The Perimenopause Solution Podcast

On this episode I spoke with Jo Lia from No Tox Rox and we spoke all about mold. Mold toxicity is a big problem, and I’ve seen many a client suffering with their hormonal health only to find out it was mold driving their symptoms. But how do you know what to look out for? How do you know when mold is an issue? What’s the best way to test? We get into these questions and more on this episode. Jo is a building biologist, a certified EMR consultant and a IICRC trained water damage restoration technician specialising in creating healthy homes where families can thrive. With over a decade of experience in the field, Jo has assessed hundreds of homes, work-places and schools. Much of her work is focused on remedying mold and EMF exposures but her true passion lies in prevention. She loves nothing more than arming people with the tools and knowledge to create their own healthy homes by understanding what the environmental challenges are and changing the things they can control. Jo has appeared in several health publications, on wellness podcasts and on Channel Ten’s ‘Healthy Homes’ program. You can find Jo here: https://www.notoxrox.com/ On Instagram @notoxrox Jo also provided these resources for our listeners: https://www.vcstest.com/ - Free visual contrast sensitivity test to assess your likelihood of having biotoxin illness. www.staraniseorganic.com/essential-oils (email any questions to info@staraniseorganic.com) for thieves and non toxic cleaning products Thank you for joining me.

Today we're talking all-things PMS and what you need to think about in order to kick your PMS to the curb, (it's totally possible!). I've had my struggles with PMS, so I know this topic extremely well, and I've helped hundreds of women with their PMS symptoms. I also developed a free PMS guide, which you can grab HERE. This is the perfect accompaniment to this episode - so make sure you grab it. In it I talk about supplements for PMS, the best foods to eat vs. avoid, some functional foods specifically for women struggling with PMS, AND I give you a shopping list & 6 PMS-busting recipes. It really is an incredible guide. Between this episode and the PMS guide you'll get a ton of great tips to get you started on your PMS-free journey.

In this episode I talk about my favourite gut test: the GI MAP. I explain why I love this particular gut test, what it shows us, what some of these markers mean, and why it’s so important to run gut testing on yourself - even if you don’t have GI symptoms. I also explain why I believe a hormone test alone is never enough - yes, even when we’re working to balance our hormones! In fact, a hormone test is not the first test I would recommend when you’re working to balance your hormones - and I explain why on this episode. I also mentioned that if you're listening to this episode in real time you may want to join my upcoming training called The Ultimate Gut Health & Your Hormones training. You can join the training HERE. And I also mentioned my FREE Healthy Gut Guide, which you can grab HERE as well as - for practitioners - my GI MAP Mastery Practitioner Training course which you can learn more about HERE.

In this short episode I explain why hormones are so important and what some lesser known hormones are. It's not all about the sexier hormones: estrogen, progesterone, and even thyroid. Hormone balance requires us to look at ALL the 50+ hormones we have. I also mentioned that if you're listening to this episode in real time you may want to join my upcoming training called The Ultimate Gut Health & Your Hormones training. You can join the training HERE. In it, I go deep into everything you need to know in order to optimise your gut health to optimise your hormonal health. We also will do a live Q&A and I'm giving out a ton of resources too. So I hope to see you there! Thank you for joining me.

On this episode of the podcast I talk about iron. Iron can be very dangerous if you don't need it, and ferritin alone isn't a good marker for determining whether or not you have an iron deficiency. If you're taking iron supplements based on one ferritin reading then this is a must-listen. I go into why iron is useless without copper, how one may become iron toxic and the dangers of iron toxicity, why most people likely don't need iron supplements, the best tests to determine a true iron deficiency, and more.

Minerals are crucial for hormone health & overall health, yet hardly anyone in the health & wellness space is talking about them. In this episode we talk about how the thyroid, your estrogen levels, & your adrenals rely on healthy mineral status & balance. I touch on why blood work for your thyroid may seem normal yet your minerals can show us if you have a more sluggish thyroid picture than what your bloods are picking up. I also talk about the symptoms of mineral imbalances, why blood testing for minerals is not accurate & what the best test to do is for minerals is & why - plus more!

In this episode I talk GLUTEN: Is it friend or foe? Should you be avoiding it? How does gluten impact our hormones? Can gluten ever be a part of a "healthy" diet? I share with you my clinical experience with clients as well as some research, which you can find here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31986568/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31986568/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32006368/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25701700/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4772047/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30060266/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4104239/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6266949/ And don’t make the mistake of thinking gluten isn’t a problem for you just because you don’t have an obvious reaction to it! Gluten is a sneaky protein that can contribute to many symptoms that you may not think are related like anxiety, depression, joint pain, and more. This is a must-listen for anyone who values their health and their hormones.
