In this episode we will be talking about everything hormones focused on female physiology. I’m joined by Holly Dunn (hollydunn.co.uk), who is a clinical nutritionist and specialist in amenorrhea (a term for missing periods), hormones and mental health. Over the years I’ve come to year more and more about my hormones and the female physiology in general, and yet feel like there is SO much to educate myself on, on what is known about the female hormones today.
The reality is that the female physiology is less stable, and more complex compared to male physiologies; which is why research has been dominated by running experiments on men - pursuing stable and predictable subjects. To give you some context: it’s relatively recent that women, or people who identify as female, have been allowed in medical research by law.
So, with the knowledge available today, Holly shares facts and misconceptions about hormones, how they affect you day to day and what you can do to understand them better and let them work for you.
