Reclaiming Menopause PART 2: HRT, Hormones, and How to Advocate for Yourself with Fiona Getty
In this episode, Brianna is joined by Fiona Getty, certified menopause coach and founder of She Menopause Coaching. Fiona shares her extraordinary personal journey through perimenopause, from debilitating migraines and daily bleeding to being told she was "too young" and advised to seek counselling, and how finally finding the right care transformed her health, confidence, and career in her 50s. Together, Bree and Fiona unpack the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause, why so many women are still being missed or misdiagnosed, the truth about HRT and the deeply flawed 2002 Women's Health Study, and the foundational diet and lifestyle changes that make the biggest difference... no overhauling required. Whether you're in the thick of perimenopause, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand your hormones better before they shift, this episode is essential listening. In this episode we cover: Why perimenopause can start as early as the mid-30s and what the early signs look like The full symptom picture- joint pain, frozen shoulder, hives, brain fog, bloating, heart palpitations and more Why blood tests alone are unreliable for diagnosing perimenopause from age 45 onwards The 2002 Women's Health Initiative Study, why it was flawed, and the generational damage it caused HRT delivery methods, dosage, and why one size absolutely does not fit all The role of the Mirena IUD alongside oestrogen therapy Why oestrogen loss is linked to bone density, muscle mass, insulin resistance, dementia risk, and brain shrinkage Creatine for women, cognitive and physical benefits and why dosage matters The foundational nutrition approach: protein, fibre, hydration, and why 1200 calories is not enough Resistance training for bone density and metabolic health Sleep hygiene and why consistent sleep and wake times are non-negotiable How to track your symptoms and advocate for yourself in a clinical setting Resources and links mentioned: She Menopause Coaching — Instagram: @shemenopausecoach She Menopause Coaching website: www.shecoaching.com.au Wellfem Menopause Service: www.wellfem.com.au VivHealth: www.vivhealth.com.au Geelong Menopause Group: https://www.menopausehealthgroup.com.au/ Australian Menopause Society — find an accredited menopause-trained GP near you: www.menopause.org.au Chief Nutrition Collagen (available at Woolworths) Download our Menopause Symptom Tracker: https://www.menopause.org.au/consumer-information/self-assessment-tools/symptom-checker/ Work with us!

Perimenopause Part 1: The Real Reason Perimenopause Symptoms Feel Like a New Disease Every Day
In this episode, Bri, women's health naturopath at The Sana Co., delivers a no-nonsense crash course in perimenopause and menopause. She breaks down the hormonal sequence behind the symptoms that so many women are told are simply stress, aging, or all in their head. If you have ever felt like you are waking up with a new symptom every day and going in circles trying to manage them, this episode is for you. What We Cover: What perimenopause and menopause actually are and why perimenopause can begin as early as your thirties The hormonal sequence that drives symptoms: why progesterone drops first, what happens when estrogen runs unchecked, and how both eventually decline Why you can experience high estrogen and low estrogen symptoms within the same month The role of estrogen as an anti-inflammatory, and what this means for joint pain, frozen shoulder, and musculoskeletal changes The link between perimenopause and insulin resistance, including central weight gain and energy crashes Why perimenopause is a critical window for long-term health, including cardiovascular, bone, metabolic, autoimmune, and cognitive risk What foundational support can genuinely move the needle on symptoms Key Takeaways: Perimenopause is not a breakdown, it is a structured biological transition with a clear hormonal sequence The symptoms most women associate with perimenopause are often driven by progesterone loss, not estrogen loss Estrogen can spike up to three times higher than normal levels before it ultimately declines, which is why symptoms can feel wildly inconsistent Your ovaries age at approximately twice the rate of the rest of your body, which is why ovulation becomes irregular earlier than most women expect Perimenopause reflects overall health status, which means the support your body needs now is often the support it has needed all along Small, well-targeted lifestyle and clinical interventions during this window can have a significant impact on long-term health outcomes Coming Up Next: Bree sits down with Fiona Getty from She Menopause Coaching for an honest, inspiring conversation about Fiona's personal journey through perimenopause and the work she now does to support other women navigating the same transition.

Why Treating Endo Without Looking at Your Gut Is Like Patching a Leaking Pipe From the Wrong End
Endometriosis and the Gut Microbiome In this episode, Bri and Karah dive deep into one of the most underappreciated connections in women's health: the relationship between endometriosis and the gut microbiome. If you have been told your gut symptoms are "just IBS" or that endometriosis is purely a reproductive condition, this episode is for you. In this episode we cover: What endometriosis actually is and why it is so much more than painful periods Why women with endo so commonly experience gut symptoms including bloating, bowel changes, and food sensitivities What the estrobolome is and how gut bacteria directly influence estrogen metabolism and clearance Why SIBO is so prevalent in women with endometriosis and what drives it The role of intestinal permeability (leaky gut) in fuelling the inflammatory cycle How the gut-immune connection plays into endo disease activity The estrogen-histamine feedback loop and why so many endo sufferers are reacting to everything Naturopathic strategies to support the gut in endometriosis management, including nutrition, fiber, nervous system support, and functional testing Mentioned in this episode: Kiwi fruit (with the skin on) before bed for sleep support Slow cooked lamb and lentil roast with salsa verde — TikTok recipe link https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSQhmRtXB/ Psyllium husk and flaxseed meal as gentle fiber options High polyphenol olive oil Pomegranate juice in soda water Comprehensive stool testing and SIBO breath testing Functional testing markers discussed: microbiome diversity, beta-glucuronidase activity, inflammatory markers, iron, vitamin D, B12 Key takeaways: Endometriosis is a whole-body inflammatory condition, not just a hormonal or reproductive one. The gut microbiome influences estrogen metabolism, immune function, histamine regulation, and systemic inflammation, all of which are directly relevant to how endo presents and how it can be managed. Supporting gut health will not cure endometriosis, but it can meaningfully reduce the overall inflammatory burden and improve quality of life. If you are experiencing severe pain, debilitating bloating, or bowel symptoms and feel dismissed, you deserve proper support and investigation. Work with us!
