    Ep.60: Pausing the Podcast for Summer: A Personal Update

    In this episode, I’m sharing a more personal update, reflecting on the podcast, what I’ve been seeing in my clients, and why I’ve decided to pause episodes over the summer. I talk about the idea of intention and how it’s shaped the way I’ve been working and living this year...from how I structure my time, to the women I’m supporting, to creating more space for deeper, more meaningful work. I also share some of the patterns I’m seeing more and more in women’s health right now; chronic stress, low energy, hormonal shifts, and a body that’s no longer tolerating the pace of life. This isn’t an ending, just a pause to create space, reflect, and come back with more clarity. If you’re listening and recognising yourself in this, feeling tired, overwhelmed, or like your body isn’t responding the way it used to..this is exactly the work I do with women inside The Radiance Method.

    Ep.59: The Wellness Trap - When Health Becomes a Project

    Many women who come to work with me feel like they’re doing everything right when it comes to their health - eating well, trying supplements, researching ways to optimise how they feel, yet they’re still experiencing symptoms like fatigue, bloating, PMS, brain fog or digestive discomfort. In this episode, I explore something I often see happening in these situations: the wellness trap. It’s the point where health becomes a long list of symptoms to fix and things to try, rather than stepping back to understand what the body might actually be responding to. We talk about why symptoms rarely appear in isolation, how patterns often connect things like digestion, hormones and energy, and why understanding the bigger picture of the body can be far more powerful than chasing individual symptoms. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still don’t feel quite like yourself, this episode will give you a new way of thinking about what might really be going on. If you’re curious about working together, you can learn more about The Radiance Method on the Work With Me page of my website: https://the-root-cause.co.uk/health-coaching/ This is where we explore the body as a whole system and support the foundations that allow your energy, digestion and hormones to function optimally.

    Ep.58: Protect Your Energy When The World Feels Heavy

    When the world feels heavy, your nervous system feels it too. In this episode, I explore how sustained stress (personal or collective) affects the body, from neurotransmitters and inflammation to gut health and sleep. We talk about the idea of a “stress bucket,” how small daily inputs add up, and why protecting your energy isn’t about hardening yourself, it’s about reducing unnecessary load and building capacity. This isn’t about ignoring reality. It’s about staying steady inside it. Instagram @therootcause1 email: nikki.spencer@the-root-cause.co.uk

    Ep.57: The Cost of Staying Comfortable

    Staying in your comfort zone sounds like:“I’ll deal with it when things calm down.”“It’s not that bad.”“I’m probably overthinking it.” I look at how this shows up in health, particularly for high-functioning women who have adapted to chronic stress, digestive issues, low energy, and feeling slightly off, while continuing to manage everything around them. This isn’t about dramatic overhauls. It’s about noticing what you’ve normalised and whether it’s still serving you. connect with me: instagram @therootcause1 email: nikki.spencer@the-root-cause.co.uk website: https://the-root-cause.co.uk/health-coaching/

    Ep.56: She thought it was her hormones...

    Most women who come to me think their hormones are the problem. And sometimes they are. But more often, hormones are responding to something deeper. In this episode, I walk you through a real client story, a capable, high-functioning woman who felt tired, reactive, and out of rhythm, despite “normal” bloodwork. We explore: • Why mineral status underpins hormone regulation• How stress silently increases mineral demand• Why labs often miss depletion• What steadiness actually means physiologically• And why you can’t supplement your way out of a stress pattern If you feel slightly off..not ill, but not fully yourself, this episode is for you. Your body doesn’t lose rhythm without reason.

    Ep.55: Do I need a gut test?

    In my practice, I am often asked: "Do I need a gut test?" Especially from women who: already eat well care deeply about their health have ongoing energy dips, hormone issues, stress And my answer: "it depends" (because of cause there is nuance). In this week's episode I have tried to answer that question and discuss: What a gut test actually is When it helps When it doesn’t Why interpretation and process matter more than the test itself I am offering a free gut test to a limited number of woman that sign up to The Radiance Method (1:1 work) by 16 February 26. If you listen to this and feel like this is the next aligned step for you, email me at: nikki.spencer@the-root-cause.co.uk Let's get your discovery call booked in this week.

    Ep.53: You’re Eating Well, So Why Don’t You Feel Better?

    If you’ve ever found yourself eating well, doing all the “right” things for your health, and still not feeling the way you hoped you would, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I explore why nutrition alone is often not enough, especially for driven, capable women who are used to pushing through and holding everything together. We talk about the deeper reason healthy habits can feel hard to sustain, even when you care deeply about your wellbeing, and why your body may not fully respond when it doesn’t feel safe, supported or listened to. I share how identity and the nervous system play a powerful role in digestion, energy, hormones and long-term health, and why lasting change doesn’t come from trying harder, but from relating differently to yourself and your body. This episode is an invitation to soften the self-blame, step out of the on-off cycle, and begin creating health from self-respect rather than pressure. Been considering working with me? Now is the perfect time.. The doors to The Radiance Method are currently open. This is my science + soul approach for women who are ready to stop forcing their health and start creating change that truly lasts. Alongside personalised, evidence-led support for digestion, hormones and energy, we also work deeply with identity, values and nervous system patterns, repatterning old ways of relating to yourself and embodying a way of living that feels grounded, supportive and sustainable. For a small number of women joining this round, I’m offering a complimentary gut test, worth over £400, to support deeper clarity and truly personalised care. This is a limited offer .
