Is it low oestrogen? In this episode, we explore what low oestrogen really looks like, why it happens, and how it affects your whole body, from your brain and mood to your bones, skin, libido, joints, energy, and cardiovascular health.
You’ll learn the most common signs of low oestrogen, why it’s not just a perimenopause issue, and the surprising ways stress, undereating, over-exercising, thyroid function, and hormonal contraception can all play a role.
I also break down exactly how oestrogen supports your brain, metabolism, nervous system, and overall wellbeing, plus what you can do to help your body stay balanced through nutrition, stress management, circadian rhythm support, movement, gut health, and more.
If you’ve been feeling “off,” flat, foggy, anxious, or unlike yourself, this episode will help you understand whether low oestrogen could be part of the picture, and what steps you can take to feel good in your body again.
