    #123 Evolving: Finding Health & Happiness As We Age with Judy Bailey

    For New Zealanders, Judy Bailey ONZM is a household name, similar to Australia's Kerri-Anne Kennerley or America's Diane Sawyer.

    Originally trained as a journalist, Judy went on to become an immensely popular newsreader, presenting primetime news for many years.

    Evolving is peppered with some of Judy's personal stories as well as the latest findings of growing older.

    It serves as a brilliant handbook for anyone entering midlife and beyond covering everything to do with health and wellbeing in two parts.

    From nutrition to dementia, death, grief and resilience Judy tackles the good and the bad including the subjects nobody wants to talk about.

    I hope you enjoy our conversation.

    #121 Navigating Menopause With Therapeutic Essential Oils

    #121 Navigating Menopause With Therapeutic Essential Oils

    Dr Bo Hendgen DO ND is the founder and CEO of Absolute Essential, a New Zealand-based company.

    Absolute Essential designs 100% organic, premium quality essential plant oil products of the highest therapeutic value.

    Born in Germany, Dr Bo grew up in France and studied aromatic medicine there.

    If you’ve never heard of it before this type of healing looks at the science of therapeutic essential oils.

    Additionally, Dr Bo is a naturopathic doctor, a doctor of osteopathy and holds a PhD in paediatrics. 

    She says the first thing to remember when using therapeutic essential oils is they’re powerful.

    As such, these aromatics – ‘concentrated substances extracted from the flowers, stems, roots, bark, leaves or seeds of a plant’ – have been used for centuries.

    “When oils are extracted with care, their life force is maintained and can be recognised by human biology,” says Dr Bo. “Breathing in the scent of an essential oil takes it to the bloodstream via the lungs and the brain via the olfactory system. In addition, the skin (epidermis) can absorb these therapeutic oils, and they travel to your blood from there.”

    For this reason, essential oils should be treated as the potent forces of nature that they are.

    Listen as Dr Bo explains the best essential oils to use during every stage of menopause.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    Recommended oils for perimenopause and post-menopause (1:33)
    The difference between essential oils and carrier oils (2:10)
    Beneficial essential oils for hormonal balance in women (3:06)
    HIghly recommended carrier oils (5:16)
    Key menopause signs and symptoms (8:45)
    What can you do about itchy lady parts + recipe (10:46)
    Creating essential oil (and people) blends effectively (14:18)
    The correct application of essential oils (16:44)
    Bath wisdom including recommended times and temperature (18:43)
    Tips for before you go to bed (19:33)
    The extraction process and its influence on essential oils (21:20)
    About the birth control pill and HRT (23:34)
    Finding your personalised journey to wellness (26:01)
