In this honest, informative, and heart-expanding conversation, I sit down with Dr Andrea Robertson — osteopath, naturopath, nutritionist, and women’s health coach — to talk about midlife, hormones, and what it really means to thrive through change.
Having known each other for over a decade, our chat is as candid as it is clarifying. Andrea explains the physiology behind perimenopause and menopause, why what used to work for our bodies no longer does, and how to support ourselves holistically through movement, nourishment, rest, and mindset.
We also talk about body image, self-compassion, and the power of redefining health on our own terms — beyond numbers on a scale or outdated conditioning.
Highlights include:💬 Understanding the science behind hormonal shifts in your 40s and 50s.💬 Reframing midlife as recalibration — not decline.💬 How cortisol, nutrition, and rest all work together to support hormone balance.💬 Why strength training, sleep, and nourishment matter more than ever.💬 The link between self-compassion and consistency in healthy habits.
“Midlife isn’t a decline. It’s a recalibration.” — Dr Andrea Robertson
