Find out how to recognise it and some clues to managing it with foods, thoughts and lifestyle. 

High testosterone in women is affecting up to 4 in 10 fertile women!

Commonly referred to as PCOS, I have referred to it as Female Hormone Disorder (FHD). 

My best selling book, Beauty and the Beast Within is about this phenomena.

Potential causes of elevated testosterone

- estrogen pathways

- insulin pathways

- psychological elements (masculine activities)

And some basics on how to recognise high testosterone in yourself:

- Psychological : Aggression, irritability, inability to relax, anger, broken sleep, competitiveness

- Physical : acne, unwanted facial or body hair, receding hair line, belly fat, cysts on the ovaries, infertility, longer cycles or no period, fat distribution on the neck.  

In this podcast I discuss which key nutrients are implicated in 

1. Gaining weight

2. Not being able to lose weight.

Weight gain in this podcast cast means fat not muscle gain.

With a wide variety of foods available to many it is interesting that many who are overweight particularly, are malnourished and missing many key (and vital) nutrients.

Some that are discussed are:

- Inositol

- Chromium

- Iodine

I discuss where you can find these nutrients in foods and some tips for getting in extra if you need it. 

In this punchy podcast I share cutting edge information about hormones and why they make you gain weight!

- Testosterone

- Cortisol

- Estrogen

- Insulin 

- Thyroid hormones

Find not only why these hormones go up and lead to weight gain, but also simple strategies to bring them down so you can achieve your ideal weight. 

Gaining weight can be as a result of many things, including:

- Overconsuming

- Underexercising or wrong types of exercise

- Hormone imbalances

- Nutrient deficiencies

This podcast explores why exercise is important in keeping your weight healthy and why many are gaining weight due to lack of exercise. 

Overeating can affect everyone at some point.

Doing it over a consistent longer time however leads to weight gain. 

Find out the common faux pas that people do when they gain weight. 

In this podcast we discuss the common reasons gain weight.

1. Consuming more calories than we need

2. Not burning off enough calories or exercising

3. Hormone imbalances and metabolism issues

4. Nutrient deficiences

This podcast is for those of you who want to know the truth, the nuances and the recipe for living a healthy, happy life by design. 

The status quo is lead by mainstream health advice.

I was a cog in the wheel of mainstream health advice for 20+ years as a registered nurse and pharmaceutical rep. 

I can tell you it will only ever deliver "average" results and will rarely give you reasons why diseases, imbalances and riffs occur.

I want to explore the spaces in between average and exceptional. 

With health, happiness and hormones.
