Kareena from Omits sits down with KP to dive into all the things we should have learned about women’s health but somehow… didn’t. From missing periods to the magic of collagen, they get into the real talk about what’s going on with our bodies.

 “Nothing. You get taught there’s a vagina and there’s a penis. Good luck. See yous later.”

 Sound familiar? Turns out, a lot of us grew up with massive gaps in our knowledge about our own bodies – which explains why so many women are left Googling symptoms at 2 AM.

Missed periods can cause panic, confusion, or a full-blown existential crisis, but Kareena and KP break it down. Whether it’s stress, lifestyle changes, or something more serious, the key takeaway is simple – understanding your body is power.

Kareena introduces Omvits Collagen – a supplement that’s not just about glowing skin, but also about looking after your joints, gut health, and even hormones. Turns out, giving your body the right support isn’t just a luxury – it’s a game-changer.

This convo is exactly why we need more real, unfiltered discussions about women’s health. When education falls short, open chats (and a little help from good supplements) can make all the difference. So let’s keep asking questions, sharing knowledge, and taking charge of our own well-being – one honest conversation at a time.

In this episode of KPfitandwell, host KP welcomes guest Ann Marie, a journalist and the mind behind the Instagram account Hotflash Inc. They delve into providing no-nonsense health advice for women, specifically focusing on perimenopause. Annemarie discusses her personal challenges, including the sudden death of her father, and how it impacted her. The conversation explores various aspects of perimenopause, from symptom management to the importance of self-research and understanding hormone therapy. They emphasise the ineffectiveness of quick fixes and the need for genuine lifestyle changes, including exercise and mindful supplementation. They also touch on the intersection of perimenopause with ADHD, anxiety, and the vital role of mental health support. A notable point is the potential efficacy of hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy, and maintaining continuous movement for overall well-being. KP and Ann Marie advocate for reducing fear-based marketing around menopause and encourage women to seek reliable information and personalised solutions.

You know how much I hate the online "fat loss" "hormone hacks" " its your metabolism thats broken "cortisol made you fat" Well I have one of my favourite educators Beth on the pod this week! Her insta account is my fave!

Carole Henderson on the pod this week teaching us how to process loss, but not just the loss of a person...it can also be grieving the loss of a part of yourself you won't get back. Loved this chat with Carole.

Let me know if you have any questions about this episode.

Always love chatting to Carla she's a great laugh and full of knowledge on the sex subject. She teaches us on this episode the importance of exploring our own sexuality and basically learning this world, and why would we not - we learn how to drive- we learn other skills but sometimes this topic can be difficult to discuss! Get ready for a mind blowing episode...and yes she gets the dildos out at the end!

Love KP

Yes I said what I said. Join me for this weeks episode with a special guest who helps people release emotions in order to heal physical pain!

Did hormones make you leave your partner? Or are women still living suppressed under the pressure of the male patriarchy, doing all the jobs? Then, when we enter our perimenopause chapter, we reassess our lives and realise we are worth more, hopefully! Listen to this amazing episode with Zaraiya—one of my favorite conversations.

Tune into this episode featuring our membership expert and mindset coach, Linda. I'm particularly passionate about this topic. Having experienced intrusive thoughts, OCD, anxiety, and shyness myself, I am eager to share insights on this subject. The more folks we can reach and equip with the necessary tools to improve their lives—even if just by a small margin—the better. Help spread the word.

How much do you really know about taking hormones? Do you need them? What are the symptoms of perimenopause? So here's another amazing episode for you, chicas—with all the power-washing hormone information I gift you with the informative episode! I really love the way Kristin and Maria explain health in midlife! You will love this episode."

This week, I chat with Debbie, a break-up coach who shares her own powerful story about how she managed to find her inner strength and leave an abusive relationship. She has now turned this into a passion and is helping others do the same. Check Debbie out on insta @elolvewithdebbie
