    PCOS, Endometriosis and Fibroids: Natural Support for Women's Health

    Send a text Today I'm tackling 3 lesser-known period-related conditions that affect millions of women: PCOS, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. These conditions are often misdiagnosed, dismissed, or women suffer for years before getting proper support. If you're dealing with any of these, I want you to know you're not alone - and there are natural ways to support your body that your GP probably hasn't told you about. In this episode, I'm covering: PCOS: Affects 1 in 10 women (but 50% are undiagnosed!). I'm explaining what's really happening in your body, why those cysts aren't actually the problem, and the emotional impact that shouldn't be underestimated. Endometriosis: Also affects 1 in 10 women, but here's the shocking bit - it takes an average of 8 YEARS to get diagnosed. Eight years of suffering before anyone believes you. I'm sharing why women are so often dismissed and my top tips for getting the diagnosis and support you deserve. Uterine Fibroids: 1 in 3 women aged 30-50 develop them. I'm explaining what they are, who's most at risk, and what actually helps. I'm also revealing the supplements that support all three conditions, the dietary changes that made a significant difference for women I've worked with, and how constitutional homeopathic treatment addresses the root cause rather than just masking symptoms. One of my tips involves a simple dietary switch that many women don't know about but can dramatically reduce symptoms. Another is about trusting yourself when healthcare professionals aren't listening. This episode is packed with practical information you can use today. If you've been suffering for years or struggling to get answers from your GP, listen to this. Support the show Thank you for listening to Homeopath in Your Pocket!

    Period Myths Busted: Natural Relief for Painful Periods and PMT

    Send a text Did you know most of what we've been told about periods is actually wrong? Today I'm busting 5 massive period myths that keep women suffering unnecessarily - and trust me, once you hear the truth, you'll wonder why no one told you this sooner. As mum to a 12-year-old daughter navigating puberty, I've been thinking about periods a lot lately. The problem? So much of what we're taught is simply not true, and these myths leave us accepting pain, heavy bleeding, and awful PMT as "just part of being a woman." Spoiler alert: it doesn't have to be this way. In this episode, I'm busting myths about: Why your cycle doesn't need to be exactly 28 daysWhen you actually ovulate (it's probably not when you think!)Whether period pain and PMT are really "normal"How many contraceptive options you actually have (way more than you realise!)What the first signs of puberty really areI'm also revealing what a truly healthy cycle looks like, my top homeopathic remedies for period pain and PMT, and practical steps you can take today to support your hormones naturally. One of the myths I'm busting is THE BIG ONE that keeps women suffering for years. Hunter-gatherer women didn't have the symptoms we accept as normal today - so what's changed? And more importantly, what can you do about it? If you're tired of suffering every month, or if you want to support your daughter through puberty naturally, this episode is packed with information that will genuinely change how you think about your cycle.
