The Body Never Lies

The Myths of Menopause with Keith Littlewood


Listen Later

I’m sorry to say that you guys have been asking for this episode for ages and it has taken Tommo and I this long to get to it.  So I apologize.  There really is not enough great info out there about menopause, but that is slowly changing and I hope Tommo’s amazing wealth of knowledge really helps you today.

For those of you who don’t know, Keith Littlewood aka Tommo, is a friend and mentor of mine and has fast become our resident hormonal expert.  He is currently doing his Phd in endocrinology (the study of hormones) and would love your support and for you to donate to his gofundme.  And if you have not listened to his previous episodes, you're going to find out why his work is so important.  

There is a significant amount of misinformation and poor applications in medicine in relation to Hormonal Replacement Therapy, especially with Thyroid, but also reproductive issues in general and menopause.  Today we are going to be exploring those around menopause, especially the erroneous idea of Oestrogen being an appropriate application.  

We’re going to be talking about just why women suffer - some more than others.  And I’m really hoping that this is going to be listened to by women of all ages, because it is in fact years of cumulative lifestyle and environmental factors that contribute to how we shall in fact go through the change and what our health will be like afterwards

So, share this one with your daughters, your sisters and your mothers so that we can all live long healthy lives with great bone mineral density, thyroids and muscle mass.
