    Menopause, Gut Health & Hormones: Why Your Body Is Speaking Louder in Midlife with Cindy | Hot Flushes & Higher Self

    If you’re navigating menopause or perimenopause and feeling like your body has changed from anxiety and poor sleep to weight gain, gut issues or low energy, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. In this episode of Hot Flushes & Higher Self, Soraya is joined by functional medicine practitioner Cindy Dupuy for a powerful conversation on menopause, hormones, gut health and the deeper root causes of midlife symptoms. Cindy shares her personal journey of going through an abrupt menopause in her early 40s during a period of intense stress, and how that experience led her into functional medicine — a root-cause approach that looks beyond symptoms to understand what the body truly needs. Together, they explore why so many women feel dismissed during perimenopause and menopause, the limitations of conventional approaches, and how a more holistic, personalised approach can create real, lasting change. This episode is especially relevant for women experiencing anxiety, sleep issues, weight changes, digestive problems, brain fog, low libido or feeling disconnected from their bodies in midlife. ✨ In this episode, they explore:  • Perimenopause and menopause symptoms — what’s really going on in the body  • The connection between hormones, gut health and emotional wellbeing  • Why so many women feel unheard or dismissed by conventional medicine  • Functional medicine and the importance of addressing root causes  • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and bioidentical hormones  • How stress and the nervous system impact midlife health  • Why symptoms are not random — and what your body is trying to tell you  • Simple daily practices to support your body and feel more balanced This conversation is a reminder that your body is not working against you — it’s communicating with you. And when you begin to listen, everything can start to shift. Ways to work with Cindy ✨ 1:1 Support (Telehealth): Cindy works with clients worldwide via Zoom, offering personalised functional medicine support for women in perimenopause and menopause. ✨ Signature Programme: Grace in Transition — an 8-week group programme supporting women through midlife with education, community, and a root-cause approach to health. ✨ Instagram: 👉 @cindy_dupuy Support the show If this episode resonated, you’re not alone.

In this episode of Hot Flushes & Higher Self, Soraya is joined by Olivia, a nervous system practitioner and energy worker, for a powerful conversation on healing beyond the mind.

What began as a search for physical recovery became a deeper reconnection to the body, safety, and self.

    Nervous System Healing & Family Patterns: Why You Feel Stuck in Midlife + How to Break the Cycle with Oxana | Hot Flushes & Higher Self

    If you’ve been doing the inner work but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in the same patterns… this episode will help you understand why. In this episode of Hot Flushes & Higher Self, Soraya is joined by Oxana, holistic practitioner and founder of Avidia, for a deeply insightful conversation about nervous system regulation, subconscious patterns and family systems — and how they shape our emotional wellbeing, relationships and sense of self, especially in midlife. Many women reach a point where mindset work alone no longer creates change. This conversation explores what lies beneath — including inherited patterns, stored emotions in the body, and the deeper healing that happens when we begin to listen inward. Oxana shares her journey into holistic healing and her work with cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy and family systemic constellations, offering a powerful perspective on why healing often requires more than just talking. Together, we explore: • why you can feel “stuck” even after doing personal development work  • how nervous system regulation creates the foundation for real change  • the impact of family systems and inherited patterns on your life  • why midlife can feel like an initiation rather than a crisis  • the connection between emotional patterns and physical symptoms  • somatic and meditative practices to reconnect with your inner wisdom  • why choosing yourself is not selfish — but necessary This episode is a powerful invitation to look beyond the mind and begin working with the deeper layers that shape how you feel, think and live. 🌿 Resources & Links: Books mentioned: It Didn't Start With You by Mark Wolynn Body holds the Score by Bessel van der Kolk Connect with Oxana https://www.avideya.co.uk/ Support the show If this episode resonated, you’re not alone.
