner over something small

• Struggling to concentrate or remember basic things

• Feeling flat or teary for no real reason

• Anxious, overwhelmed, or tired but wired

Sound familiar?

Before you chalk it up to being “too emotional” or “just tired,” take a moment and consider this:
It might not be your mindset. It might be your hormones.

Your Mood Isn’t Random — It’s Hormonal

Hormones are like tiny chemical messengers running the show behind the scenes. They regulate your sleep, energy, digestion, stress levels, metabolism, and yes — your emotions. When even one of these messengers falls out of sync, the ripple effect can feel like emotional chaos.

Let’s break it down:

• Too much cortisol (your stress hormone) can make you feel anxious, jumpy, or like you’re constantly “on.”

• Low progesterone can leave you feeling teary, flat, or restless at night.

• Estrogen swings can bring mood swings, brain fog, irritability, and even a drop in confidence.

• Insulin imbalance can lead to crashes in energy and cravings that mess with your emotional regulation.

• Thyroid hormones affect everything from motivation to metabolism — and when low, they can leave you feeling low too.

Your emotional rollercoaster might not be “just in your head.” It could be your hormones waving a red flag.

So What Can You Do About It?

Balancing hormones doesn’t mean going to extremes or loading up on medications you don’t need. The first and most powerful step is to support your body in reaching equilibrium naturally.

That’s where your lifestyle — and your supplements — come in.

Are you feeling “off” lately — maybe your sleep is out of whack, your moods seem unpredictable, or your periods are becoming less predictable than your daily coffee cravings?

Welcome to perimenopause — a powerful and often misunderstood phase in a woman’s life. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. At Beauty of Action, we believe this chapter of life is not a signal of loss, but an invitation to reconnect with your body, recalibrate your health, and redefine your power.

What Is Perimenopause (And Are You In It)?

Perimenopause is the natural, transitional stage before menopause, typically beginning in a woman’s 40s — though for some, it may start in the late 30s or even earlier. This phase can last anywhere from a few months to several years, marked by fluctuating hormone levels that influence everything from your menstrual cycle to your energy, mood, and metabolism.

Common signs of perimenopause include:

• Irregular menstrual cycles (heavier, lighter, shorter, or skipped periods)

• Hot flashes and night sweats

• Mood swings and irritability

• Sleep disturbances or insomnia

• Vaginal dryness

• Decreased libido

• Unexpected weight gain

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone — and you’re not powerless.

Why This Time Matters

While these symptoms can be frustrating, they’re also a wake-up call from your body. Perimenopause is your body’s way of saying, “Hey, something’s changing. Let’s work together.”

This is the perfect time to refocus on self-care, prioritize mental and physical wellness, and build habits that support you through perimenopause — and beyond.

Natural Solutions for a Smoother Transition

Managing perimenopause is not just about enduring symptoms. It’s about thriving through intentional choices and holistic wellness strategies.

Some of the most effective natural approaches include:

• Regular exercise to boost mood and balance hormones

• Balanced, nutrient-dense meals to support metabolism and energy

• Stress-reduction practices like yoga, breathwork, and journaling

• Quality sleep — crucial for hormone regulation

• Supplement support to fill nutritional gaps and promote hormonal harmony

And speaking of supplements, we can’t talk about supporting perimenopausal health without mentioning our favorite companion during this transition:

Because this is your time — and we’re here to help you thrive through it.

Isolation was tough for pretty much everyone. And I know a lot of us have taken some comfort in chocolate over this period.

No shame in that, it’s been tough.

Not only that, but isolation is BORING! Which brings with it the temptation to snack, just for something to do.

But we run the risk of not just taking those extra iso-kilos out of lockdown with us, we might take the habits too.

So if you want to stop those habits in their tracks and feel healthier than you did before Covid 19 hit, here are some tips for truly healthy weight loss.

First off, hydrate! Drink water.

I mean it. Take a sip of that water.

No, more. More. Now we’re getting somewhere.

Hydration is truly the first step to healthy weight loss. Especially if the reason we put on weight in the first place was due to snacking.

Did you know that the feeling of hunger and the feeling of thirst are incredibly similar and therefore easy to confuse with each other?

It’s true. So here’s something that we should all start doing today. Before you reach for those chips or even an apple, have a few sips of water.

Make sure you’ve had a good drink and then give it a few minutes. If you’re still feeling peckish, help yourself to a healthy snack. The apple was a pretty good choice.

Portion control is often spouted as an important factor in weight loss but hydration helps here too. Drink a glass of water before every meal. Doing so will kick start your metabolism but also ensure that you eat as much as you need, instead of as much as you feel like eating.

Secondly, there are some foods that can help you to control the mechanisms in your body that influence weight gain and loss.

It almost sounds too good to be true doesn’t it? But it’s really not all that out there – the things you eat obviously have a huge effect on your body. You rely on the food and things you consume to provide your body with all the things it needs to function. That means that your hormones and other functions are influenced by the food you eat.

For example, your body uses chemicals to signal to your brain when you’re hungry and when you’re full. Instead of relying purely on will power to control whether you beat the munchies, you can give your body some guarana seed extract. This extract can actually help you feel satiated and reduce those hunger pains.

Cinnamon bark extract can help reduce cravings too. It is useful for maintaining normal blood glucose levels. Glucose is the fuel your body runs on. If your blood detects that it isn’t carrying enough glucose it triggers the release of hormones that signal that you need to eat. Regulating your blood sugar helps prevent those hunger pains.

Now, you know I’m not going to make you hunt down guarana seed and cinnamon bark extracts. Our day drops have both of those, not to mention other ingredients that boost your metabolism, support digestion and control hormones that cause weight gain.

Paired with this we have our night drops working with the ingredients in the day drops to support your body. The ingredients in these drops are focused on improving sleep and lessening stress.

When you are stressed your body releases Cortisol which is directly related to fat storage in your body. It’s the same chemical that is released when you’re tired.

We know stress and lack of sleep aren’t great for our bodies but it turns out they can contribute to weight gain too! As if they needed to be worse.

But our night drops help combat these, ensuring you are less stressed and more well rested so that your body doesn’t feel the need to let cortisol out.

For example, it contains holy basil powder which directly lowers cortisol levels. It also encourages relaxation with Astragalus root powder.

Taken together, these drops are a powerful tool for healthy weight loss.

Just add water and your weight loss is in the bag!

Understanding and Managing Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): Causes, Triggers & Relief Strategies

Atopic dermatitis—commonly known as eczema—is a chronic skin condition that affects nearly 32% of people in the United States. It’s marked by inflamed, red, dry, itchy, and scaly patches of skin that can crack or become rough. While eczema often appears in infancy, it can persist through adolescence and into adulthood if left unaddressed.

Though eczema isn’t contagious, it can seriously impact quality of life by affecting sleep, confidence, and comfort. Understanding the causes and triggers of eczema can help you better manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups.

What Causes Eczema?

There is no single cause of eczema. The condition usually results from a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors.

If one or both parents have had eczema, asthma, or hay fever, there’s a much greater chance their child may also develop eczema. This is known as atopic tendency—a hereditary predisposition to allergic conditions.

On top of genetics, certain external factors can trigger or worsen eczema. These include:

Common Eczema Triggers:

• Irritants: Soaps, detergents, shampoos, disinfectants, and fragrances can break down the skin’s natural barrier.

• Allergens: Dust mites, pollen, mold, pet dander, and dandruff often trigger eczema flare-ups.

• Microbes: Bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus), viruses, and fungi can worsen eczema or lead to infections.

• Climate Extremes: Both hot and cold weather can irritate sensitive skin and make eczema worse.

• Food Allergens: Dairy, eggs, wheat, soy, and nuts are common food-related triggers, especially in children.

• Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in estrogen levels can worsen eczema, especially during pregnancy, menstruation, or menopause.

• Clothing: Rough fabrics like wool or synthetics can irritate skin, as can tight-fitting clothes that prevent air flow.

The Role of Stress in Eczema

One of the most overlooked—but powerful—triggers of eczema is stress. Psychological stress doesn’t just make you feel overwhelmed—it affects your entire immune system.

When you’re stressed, your body releases cortisol, a hormone that increases inflammation throughout the body. For eczema sufferers, this can mean more frequent, longer, or more severe flare-ups.

Managing stress is crucial to managing eczema. Try:

• Meditation or breathwork

• Gentle walks or yoga

• Listening to music

• Warm baths (with no harsh soaps)

• Regular sleep and rest

Reducing stress won’t cure eczema, but it can dramatically improve your ability to control it.

I Have Eczema—What Can I Do?

Dealing with eczema can be frustrating. The symptoms—itching, dryness, and inflammation—can be not only uncomfortable but also emotionally draining, especially when they affect visible areas like the face, neck, or hands.

Here are some effective, natural strategies to help manage eczema and prevent future flare-ups:

1. Identify and Avoid Your Triggers

Track your symptoms and note what may have caused them. Eliminating or reducing exposure to known triggers is the first step to long-term relief.

2. Moisturize Frequently

Dry skin worsens eczema. Use a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, natural moisturizer at least twice a day—especially after bathing. Look for ingredients like shea butter, ceramides, or colloidal oatmeal.

3. Use Anti-Itch Creams

Over-the-counter creams like 1% hydrocortisone can reduce itching and inflammation. Apply it after moisturizing, not before. For severe flare-ups, speak with your doctor about prescription options.

4. Don’t Scratch!

Yes, it’s hard—but scratching only damages the skin more and increases the risk of infection. Instead, gently press the itchy area or use cold compresses.

5. Wear Soft, Breathable Clothing

Loose-fitting clothes made from cotton or bamboo allow your skin to breathe. Avoid wool or synthetic fabrics that may cause irritation.

6. Take Lukewarm Baths

Hot water strips natural oils from your skin. Bathe in lukewarm water for 10–15 minutes, then pat (don’t rub!) your skin dry and apply moisturizer immediately.

7. Try Skin-Supporting Products

Some natural skincare solutions can help restore moisture and reduce irritation. The Beauty of Action’s skin solutions are designed to help rebalance moisture and support skin healing during and after flare-ups.

When to See a Doctor

If your eczema becomes painful, weepy, or infected—or if over-the-counter treatments don’t help—consult a dermatologist. They may recommend:

• Prescription corticosteroids

• Antihistamines for severe itching

• Immunosuppressive therapies

• Light (phototherapy) treatment

• Biologics for severe, treatment-resistant cases

Final Thoughts: Take Control of Your Skin Health

Eczema may be persistent, but it’s manageable. By understanding your triggers, building a consistent skincare routine, and managing your stress levels, you can reduce flare-ups and feel more confident in your skin.

You don’t have to suffer silently. Relief is possible—with the right knowledge, tools, and support.
