Listen Later

In this episode of Herbcast, host Marion Mackonochie engages in a compelling discussion with medical herbalist Sara Rooney, who specialises in women's health. Together, they explore the intricate world of hormone balance, shedding light on how understanding our hormonal cycles can empower women to optimise their health.

Sara delves into the vital roles hormones play in our daily lives, emphasising the importance of recognising their fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle. From the energising effects of oestrogen during the follicular phase to the calming influence of progesterone in the luteal phase, the conversation highlights how these hormonal shifts can impact mood, energy levels, and overall well-being.

The duo discusses practical strategies for managing hormone health, including dietary recommendations tailored to different phases of the cycle and the role of herbs like maca and Vitex Agnus castus in supporting hormonal balance. Sara shares her insights on common conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, advocating for a holistic approach that combines nutrition, stress management, and herbal support.

As they navigate the challenges women face in accessing effective healthcare, Sara calls for a greater understanding of women's health issues within conventional medicine, stressing the need for holistic solutions that empower women to take charge of their hormonal health.

Join us for an enlightening conversation that promises to deepen your understanding of herbal medicine and its potential to support women's health.
