The stats for osteoporosis are scary – worldwide 1 in 3 women over 50 will suffer an osteoporotic fracture (1 in 5 for men). Over 60% of fractures occur in women, usually in the hip, ankle or wrist.

Clearly menopause is a time of increased risk due to the hormone changes. But there are lots of other causes and risk factors involved and a host of natural approaches you can take to minimise your risk.

If you’re at risk from the factors in this video, do go to your Doctor and ask for a Dexa scan. Or talk to us about a diet and supplement plan to support your bones – the good news is that bone can always be rebuilt if you give it the raw materials!

There is a LOT of information out there now (thankfully!) about menopause.
The internet is a great tool, believe me I’m grateful for it to share my message and my business, but it’s also SO full of information that it can be massively overwhelming and confusing.
So here’s my quick summary of some of the things you need to know to bust some myths and clear some of the confusion.

How much do we know about our gut? Louise Joyce, Director at Invivo Healthcare knows a LOT!

She heads up the lab that we use to get stool tests done for many of our clients who have;

- unresolved digestive issues (bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, gas, pain)
- unresolved symptoms including fatigue, mood swings, depression, anxiety, headaches/migraines, joint pain, weight gain and more

Louise explains the reason we look in to the gut for answers is that it's inter-connected with every part of the body. How the gut and microbiome is working can affect our health in so many ways.

Hope you enjoy our chat, and if you'd like to look more into how your gut might be affecting you, contact me and we can set up a call. www.happyhormonesforlife.com/contact

The 'superfoods' market has exploded these last few years. Completely unheard of, some of these products are now household names!

Just as we need air and water, we all know that our bodies need vitamins and minerals to function properly.

They are the essential micronutrients your body needs to build, repair, grow, heal, protect, support and regulate almost every single function, including your hormones!

Trouble is, finding the right balance is not always easy and deficiencies are common. Especially as we get older.

Here are 6 of the most common deficiencies we find in women.

Organic foods are often more expensive. If you're health conscious, it can be a tricky choice. Is it worth spending the extra money?

Here are my top 10 foods to always try to buy organic where possible.

If you suffer from migraines, you don't need to be told how debilitating they are.
More common in women, there are many underlying factors behind migraines. But if you can identify (and avoid) the triggers and support your health naturally, you may be able to see significant improvements.

In this week's episode, I’m chatting to Wendy Powell. I’ve known Wendy since I first heard her speak on stage about her ground breaking programme MUTU system, and then had to go buy it immediately. Since then, I’ve been using it weekly, and absolutely love it.

So I had to have Wendy on the podcast to explain why she came up with it and why over 68,000 women have already been through it.

I love Wendy’s mission to get us all thinking of our bodies differently and particularly to stop the shame around how we see ourselves. And to give women an exercise programme that is safe and doesn't stress us out!

But how does that work? And what's it got to do with your hormones?
