## Resource

A little white ago I stepped away from conversations about hormones, perimenopause and menopause on this podcast. Not because women’s health stopped being important, for from it! It was because the conversation became louder, more crowded and, for many women, more confusing than helpful. Conflicting advice, competing experts and endless rules have left many of us wondering what actually matters, and what we should actually  do  day to day to feel better. In this episode, I’m joined by physician and bestselling author  Dr. Amy Shah  to discuss her new book,  Hormone Havoc . Rather than another conversation focused solely on treatment or supplements, we talk about the practical, everyday habits that support women through perimenopause, menopause and beyond. We explore how hormones intersect with modern life, why midlife can feel uniquely overwhelming, and how small, consistent changes around nutrition, sleep, movement and recovery can make a meaningful difference. This is a calmer, clearer conversation about a stage of life that doesn’t need to be feared, it just needs to be understood. In This Episode Why women feel more confused about hormones than ever Perimenopause as a gradual hormonal transition rather than a sudden event The impact of modern stress and midlife responsibilities Moving from dieting culture to strength and longevity Dr Shah’s  30–30–3 approach : 30g protein in your first meal 30g fibre per day 3 servings of probiotic foods Gut health and hormone regulation Ultra-processed foods and metabolic health GLP-1 medications; benefits, realities and cautions Sleep, circadian rhythm and the importance of darkness Alcohol, ageing and brain health Why menopause can mark a powerful new phase of life About My Guest Dr. Amy Shah  …
