    This episode discusses the often blurred lines between being a parent and trying to be your child's best friend. While being close to your child is appealing, there's a fine line between building a healthy, trusting relationship and losing sight of your role as a parent. We'll explore why striving to be your child's "bestie" can sometimes undermine your authority and why children thrive when parents provide structure, boundaries, and guidance.

  7. S2 E15 - Understanding Differences: Why HRT Isn't Suitable for Everyone

    S2 E15 - Understanding Differences: Why HRT Isn't Suitable for Everyone

    In this enlightening episode, we will discuss the complexities of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and explore why it might not be the best option for every woman experiencing menopause. While HRT can offer relief from menopausal symptoms, it comes with its own set considerations that make it unsuitable for some.   About Hannah Charman Hannah first became interested in alternative medicine when she used it to recover from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in her early teens. She graduated from Middlesex University with an honours degree in Western Herbal Medicine in 1999 and has been a practising medical herbalist ever since. Hannah now specialises in helping cancer survivors who’d prefer a natural route through menopause, combining herbal medicine with health coaching and/or hypnotherapy into tailor made treatment programmes. Hannah lives in Shropshire with her family, and loves swimming, gardening and walking in her spare time. Menopause can be a really challenging time for women, and for some, HRT doesn’t feel like the best way forward. Hannah offers a natural way through menopause, where she addresses the psycho-emotional aspects of each patient’s symptoms as well as the physical ones. Each woman starts with a treatment programme tailored to her needs, blending personalised herbal medicines with health coaching to get the basics of good health in place. Some women also choose to use advanced hypnotherapy to free themselves from any limiting beliefs which are holding them back. ***************** * Guest Details* ***************** Hannah Charman LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-charman-91b43551/ Physic Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/PhysicHealthConsulting Free Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1032853967316418 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHIBDwKWyFzZglbHHIFukDg Instagram: Hannah Charman (@physichealthconsulting)  Support the show
