November 03, 2022 42: Liver Health - Detox Diets & What To Do Instead
Detox diets are a thing. You are likely to have done several of those over the years with mixed results.
But as a Dietitian, they were very much controversial to me for as long as I can remember.
Until I developed a deeper understanding of how the liver functions and what it needs to do the job well.
In this episode, we talk about why liver function is critical for hormonal balance and overall health and 12 things that you can start implementing to supercharge your liver function.

October 27, 2022 41:Hormonal Imbalance In Men - A Real Silent Problem
Let's be honest, we all think hormonal imbalance is a female problem...
Only women suffer from the debilitating effects of messy hormones.
But statistics actually show that about 40% of men above 45 suffer from low testosterone, with many more suffering before they reach that age.
Furthermore, many of them also suffer from estrogen dominance.
Unfortunately, this goes undiagnosed for many years because we all (including our doctors) believe that they are merely 'overworked' and stress.
In many cases, the situation often progresses to chronic disorders.
In this episode, I share with you what male hormonal imbalance look like, and how you can help the love of your life to start turning this around.

Many women, including myself years ago, choose to take their doctor's advice and start using hormonal contraception to 'regulate' their heavy, painful or irregular periods.
But the truth is, hormonal contraception DOES NOT regulate periods, but shuts down the hormonal pathways all together.
In this episode, I aim to give you more information on the potential risks of various forms of hormonal birth control and provide you with alternatives of how you can heal your underlying hormonal imbalance in a natural, healthy and sustainable way.
