Thanks to Izzy from Perth with this week's question about weight gain in Perimenopause and Menopause. It's no surprise that there's a hormonal link to this unfortunate side effect of this life transition but there are other factors at play too.

From the loss of muscle mass to the mindset around food and lifestyle choices, the weight gain of peri/menopause can be complex but the management of it follows the same principles with an approach of - 

Food
Mindset
Stress Management
Movement
Gut Health

Ever thought of turning to plant nutrients -phytoestrogens- as a substitute for oestrogen? Well, thanks to Mia from Coffs Harbour with her question about this as I'm here to debunk that as a myth and more on this Q&A episode of the podcast. As a seasoned Naturopath and Clinical Nutritionist, I'm happy to share my insights on phytoestrogens, and here's a hint - they don't serve as a direct oestrogen substitute, but they do have some great health benefits, like preventing hormone-sensitive cancers, and easing symptoms of testosterone dominance.

Discover the numerous health benefits of foods rich in phytoestrogens, and why you should not rely on them to replace your oestrogen.

Hope you enjoy this ep of the pod.

Ever wondered how life's challenges contribute to our evolution? My special guest, Jenny De Lacy, a content marketing consultant, takes us on a personal journey through her health struggles, solo parenting, and how she coped with her ADHD diagnosis in her early 50s.

Listen in as Jenny explores the impacts of perimenopause and an ADHD diagnosis on her life.

She provides practical tips on how to manage your day, from starting with a simple breakfast, combatting procrastination, to integrating zen-like routines into parenting tasks.

Ever feel like you hit a wall once you reach your 40s? That's the question from Katia in Brisbane on this Q&A Thursday edition of the Ageless and Awesome podcast. In this episode I unpack how hormonal changes, particularly drops in progesterone and fluctuations in oestrogen, start a chain reaction that affects cortisol and thyroid hormones plus we delve into why these shifts drain our energy.

And the rabbit hole goes deeper - we explore the external factors that magnify this fatigue, from work stress to tricky teenagers and ageing parents, and even how our food choices can exacerbate the problem. Discover why that convenient packaged sauce or food delivery service could be sapping your energy. With tips on optimizing hydration, nutrition, and sleep, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating perimenopause and yearning for their energy back. Tune in and start taking control of your health on this journey through perimenopause and beyond.
