The female body is a minefield; we never know where we stand and feel like we are constantly going around in circles! But, it shouldn't be this hard!
In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Hannah Alderson, hormone expert and author of Everything I Know About Cortisol and Everything I Know About Hormones, for an honest, eye-opening conversation about cortisol, hormones, nervous system regulation and the importance of listening to what our bodies are trying to tell us.
In this episode, we dive into what cortisol actually is, why it's not the enemy it's often made out to be, and how simple shifts in our lifestyle can help us work with our natural rhythms rather than against them. We also explore what happens when stress becomes chronic, our nervous systems are constantly on high alert, and our bodies begin to feel the effects.
Hannah also opens up about her incredibly difficult personal experiences with endometriosis and PMOS, sharing the challenges she's faced navigating the healthcare system and how she learnt to advocate for herself to get the answers, support and treatment she needed.
Together, we unpack the often overwhelming world of women's hormones, the connection between stress and our wellbeing, and why understanding our bodies is such an important part of looking after ourselves.
