Welcome back to the podcast where we get real about midlife health and help you stop surviving and start thriving. This time, Michelle dives into a topic so many women deal with in silence: chronic, dragging, frustrating pain.
Her guest is Dr. Bradley Shepherd, a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner who specialises in helping women in their 40s and 50s reduce chronic pain by addressing the root causes of hormone and nutrient imbalances through Nutritional Endocrine Modulation.
Dr. Shepherd, who grew up surrounded by women and their health struggles, explains how hormones and nutrition hold the key to reclaiming energy, improving sleep, and clearing brain fog. If you're tired of being told your pain is just part of getting older, this episode is a must-listen
Dr Shepherd Discusses
BEST MOMENTS
"I've noticed that that population tends to be dismissed by a lot of healthcare professionals... I think there's a great need, and they tend to be dismissed by a lot of the medical profession."
"Why don't we make sure that the nutrients that make oestrogen and help regulate oestrogen, why don't we make sure that those nutrients are in place first?"
"I don't think you can influence one neurotransmitter, say in the brain, without influencing what's going on in the gut with gut inflammation and vice versa."
"Listen to your body, listen to what it's saying, try to figure out what it's telling you, because sometimes a migraine headache can be say, 'Okay, something's out of balance,' and it can be as simple as that."
