Aging is a privilege—but let’s be real, it also comes with some unexpected shifts. In our 40s and beyond, we may start noticing small signs that our bodies aren’t bouncing back like they used to:

• A little more stiffness in the morning

• Achy joints after a walk

• That uncomfortable snap, crackle, and pop in your knees

• Restless sleep or leg cramps that strike out of nowhere

Sound familiar?

These changes are natural—but they’re also a wake-up call. As we enter this beautiful new stage of life, it’s time to give our bones, joints, and muscles the extra support they need to keep us active, independent, and feeling like ourselves.

Why Midlife Women Need to Prioritize Bone Health

Bone health isn’t just about avoiding fractures. It’s about maintaining mobility, strength, and freedom as we age. Here’s the truth:
Starting in our 30s, we gradually begin to lose bone density. For women, this process can accelerate after menopause due to hormonal changes—especially the decline in estrogen, which plays a key role in bone maintenance.

If we don’t take proactive steps, we increase our risk for:

• Osteopenia and osteoporosis

• Fractures from simple slips

• Muscle weakness and instability

• Poor sleep and recurring muscle cramps

But here’s the good news: It’s never too late to build a stronger foundation.

The Power Trio: Calcium, Magnesium, and Vitamin D

To support bone strength and muscular function, three nutrients stand out:

1. Calcium – the essential mineral that makes up the structure of bones and teeth.

2. Magnesium – helps the body absorb calcium and plays a role in nerve and muscle function.

3. Vitamin D – aids in calcium absorption and supports immune health and mood balance.

Together, they form the ultimate trio for staying mobile, strong, and energized.

But not all supplements are created equal. You need the right forms and ratios of these nutrients so your body can actually absorb and use them effectively.

If you’ve been hitting the gym, cutting carbs, sipping green smoothies—but that stubborn weight around your belly just won’t budge—this blog is for you. 😩

Especially if you’re a woman over 40, you might be overlooking one of the most powerful, yet underrated, tools in your weight loss journey: SLEEP. Yep, real, restorative, deep sleep. 😴

Let’s break down why getting enough high-quality Zzz’s is a non-negotiable for hormone balance, stress management, metabolism—and yes, shedding pounds after 40.

🌙 Sleep Isn’t a Luxury—It’s a Weight Loss Superpower

Here’s the thing: after age 40, your body begins to change in ways you can’t always see—but you can definitely feel. Estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol (your stress hormone) all start fluctuating. That can lead to insomnia, stress eating, weight gain, and emotional exhaustion.

If this sounds familiar, keep reading—because sleep can reset everything.

🔄 It Regulates Hormones That Control Hunger

Lack of sleep causes ghrelin (your “hunger” hormone) to spike and leptin (your “I’m full” hormone) to plummet. That’s why you wake up craving muffins and mac n’ cheese. Hormonal chaos = mindless snacking and belly bloat.

🔥 Deep Sleep Boosts Your Metabolism

Your body burns calories while you sleep, especially in the REM and deep stages. It’s when your body repairs itself, builds lean muscle, and fine-tunes your metabolism. Less sleep = slower metabolism = stubborn fat.

😰 Poor Sleep = More Stress = More Belly Fat

If you’re not sleeping well, your cortisol levels stay elevated, making your body store more fat—especially around the midsection. Worse? You’ll crave sugar and carbs to “cope,” starting a vicious cycle.

💪 It Builds Lean Muscle

You don’t get stronger while lifting weights—you get stronger while resting afterward. Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat does, so quality sleep is key to increasing fat-burning muscle mass.

Have you ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of starting a new diet on Monday—only to give up by Friday and feel like you’ve “failed” again? You’re not alone. So many women are caught in the exhausting loop of diet culture, chasing quick results, only to end up right back where they started—frustrated, tired, and overwhelmed.

But what if the problem isn’t you? What if the problem is the diet itself?

It’s time to shift the conversation. Let’s break down the real difference between a diet and a lifestyle—and why understanding this is the first step to lasting, life-giving change.

🚨 What Is a Diet?
A diet is often marketed as a solution—but it usually comes with rigid rules, timelines, and unrealistic expectations. Here’s what most diets really look like:

Short-Term Focus: Diets are designed to deliver quick wins. But when the focus is just on shedding pounds fast, the changes rarely stick.

Restrictive Rules: Eliminate carbs. Cut out sugar. Skip meals. While these rules might create short-term weight loss, they also spike cravings and leave you feeling deprived.

All-or-Nothing Mentality: One “off-plan” meal feels like failure, leading to guilt and often a spiral of overeating or giving up altogether.

Unsustainable Results: Most people regain the weight (and sometimes more) once they stop following the plan, leading to discouragement and self-blame.

The truth? Diets rarely consider the whole person. They don’t address hormones, sleep, energy, stress, or mindset—all key players in your overall health.

🌟 What Is a Lifestyle?
Now let’s talk about what really creates transformation: a lifestyle.

A healthy lifestyle isn’t about restriction—it’s about alignment. It’s a way of living that works with your body, not against it. Here’s how it’s different:

Long-Term Sustainability: A lifestyle is built around realistic habits that you can maintain for life—not just for 30 days.

Balance Over Perfection: You learn how to enjoy your favorite foods in a way that supports your goals without guilt or shame.

Whole-Body Wellness: True health is about more than just the number on the scale. A lifestyle approach improves hormone balance, energy levels, mental clarity, mood, and even sleep quality.

Empowerment Through Consistency: You’re no longer controlled by external rules. You create a rhythm that supports your energy, your values, and your goals.

🌿 Why the Shift Matters
The diet cycle teaches us to punish our bodies—to shrink, restrict, and constantly start over. A lifestyle, on the other hand, is about building a foundation of self-respect. It’s about listening to your body, honoring your needs, and creating habits that fit your real life.

When you embrace a lifestyle approach, you begin to:

Eat in a way that supports your hormones and metabolism

Feel more energized and less dependent on caffeine or sugar

Improve digestion, sleep, and focus

Release the all-or-nothing mindset and feel in control of your choices

Build confidence—not just because of how you look, but how you feel

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.
