    How do you know what stage you are in?

    Weight Loss Drugs - Are they Good or Bad?

    Weight Loss Drugs - Are they Good or Bad?

    There is an obesity crisis around the world and the statistics are concerning. 


    95% of Americans have some kind of metabolic disorder eg; insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes.
    6 in 10 Americans have a chronic disease and 4 in 10 people have more than 1 chronic disease.
    Type 2 diabetes, cardio vascular disease and other chronic conditions continue to rise.
    Over 1 billion people worldwide are classified as obese & over 2 billion are classified as overweight.

    Australia's statistics are much the same.

    Is it any wonder why people are desperate for a
    quick solution and that these quick solutions are also on the rise?
    But, how safe are they for you? What are the benefits vs the side effects? What do the studies show and do these 'solutions' offer a long-term fix?
    It's a tricky one to navigate in a culture of immediacy so let's dive in to this one together and explore how you can teach your body to be more metabolically flexible. 

    Learn more about this in my upcoming FREE 4 Day Workshop, The Secret to Thriving in Menopause without HRT. Starting 20th May.

    Why Do You Promote Against HRT?

    Why Do You Promote Against HRT?

    In this episode I address the question I am often asked, Why do you promote against HRT?

    The short answer is, I don't. I am pro-choice and believe this should be each individuals choice, not my choice or that of a Dr but yours.

    It is important to be educated on the risks and benefits when making that choice as some women do need HRT, some simply can not take it, some women try it and it doesn't work for them, others choose not to take it and are looking for an alternative and naturopathic approach. This is where my scope of practice lies.

    Join me for the next 20 minutes as I dig deeper into the topic of HRT and in the context of what is actually happening to your body during this stage of life. I'll offer some information for you to consider to make the right choice for you.

    If you want to understand more about menopause, I am offering a free Menopause Demystified Masterclass (no sales pitches).
