January is always a little raw. The year ahead stretches before us like a blank page: full of possibility, yet heavy with expectation. New Year resolutions often tell us to do more, fix more, be more. But what if the real transformation begins not with doing, but with listening?
Your body has been speaking to you all along, through bloating, low energy, restless sleep, and subtle mood shifts. These signals aren’t annoyances to ignore; they are messages guiding you toward your next chapter. The first step to feeling balanced, energised, and in control is learning to read them honestly.
This month, we’re talking about self-honesty, starting with the way you nourish, support, and care for yourself from the inside out. Wellness isn’t just a checklist; it’s a dialogue with your body, one that starts with listening.
Hormones, Gut Health, and You
It’s easy to underestimate how much our hormones and gut health shape the way we feel every day. Mood fluctuations, PMS, bloating, fatigue, and irregular cycles aren’t just inconvenient; they’re signals from your body asking for attention. Ignoring them is like trying to drive a car while the warning lights are flashing – possible, but inefficient and stressful.
For young women, this stage of life can be uniquely tricky. Work stress, social pressures, shifting routines, and dietary habits all interact with natural hormonal cycles, often creating a perfect storm of symptoms that feel normal but aren’t ideal. This is where awareness matters.
Hormones and the gut are deeply connected. When digestion suffers, nutrient absorption dips, energy declines, and hormonal balance can wobble. Conversely, when hormonal fluctuations impact stress or sleep, digestion and gut comfort can follow suit. These cycles are natural, but they don’t have to be disruptive – understanding the connection is the first step toward managing it with intention.
Some key signs your body is trying to tell you something:
- Energy fluctuations: Afternoon crashes or waking up still tired may indicate adrenal or thyroid stress.
- Digestive discomfort: Bloating, irregularity, or discomfort may point to gut imbalance.
- Mood shifts: Irritability, anxiety, or sudden low mood could reflect hormonal imbalances.
- Sleep disruption: Difficulty falling or staying asleep often ties back to both gut and hormone health.
By acknowledging these signals, you’re not just treating symptoms but rather actively participating in your own wellbeing. And that’s where tools like Happy Mammoth’s products can make a real difference.
Elevating the Standard of Women’s Wellness
Founded eight years ago by Matthew Murphy, Happy Mammoth was born from a simple idea: women deserve supplements that are thoughtfully formulated, backed by science, and designed specifically for their needs. Murphy saw a gap in the market: products that promised results but were generic, low-quality, or one-size-fits-all. He set out to change that.
Every formulation is developed in-house, meaning Happy Mammoth controls every ingredient, dosage, and product outcome. This ensures women receive supplements that are effective, safe, and genuinely supportive of hormonal and gut health. Their philosophy is simple: get your old self back naturally with quality you can feel, and results you can trust.
The brand is also deeply committed to transparency and empowerment. Happy Mammoth isn’t just selling supplements but is committed to educating women about their bodies, helping them understand the hidden signals they’ve been ignoring, and creating a community of support.

Your New Year, Your Next Chapter
Wellness isn’t just about supplements; it’s about creating rituals that honour your body’s needs. Integrating Happy Mammoth products into daily life transforms small acts into intentional moments of care.
Morning Ritual:
- Start with a journal entry, noting how you feel, your intentions for the day, or a secret you’ve been holding.
- Blend Prebiotic Collagen Protein into your breakfast and take two Hormone Harmony tablets for gut support and sustained energy.
- Hydrate with warm water or herbal tea to aid digestion.
- A short stretch or yoga session to wake the body gently.
Evening Ritual:
- Reflect on the day: what emotions or stressors did you notice?
Take a few minutes to meditate, journal, or perform a simple gratitude practice. - Incorporate your last two Hormone Harmony tablets to support sleep and hormonal balance overnight.
- End with a calming routine, dim lights, and an intentional pause.
By pairing supplementation with ritual, women create a holistic system of listening, responding, and supporting themselves – exactly the kind of radical honesty this magazine issue celebrates.
Your Body’s Secrets Deserve to Be Heard
Burn After Reading is about radical honesty with yourself, your emotions, and your body. For too long, women have ignored the signs from within, brushing aside gut discomfort, mood swings, or fatigue as “normal.” But what if these signals were actually opportunities?
Happy Mammoth encourages women to embrace the truth about their bodies, decode the messages, and respond intentionally. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about alignment. It’s about saying: I see you, body. I hear you, mind. I’m ready to act with care and clarity.
Your body’s secrets are meant to be heard and Happy Mammoth is here to help women balance hormones, support digestion, and step confidently into the year ahead.
