You might think that this weirddddd but once you start tongue scraping, you can never go back.

Us and our guys have been doing it for 3+ years at this point!

What is tongue scraping?
👅 An Ayurvedic tradition where you clean your tongue every morning as part of your daily oral hygiene routine (along with regular brushing and flossing of the teeth)

Why do we tongue scrape?
👅 If you think about it, your tongue has a ton of food particles that linger around. You might see it as a thick white coating on your tongue!

This coating can also cause bad breath, toxicity and just overall poor oral hygiene. We're not kidding when we say it's so therapeutic and cleansing to see the bacteria build up get scraped off our tongues first thing in the morning!

This prevents reabsorption of the toxins that your body worked tirelessly to get rid of!

Other benefits of tongue scraping are...
➡️ It enhances your sense of taste! Lfgggg!
➡️ It promotes overall oral and digestive health
➡️ It gently stimulates the internal organs
➡️ It raises your awareness of your state of health

HOW TO TONGUE SCRAPE:

👅 Buy a tongue scraper (you can get them off Amazon, I'll share my favorite copper one in the stories) *You can buy a tongue scraper that is made of gold, silver, metal, copper, tin or brass. To reduce your exposure to BPAs, avoid buying plastic tongue scrapers.

👅The tongue should be GENTLY scraped from back to front for 7 to 14 strokes. Do not scrape too hard!

👅 Clean the tongue scraper thoroughly after each use.

👅Overtime, we like to boil our tongue scrapers to thoroughly disinfect it.

Do you tongue scrape or do you plan to start doing it!?

Cycle syncing wasn't always easy for us....

When we first learned about the power of strategically planning your life around your cycle in 2017, our minds were BLOWN. 🤯

We felt like it myth busted every single thing we’ve ever known about our female bodies and psyche.

Cue the excitement, but also sense of overwhelm - The complex science, graphs of our hormone fluctuations, specifics on each phase, what to do, when/how to do it, wondering how to customize it to our own Individual cycles.

It took YEARS make cycle syncing a lifestyle. We failed a lot in the beginning …we’d do it one week, then skip the next, try it out for a month, fall off track the following months, etc.
.But we'd ALWAYS come back after reminding ourselves how good we felt doing it.

The path for learning how to align your life is not going to be linear. It's a freaking LIFESTYLE, which means ➡️ TRIAL & ERROR, EFFORT, and TIME to settle in & create hormone habits that stick around for the long run.

So if you're someone who is just starting to scratch the surface with it...KEEP SHOWING UP FOR YOURSELF. Take it slow, try one new tactic a month & see how you feel. It's not about perfection - it's about finding what works for you & your body.

If you want a little shortcut tho, we're here for you. We’ve come up with our own structured plan that clarifies the complex & helps you implement a cycle strategy over a 4-month period until it becomes part of your life.

Cue the birth of our POWER OF PERIODIZATION program…and when you’re a client, you leave POP feeling CONFIDENT in your cycle....
💥Confident in your ability to recognize your 4 phases and cater to it’s needs.
💥Confident at the grocery store.
💥Confident at the gym.
💥Confident in how to troubleshoot.
💥Confident on how to get further help when things are off.
💥Confident and fully reconnected with your inner superpowers.

Your hormones are your life and we are here to help make you the happiest and healthiest you can be inside of POP.

My wisdom tooth broke through the skin last week + caused a big infection in my mouth. 🦷 Turns out, I have to get all 4 wisdom teeth removed but in the mean time I need to take care of this bacterial infection.

My dentist prescribed me an ANTIBIOTIC for the infection & pain meds/NSAIDS to ease the terrible pain 💊 IYKYK we prefer alternative/natural remedies first and foremost, and we try to avoid taking antibiotics or NSAIDS unless they're absolutely necessary.

Right now, it’s safe to say I need the meds! **shout out to modern medicine for taking care of my infection and easing my pain, love ya**

But why was I hesitant to take the antibiotics in the first place?

Antibiotics is derived from the greek words:
➡️ ANTI (fighting, opposing, killing)
➡️ BIOS (life)
= ANTIBIOTIC literally means life-killing (in terms of all bacteria)

Antibiotics treat infection + kill the bad bacteria. LIFE-SAVING! But they also kill the beneficial bacteria that we need to stay healthy, too.

*There are studies that show that even ONE ROUND OF ANTIBIOTICS can permanently alter your gut flora (and we all know how important your gut is for your overall health).

🤯 WILD

This is why it's absolutely imperative to take care of your gut + help repopulate that good bacteria through your diet BEFORE, DURING & LONG AFTER taking the medication.

And it's always good to have a game plan & solid support team right?

➡️ SWIPE To see my GUT-HEALTHY ARSENAL FAVORITES that I am going to be focusing on for the next month!
▫️Prebiotics & probiotics
▫️High-fiber foods
▫️Fermented foods
▫️Crowding out stimulants like alcohol, sugar and processed food (that are essentially food for the bad bacteria)
▫️Resting & relaxation

Remember, we cannot just RELY on the medication to do the trick! We have a crucial and ACTIVE role in taking care of our bodies through our diet and lifestyle choices to help expedite our body's healing process.
