Gut health, healthy fats, brain chemistry & chronic stress. In this solo episode, we’re continuing the conversation I wish we had growing up — the one that connects the dots between nutrition, hormones, mental health, and body composition. This is Part 2 of “What we should’ve learnt in health ed,” and today we’re diving into four overlooked (but essential) topics that deeply impact women’s health — and yet, most of us were never taught. Because the truth is, your mood, metabolism, and energy are not just about willpower or discipline. They’re deeply connected to your gut, your brain, your hormone health — and how safe your body feels. In this episode, I cover: How gut health impacts your hormones, mood, and mental clarity The gut-brain axis explained (and what it has to do with serotonin & estrogen) Why your brain chemistry literally changes across your cycle The underrated role of healthy fats in hormone production (and what happens when you don’t get enough) How chronic stress disrupts metabolism, sleep, recovery & body composition — especially belly fat Practical ways to support your nervous system, digestion & hormone balance Key takeaway: Your body is not working against you — it’s trying to protect you. When you learn how to support it instead of stress it out, everything shifts.
