117: Lifestyle First: Beyond Pills and Potions

The Hormone Hub

I am constantly asked about "the thing" that will fix whatever our big health bugbear is ... crazy hormones, digestive issues, anxiety, weight gain, hair loss, not sleeping, and so on. Generally, the answer women are looking for is the magic supplement or type of diet, or which dose of HRT, but the glaring reality is, if we want things to be different, we need to do things differently. Fresh from our latest Bali retreat I'm feeling very inspired by the pivotal role that lifestyle plays for us - and how we need to take personal responsibility for ourselves and stop looking for a quick fix or a band aid. You are not defined by a diagnosis, a health condition or your weight, nor are you a victim. You are NOT broken - our supermarket foods and medical/pharma system (think chemist chains) is what's broken. This episode is a call to action for anyone ready to break free from this cycle that often overlooks the underlying drivers that are keeping us unwell and overweight. You can't heal a body that's in a stressed state. My challenge for you... is to have a vision for your health, what does your future look like, in 1 year, 5 years, 20 years. How energetic are you? How mobile and active are you? Are you physically able to do everything you want to? Are you calm and relaxed? Are you happy? It's what you do today that your future self will thank you for. I hope you enjoy this episode! are
