In this special episode of The Hormone Hub, I want to thank you all for your incredible support and engagement throughout this journey.

Reflecting on the purpose of this podcast, I've always aimed to create a supportive space for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

As we all know, life has its seasons. After much thought, I've decided to take a step back to recharge, refocus, and realign with my goals. This means The Hormone Hub podcast will be taking a pause.

Rest assured, my commitment to providing support remains as strong as ever. Consultations and programs will continue to be available, and I'll be sharing updates through our website and social media channels.

I encourage you to stay connected and remember, this is not the end, but a new beginning.

Thank you once again for being a part of The Hormone Hub community.

Your stories, feedback and support have been a constant source of inspiration. I look forward to continuing our journey together in new and meaningful ways.

Until next time...

Big love
Kylie x

Hands up who had a perfectly mapped out birth plan, complete with essential oils and god knows what else was a good idea at the time, that never even made it out of the bag!

If you're losing hair by the handful...you're not alone.
It's another alarming gem of peri and menopause waiting to surprise us and a hot issue discussed regularly over in our Community.

Welcome to The Hormone Hub Podcast where today we're looking at why it can feel that we're about to go bald at the same time hair is reappearing randomly on our face.

There's usually an underlying reason (or two), so in this episode we look at the causes - from hormonal imbalances and stress, thyroid and auto immune conditions, nutrient deficiencies and even long term medications which can be the culprit.

What's a girl to do?

I'm here to share some practical advice on how to manage these changes. We’ll discuss the importance of diet, specific nutrients like zinc and iron, and the role they play in hair health.

It's about more than quick fixes; it's about understanding and adapting to your body's needs during perimenopause. I'll share strategies for supporting your thyroid, managing stress, and optimising your nutrient levels for overall health.

Remember, you're not alone on this journey. Knowledge is power, and I'm here to help you regain the confidence that comes with taking back control of your health.

I hope you enjoy this episode!

I am constantly asked about "the thing" that will fix whatever our big health bugbear is ... crazy hormones, digestive issues, anxiety, weight gain, hair loss, not sleeping, and so on.

Generally, the answer women are looking for is the magic supplement or type of diet, or which dose of HRT, but the glaring reality is, if we want things to be different, we need to do things differently.

Fresh from our latest Bali retreat I'm feeling very inspired by the pivotal role that lifestyle plays for us - and how we need to take personal responsibility for ourselves and stop looking for a quick fix or a band aid.

You are not defined by a diagnosis, a health condition or your weight, nor are you a victim.

You are NOT broken - our supermarket foods and medical/pharma system (think chemist chains) is what's broken.

This episode is a call to action for anyone ready to break free from this cycle that often overlooks the underlying drivers that are keeping us unwell and overweight. You can't heal a body that's in a stressed state.

My challenge for you... is to have a vision for your health, what does your future look like, in 1 year, 5 years, 20 years.

How energetic are you?
How mobile and active are you?
Are you physically able to do everything you want to?
Are you calm and relaxed?
Are you happy?

It's what you do today that your future self will thank you for.

I hope you enjoy this episode! are

Welcome to a powerful episode of The Hormone Hub where we are talking about the unexpected journey of surgically induced menopause.

Today, we are joined by my friend and mentor from years ago when I first took my business online. Tammy Guest is a speaker, a helicopter pilot and a freedom seeker who takes people on adventures and reminds them how to live an amazing life.

Tammy is also a naturopath and today she shares her candid journey of her hysterectomy following the discovery of 2 large masses in her abdomen. We talk about the unanticipated immediate onset of hot flushes, the challenges of surgery recovery, and the relief found in bioidentical hormones.

Whether you're facing a similar surgery or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen
