   Ep. 19 - What Blood Tests to Ask Your Doctor for During Perimenopause

   Ep 19 - What Blood Tests to Ask Your Doctor for During Perimenopause? Dr. Andrea Robertson explains that perimenopause symptoms often reflect changes in blood, thyroid, metabolism, and cardiovascular systems, so relying on one or two hormone tests (FSH, estradiol) can be misleading due to hormonal fluctuations; diagnosis over 45 is typically based on symptoms and cycle history. She shares a case study ("Kate," 46) whose normal hormone tests missed severe low ferritin (9), raised thyroid antibodies, and rising LDL, which improved with targeted support. The episode provides a GP-ready list of 10 tests across key areas: full blood count; iron studies/ferritin plus CRP; fasting lipid panel and lipoprotein(a); fasting glucose and HbA1c; fasting insulin; vitamin D; B12/folate plus homocysteine; and liver and kidney function, with practical tips on fasting, cycle timing, tracking results, and advocating for thorough care.

   Ep 18 - What Every Manual Therapist Needs to Know About Treating Women in Perimenopause and Menopause

   Ep 18 - What Every Manual Therapist Needs to Know About Treating Women in Perimenopause and Menopause Dr. Andrea Robertson shares her recent Osteopathy Australia Conference talk on how perimenopause & menopause can change tissue recovery and drive common midlife complaints like stubborn shoulder, hip, tendon and joint pain. She explains clinical definitions of perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause, why symptoms can fluctuate with erratic estrogen and falling progesterone, and introduces the "midlife inflammatory load model" with six drivers: estrogen fluctuation/decline, visceral fat and metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, poor sleep, chronic stress, and inactivity with muscle loss. Andrea links hormonal and metabolic factors to tendons and joints, outlines what practitioners should ask, do and when to refer, and emphasizes treating the painful tissue while assessing the broader environment through education, movement, lifestyle support and appropriate GP referral.

   Ep. 17 - Self-Love: How to Move Through Hard Times, Build Resilience, and Come Back to Yourself with Kim Morrison

   Ep. 17 - Self-Love: How to Move Through Hard Times, Build Resilience, and Come Back to Yourself with Kim Morrison Dr. Andrea Robertson (Osteopath, Naturopath & Nutritionist) interviews Kim Morrison who is an ultramarathon world record holder, aromatherapist, founder of 28 Essentials, author of The Art of Self-Love, and host of The Self-Love Podcast which is about building resilience through life's polarities and using tough times as learnings. Kim shares how she accidentally entered ultras under mentor Cliff Young, the mindset tools and aromatherapy anchors that helped her persist, and how she developed a six-step "circle of self-love" (self-awareness, self-care, self-discipline, self-control, self-respect, self-acceptance) after family crisis and her son's mental health struggle. They discuss why more people openly admit hardship, how self-compassion links to physical health, and how self-love supports women through perimenopause/menopause via listening to the body, rest, movement, and daily rituals.
