The Best of Health

6.4 Dr Kirstey Holland - how society has normalised for women to feel awful


Listen Later

Meet Dr. Kirsty Holland - a powerhouse practitioner who combines Traditional Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy, Functional Medicine, and Environmental Health into one integrated approach.


Her personal story of navigating PCOS, hypothyroidism, and eating disorders as a young woman - only to be offered quick fix mentality approaches like the pill, shaped her mission to support women who fall through the cracks of conventional medicine.


We discuss:

✅ the cognitive dissonance of shutting down young women's hormones while turning up older women's

✅ Why "society has normalized women feeling terrible"
