Shaking, or whole-body shaking, is a natural, inst

Shaking, or whole-body shaking, is a natural, instinctual practice that has gained attention for its potential benefits for brain health. It can be triggered as a release mechanism during times of stress, tension, or trauma and is often seen in animals after a stressful event. In humans, intentional shaking has been explored for its therapeutic effects. Here are some reasons why shaking may be beneficial for brain health:

💫1. Stress Relief
Shaking helps release physical tension stored in the body, which is often associated with stress. Chronic stress is known to negatively affect the brain, particularly areas like the hippocampus, which is critical for memory and learning. By reducing stress, shaking can help restore a more balanced state of mind.

💫 2. Trauma Release
Trauma, whether emotional or physical, is often stored in the body, leading to a "fight or flight" response even when the danger has passed. Shaking has been used in trauma release exercises (like TRE - Trauma Release Exercises) to help the body discharge the excess energy and recalibrate the nervous system. This discharge helps reduce the long-term negative effects of trauma on the brain.

💫3. Activating the Parasympathetic Nervous System
Shaking can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, the "rest and digest" system of the body, which counteracts the stress-inducing sympathetic nervous system. When the body shifts into a parasympathetic state, the brain experiences relaxation, allowing for better cognitive function and emotional regulation.

💫4. Enhanced Neuroplasticity
Shaking may help promote neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize itself. Stress and trauma can inhibit neuroplasticity, while releasing tension through shaking may encourage the brain to make new connections and improve learning and memory.

Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT): A safe, effective option for many women experiencing perimenopause or menopause.

Benefits may include:
• Reducing hot flashes, insomnia, and low energy
• Easing mood changes, anxiety, and depression
• Combating weight gain, muscle loss, and low libido
• Improving brain fog, memory loss, and sleep issues
• Helping with hair thinning, hormonal acne, and joint pain

MHT may also lower the risk of osteoporosis, dementia, heart disease, and more.

Interested? Reach out for a screening to see if MHT is right for you. Not all women are candidates, and careful monitoring is essential.
