What is Health?

Oliver Barnett

Health & Fitness

Frequency: 1 episode/2d. Total Eps: 6

After two decades in clinical practice and 25,000+ patients helped, Oliver Barnett has learned that the wellness industry answers this question too quickly and too incompletely.

Oliver is the founder of the London Clinic of Nutrition, a multidisciplinary practitioner spanning functional medicine, naturopathy, and mind-body healing and a relational therapist trained in Internal Family Systems and Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy.

His conclusion after all of it? You cannot separate the health of your body from the health of your relationships.

What is Health? is the podcast that explores exactly that. Clinically grounded, honest, and deeply human, this is the conversation most practitioners never have.

Episode 5: Perimenopause, Hormones and the Midlife Squeeze. What Women’s Health Gets Wrong

Season 1 · Episode 5

Monday, October 19, 2026 • Duration 01:45:27

Women’s health is finally getting the attention it deserves, but there’s still a long way to go. Perimenopause can begin years before periods change, and many women are told they’re “fine” while struggling with anxiety, poor sleep and symptoms that don’t fit a neat diagnosis.

In this episode of What Is Health, Oliver Barnett is joined by two guests with a special interest in women’s hormones: Dr Anu, who runs London Bioidentical Hormones and is co-author of an upcoming book, Nutrition, Hormones and Mental Health, and Daisy, a nutritional therapist at the London Clinic of Nutrition who specialises in immunity, women’s hormones and complex health conditions.

In this episode:

How women’s health has changed, from “all women do is cry and bleed” to growing attention on research and advocacy
Why perimenopause is so often missed, and why early signs can include anxiety and insomnia rather than irregular periods
The “midlife squeeze”: career, young children, ageing parents and unpaid workload, and what that does to stress and hormones
Why later motherhood is normal, and why the term “geriatric pregnancy” needs to go
Why mainstream care can be a one-size-fits-all approach, and why testing and individualised support matter
Bioidentical, body-identical and synthetic hormones explained, and why the labels confuse so many women
Endometriosis: the roles of gut health, inflammation, immune function and estrogen metabolism, plus the idea of looking after “the house that houses the hormones”
Acute vs chronic stress, why “cortisol is bad” is too simple, and how to think about it
Wellness data vs medical-grade data: how far to trust wearables and HRV scores, and when something like a glucose monitor may help
Why healthspan matters just as much as lifespan

The views shared are those of the speakers, based on their clinical experience, and are not a substitute for medical advice. Please speak to your GP or a qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to hormone therapy or supplements.
