Welcome to another empowering episode of the Connected Living Podcast. I'm Lecinda van Niekerk, a Functional Nutritionist navigating my own perimenopausal journey. Today, I'm joined by Dr Mayoni Gooneratne MBBS, Bsc, MRCS, AFMCP. In this episode, we dive deep into Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to explore its various aspects, including its types, side effects, dosages, and long-term benefits.
Conversation Highlights:
Are All HRTs Created Equal?
Not all Hormone Replacement Therapies are the same. There are different types available, each with its own set of benefits and considerations.
Understanding Body Identical or Bio-Identical HRT:
Body identical and bio-identical HRT refer to hormone replacement therapies that use hormones chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body. We delve into each one and what makes these treatments unique and their potential advantages.
Side Effects of HRT:
Like any medical intervention, HRT with synthetic ingredients can come with potential side effects. We discuss common side effects and clarify the structural difference between HRT.
Synthetic vs. Natural Progesterone:
It's crucial to know whether you're taking synthetic or natural progesterone during HRT. We explore the differences between the two and how to identify them. This includes the Mirena coil. If you’re still experiencing symptoms and you have a Mirena coil then this episode is for you.
Dosages and Blood Testing:
Understanding the right dosage of HRT is essential for optimal results. We discuss the importance of blood testing and how it informs treatment plans.
NHS GP and Blood Testing for HRT:
Do you need blood testing from an NHS GP to get prescribed HRT? We shed light on the role of healthcare providers in administering and monitoring HRT.
Perimenopause vs. Menopause:
Perimenopause and menopause are distinct stages in a woman's life. We outline the differences between them and how HRT can address symptoms associated with each stage.
Unopposed Oestrogen
We discuss the natural changes that occur within the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle during perimenopause and how this leads to unopposed oestrogen.
Long-Term Benefits of Natural Body Identical HRT:
Finally, we discuss the potential long-term benefits of using natural, body-identical HRT, including its impact on overall health and well-being.
Conclusion:
Thank you for joining us in Part 1 of All things HRT. We hope this discussion on Hormone Replacement Therapy has provided valuable insights into its various aspects and considerations. Stay tuned for Part 2 with Dr Mayoni where she’s keen on sharing the licensing elements relating to Bio-identical hormones and how she incorporates Testosterone and DHEA into her Treatment Plans if needed.
Remember, always consult with your healthcare provider for personalised medical advice.

Programmes:
1:1: I work one-to-one with mums-to-be and new mums, in their first 1-2 years postnatally. I have different levels of packages to suit different needs. I work together with my clients to identify what is at the root of whatever symptoms they may be experiencing. Testing is often helpful to inform some of the dietary and lifestyle changes that will help and I use coaching to support my clients in making those changes.
Group programmes. I will also be running group programmes this year – I feel these can be invaluable because there is a strong element of community and peer support which mums needs and definitely benefit from. If people download my free ebooks and sign up to my newsletter, they will definitely receive info on these programmes when the time comes.
Freebies
People can jump on my website and have a peruse. I will be adding more blogs soon.
I have a couple of freebies on there, one for pregnant mamas and one for new mamas. These focus really on how to eat to support your body in these two phases because getting the food right is an important foundation.
You can also book a 30 minute mini consultation!

Welcome to today's Connected Living episode featuring Caroline Webb, also known as The Thyroid Nutritionist. Caroline joins us to share her inspiring journey of overcoming post-partum Hypothyroidism and autoimmune Hashimoto's. Fueled by her personal struggles, she is now on a mission to help others identify and address their unique root causes, guiding them through their own thyroid healing journeys.
In this insightful episode, we delve into the complexities of thyroid issues, exploring the challenges of testing and the common occurrence of receiving 'normal' results while essential biomarkers remain overlooked. Caroline brings her expertise to the forefront, making the intricacies of thyroid biochemistry not only understandable but also enjoyable, offering a clear breakdown of hypothyroidism versus hyperthyroidism.
We discuss the array of tools available for thyroid support and touch on the tendency of Endocrinologists having a more 'wait and see' approach to thyroid care and why that is. Caroline raises thought-provoking questions about the significance of thyroid antibodies, prompting us to consider whether waiting until extensive damage has occurred (80-90% of the thyroid gland) isn’t the best solution and what we can do instead.
But that's not all—Caroline candidly shares her personal experience as a mother, navigating the challenges of early motherhood while grappling with constant exhaustion. Join us for an engaging conversation that not only sheds light on thyroid health but also resonates with the realities of balancing motherhood and well-being.
