The Perimenopause Solution Podcast

In this episode I tell you what my two favourite functional tests are that I keep coming back to time and time again. These are tried and true tests that give us SO much valuable information that really helps no matter what your symptoms are. I've been in this industry a while now and I've used and learned about a lot of functional tests. Maybe I'll change my tune one day about what I think are the best tests but currently these are my two favourites. Dive in and have a listen! I mentioned a special I'm having if you're listening to this in real time: my "Black Friday in October" sale. You can click HERE to read more about these packages. I'm doing things a little differently this year and offering my "Choose Your Own Health Adventure" programs in October. This is so women can get on top of their symptoms before the silly season. We're also giving ladies an extra month - free of charge - on us, (because things tend to slow down over the Christmas period and these packages run for 4 months over the Christmas / New Years timeframe). These packages give you the chance to do the functional testing of your choice with my team and I, outside of my bigger 6 month program, (The HBS). ------------------------------------------------- Thank you for joining me.

On this episode I'm talking about self supplementing and why this can sometimes be dangerous. We'll dive into vitamin D, DIM, and selenium. There are other supplements to be wary of too, but a lot of women are taking these particular three so I wanted to get you thinking about whether you really should be and how to know for sure. Blindly supplementing without testing can be problematic and these - albeit "natural" - health supplements that are easy to come by may not always be completely benign.

In this episode I challenge the notion of; "I've tried everything". You see, I hear this a lot from women but the truth is, often they've not actually tried "everything" - and this should give them hope. There's often so much more to explore and I explain it all in this episode. I go down the list of things you must look at before you say "I've tried everything!". See how many you can tick off. You're NOT destined to live in pain, or with mood swings, or with debilitating PMS, or with headaches, or with fatigue, and so on. Before you conclude that you're a "lost cause" (you're not), listen to this episode. I'm doing things a little differently this year & hosting my annual Black Friday Choose Your Own Health Adventure SALE in October. Why? 👇 What I've witnessed is that women want more time - BEFORE the holidays - to cement healthy habits & get themselves into an optimal health state before the festivities hit. It's a good idea to go into the holidays with robust health because ultimately we may indulge a little during the holidays. Also, around the holidays my team & I take a well deserved break. Everyone shuts down for a week or so over Christmas & new years so I wanted to give you an extra month - on us - free of charge - because the holidays aren't a normal time of year. So if you want to do some functional health testing outside of my 6 month program (The HBS) these smaller programs are for you! This is a once yearly opportunity to work with me and Michelle to do testing of YOUR CHOICE! We only have space for a limited number of ladies so hop on the waitlist to be the first to find out when this special becomes available. Waitlist HERE. Thank you for joining me.

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.

In this episode of the podcast I spoke about copper toxicity; what the symptoms are, how one becomes copper toxic, how copper toxicity AND deficiency can look the same, what the best test is for copper (blood vs. HTMA), and more. A must-listen for anyone with hypothyroidism (or symptoms), PMS or estrogen excess, or any type of mental health issue. Thank you for joining me.
