Becoming better understood. So ive had a bit of a rubbish day today with feeling quite anxious. I had quite a bad nights sleep last night. Hey, so im just between cases today at work. Ijust had a quite embarrassing hot flush. Im struggling with the light. Im struggling to see. So, its 6am on Sunday Morning and im wide awake. Ive been perimenopausal for the last. Seven or so years. Definitely one of the most challenging symptoms ive found over the last few years has been the brain fog. Im trying not to be too, erm, too upset about it. Maybe, though, the way that womens Reproductive Health plays out doesnt need to be inevitable. Ive been to meet some scientists who are working on the idea of Delaying Menopause. At the Buck Institute for aging in california, Neuroscientistjennifer Garrison studies the connection between the brain and the ovaries. Menopause is basically what happens when a womans ovaries stop working. Essentially, it leads to a whole host of really Dramatic Health conseque
Menopause is basically what happens when a womans ovaries stop working. The access to these kind of data basically allow us to read the dna of over 200,000 women who are menopausal. The digital platform providing a safe space for women. Communia is a first of its Kind Social Network that builds for social health. So you can connect with yourself as much as you connect with others. And the ai generated couture collection. It was something that i wanted to wear in the metaverse, but it was also something i wanted to wear in real life. No longer taboo, the menopause has finally become a hot topic, with what many women can go through hopefully becoming better understood.

less energy, less water. the big benefit here is that i can recycle this along with my paper waste. and even if i didn t, it would just take several years to break down instead of thousands of years. i can also feel that the bag is stronger than paper, albeit not quite as strong as plastic. clearly, though, this won t be able to replace all kinds of plastic. but another finnish alternative does have the tough, mouldable qualities needed for cosmetics or food. it s almost impossible to guess that these aren t plastic. it is only close up that you can see its natural origins, and that is wood combine with natural binders and dyes. so our material biodegrades almost exactly the same time period as the same thickness of wood. microbes are able to eat our material and then our material biodegrades into c02, water and biomass.
