111: Signs and Symptoms of Perimenopause
I’m constantly being asked a LOT of questions about perimenopause... so if you’re experiencing changes in your body that leave you feeling confused and overwhelmed, you aren’t alone. Perimenopause isn't a sudden occurrence; it's more like a reverse puberty, spanning anywhere from two to ten years. During this time, hormonal fluctuations can lead to various symptoms, including anxiety, disrupted sleep, heavier periods, allergies, hot flashes, and brain fog. In today's episode of The Hormone Hub we look at why blood tests are not the best indicator of where your hormones are at, an...

The Great Soy Debate!
Should I eat soy? This is a really common question I get asked all the time and in a word – YES! Why? Because soy contains phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens get their name because they exert a weak estrogen-like effect, but they are NOT estrogen. Phytoestrogens bind so weakly to estrogen receptors and can have a mild balancing effect. They will increase the effect when estrogen levels are low, so very beneficial after menopause – and they have a lowering effect if estrogen is too high, which can also be beneficial for symptoms of estrogen excess during perime...

The immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, causing inflammation and damage to the gland. As a result, the thyroid gland is unable to produce enough thyroid hormone, leading to hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid). Hashimoto's thyroiditis affects women more often than men a...

Today, I want to talk to you about something that many of us struggle with: BALANCE! Not necessarily physical balance, or even a hormone balance (that’s coming!) ... but a balanced life. If you juggle a career, family, eating a healthy diet, exercise, and a social life … balance is the only solution. To be balanced means that you’re able to manage various elements of your life without feeling like you are struggling. Easier said than done, right? Now, I know you’re leading a very busy life, but take a few...

Special Edition - Part 4... Creating Hormone Harmony
We’ve been conditioned to take “medicine” to “fix” our symptoms. What if we have got it wrong? There is certainly a place for medicine or pharmaceuticals, I’m not disputing that, but when it comes to women’s health it’s often a band aid approach, which might relieve symptoms but doesn’t address the underlying cause. If you’ve ever been told that everything is “normal” yet you feel anything but… this could be why. When we address the underlying causes of a hormone imbalance, or low energy or difficulty losing weight or not sleepin...

Special Edition - Part 3... Your #1 Fat Storage Hormone And What To Do About It
As your estrogen and progesterone hormones fluctuate in your 40s during perimenopause, and naturally produce lower levels after 50, your body becomes more sensitive to signal a key fat storage hormone. This is the biggest change your body has undergone since puberty (well apart from pregnancy but that’s another topic for another day!). It can leave you feeling exhausted, waking up in the night, cranky and reaching for sugar, chocolate, wine and cheese just to keep you going through a busy day. And how your body burns fat (or not…) has completely changed. ...

Overcoming Worry, Anxiety and Overwhelm
There is no question that perimenopause and menopause can be a rollercoaster ride. Physical symptoms are commonly associate with menopause, things like hot flushes, night sweats, weight gain, vaginal dryness, and sleep issues. What’s less recognised though, are the very real psychological changes that come from fluctuating and decreased levels of hormones. As we lose the protective cover of (psycho-protective) estrogen we become more sensitive to stress, leading to a chronically elevated level of cortisol, which in turn suppresses our happy “feel good” hormones - namely serotonin and oxytocin and our warm and fuzzy endorphins. ...

The Estrogen Dance - Too much or not enough?
Estrogen plays a big role in our reproductive health, it gives us our boobs and curves, it is critical in helping us create healthy pregnancies and babies. On top of that, estrogen promotes new bone growth - preventing osteoporosis, and also supports our cardiovascular health and plays a role in regulating our insulin response to prevent insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. There is however a fine line between too much and not enough estrogen. Fluctuating and high estrogen, which is common during perimenopause, can trigger a range of inflammatory symptoms. Similarly low...
