In this conversation I welcomed Renee Fitton onto the podcast to discuss some different ideas around fasting and how appropriate it is for women (and men), especially during peri menopause and as we get older. You will see there are a lot of considerations when it comes to fasting and in many cases, jumping into a water only fast is not smart for many of us. We discuss how fasting can directly influence hormones in both a good and bad way - improving insulin, yet impairing others like thyroid and progesterone. Again, a lot to be considered. We hope you enjoy this conversation and let us know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments. :)

Kitty Martone is back with us wearing her Healthy Gut Girl hat and to talk to us on many matters of gut health and hormones. And especially how trauma and stress are an important consideration that we should not overlook when considering our hormone health. If you recall, Kitty was with me on the podcast just before Christmas discussing ONAS natural hormone therapy and progesterone for feeling your best during the perimenopause transition.

The start of this current conversation with Kitty sees us both open up about our beginning of life experiences and how that has molded us each as a person. We then transition into gut health, detoxification and addressing hormone imbalances. We hope you very much enjoy this conversation and we look forward to hearing your feedback. :)

Amazing is all I can say about this conversation! Prepare to put you nerd hats on for this first conversation with Morley Robbins, where we debunk the idea that iron deficiency and anemia are a real concern. In this podcast episode Morley goes into great detail on how we can understand;

where the current idea of iron deficiency and anemia came from.

how current thinking around iron is misleading and potentially dangerous.

the part oxygen plays in iron metabolism and energy production.

how copper is essential for curing "anemia" and fatigue.

how inflammation is a HUGE factor in both iron overload and low iron.

how chlorophyll and dark chocolate can be great for improving low copper.

And soooooo much more.

We hope you enjoy this episode and maybe listen to it a few times to fully absorb all the awesome information therein. ;)

And watch out for my next conversation with Morley where we will look closer at testing and ranges, along with one or two case studies from my own clients.

*If you have any questions for Morley for our next conversation, please send them to;

I had a wonderful conversation with the very beautiful and intelligent Eric Hull this week on toxic fat and weight gain as we move through perimenopause.

- how imbalances start

- monitoring the symptom picture

- how you can't pour from an empty cup and how resiliency declines as we get old

- addressing the foundations of health

- the accumulation of toxins in the body

- fat cells and estrogen

- visceral fat and LOTS more!

We think you will very much enjoy this conversation and please let us know in the comments. :)
