30 Through to 50 

Birgit Spahn, Health Provider at Seriously You, confronts migraines and menopause with considered health practices

30
The perfect age. 30 years of great experiences, motherhood or great success in business at your doorstep. Getting old? I hardly think so. Fitness, health and wellbeing just part of your normal day to day routine.

Personally this is where my story starts, I started to suffer from severe migraines. Aging was not really an issue as my little ones were growing up and keeping me fit healthy and full of life. The best distraction in the world.
45
But eventually 5 years suffering of migraines caught up on me, I was barely able to recover before the next one kicked in. This is when my knowledge about herbs and natural medicine became of good use. The kids were old enough for me to put a little extra focus into what I love doing most, research in the field on medicine. I studied medicine with particular focus on hormones. This was helping battle my migraines.
50
There it was, the big Five-Oh it had snuck up on me oh so quickly, suddenly realising how quickly I had gone from being a young fit mum having my first baby at 23 and the last at 37 to entering perimenopause. Everything I had studied over the years was becoming more relevant to the issues I was dealing with on an every day basis. Hot flushes, lack of sleep, that extra bit of weight on the hips and a little word that I never thought would enter my life suddenly did, Anxiety. It was all right there in front of me. But I didn’t panic I knew I had the knowledge to welcome menopause into my life just as I welcomed my 4 children into this world. Regular cleansing of the body (via bio-cleanse herbs and other cleansing methods or products). Collagen for a good night sleep, superior muscle tone, eyesight, hearing, bone strength, gains achieved through natural hormones and supplements. And there we are 50 plus and feeling just as amazing as the day the we turned 30. Years of passion, experience and knowledge have developed my work and what I now get to share with my clients.
