What really happens when our hormones are in (or out of) balance, and how much control do we actually have? In this empowering episode, host Ellie Balfe sits down with renowned Professor and Consultant Endocrinologist, Dr Mary Ryan, to talk about Hormone Harmony: how our hormones influence every part of our health and wellbeing, and how we can learn to work with them, not against them.
Dr Ryan, author of It’s Probably Your Hormones and one of Ireland’s leading voices in women’s health, shares powerful insights on the phases of female hormone health, from puberty to perimenopause and beyond. She explains why so many women today feel exhausted and burnt out, and how prioritising rest is not indulgent but essential for hormonal balance and long-term energy.
Together, Ellie and Dr Ryan explore:
• Why hormones are the ultimate influencers and how to keep them in balance
• The truth behind buzzwords like adrenal fatigue and oestrogen dominance
• How stress and overwork deplete our energy and hormones
• Practical ways to advocate for yourself in medical consultations
• The connection between female equality, emotional load and physical health
• How to view menopause as a powerful, positive transition - our great second act.
It is a conversation about understanding, empowerment and change - in our homes, workplaces and relationships.
Every woman will find something here that resonates.
