Period Pain? 10 Tips to Support You

So It’s that time of the month again and you’re in pain, but everyone has period pain, right? Well, not really…

It is something we hear all the time: ‘I have period pain but my doctor said it’s normal’. What they may mean when they say this is that it’s common.

Blueberry & Peanut Butter Smoothie

This is honestly my go-to smoothie right now. It’s so nutritious, balanced and totally delicious. I’m loving getting a double dose of Marine Collagen and creaminess by including the JSHealth Collagen Creamer+ and using the JSHealth x Inside Out Unsweetened Oat Milk, which includes collagen and prebiotics! 

Add in the fibre and antioxidants from blueberries and chia seeds, plus satiating fats from the nut butter, along with out JSHealth Protein + Probiotics and you have a super nutritious blend. Try it ASAP for breakfast, a snack or dessert (yes, it’s that good!).
