Our food, our lifestyle shape our hormones and therefore our health, the level of our energy and the quality of our thoughts... and ultimately the way we experience our lives as women. So the impact is huge. That's why I have invited Marion Baudier-Melon for this episode of our Guest Expert Series. In our discussion we go far beyond food rules and wellness trends, and into the invisible mechanisms that govern women’s health. Marion dismantles persistent myths around hormones, stress, the menstrual cycle, and “listening to your body” and reveals why so many well-intentioned health habits may actually be working against us.This conversation is personal and honest and it's an invitation to work with your body, not fight it. Marion shares powerful insights on nourishment, emotional balance, and the long-term impact of hormonal disruption (including the pill) with clarity, nuance, and compassion. Press play and let's dive together into the understanding of your body, your hormones and their impact on your work and your business.Ressources mentioned on the podcast:Lara Briden's books and blogJolene BrightenMarion Baudier-Melon's bookCristina Pop's The Feminine Creative Cycle FrameworkMeet Marion Baudier-MelonMarion Baudier-Melon (Marion Nutrition) is a nutritional therapist specialised in female health and hormones.She has a degree from CNM London (College of Naturopathic Medicine).
