Top Takeaways
Protocol to change your life: Changing diet, reducing stress, incorporating meditation, low impact movements that do not increase cortisol levels (Pilates, hiking, walking). Alex specifically did this to heal her thyroid naturally.
Hustle culture of our time: Launching careers in the ‘boss babe’ and ‘hustle hard’ era was so unhealthy. Alex realized how much of it was all bullshit, and sacrificing your health for any company is not worth it. Her goal with Perelel was to embody a healthy work culture, while being a women driven company that can ‘walk the walk. Thank goodness things have taken a turn and people are prioritizing health and rest more and more.
Resets our body’s go through in life: Besides puberty, women’s bodies go through significant physical and psychological changes during motherhood. From pregnancy to postpartum, it’s a total reset for your body. It’s a time to reassess your lifestyle and start new healthy habits.
