Over each season of The Best of Wmen's Health Podcast, I cover topics broad and wide across all aspects that make up our health: from gut our microbiome, nutrigenomics, to chatting with food and supplement suppliers - it’s all on the table to discuss! Each episode provides insightful conversations with a varied scope of health care professionals, clinicians, researchers, functional medicine practitioners and industry leaders to open up the dialogue and inspire you.
Coinciding with World Osteoporosis Day this special episode features two fabulous people: Sarah and Paul McGee - who have an incredible story to share (and have been instrumental in my own journey after a ‘diagnosis’ of Osteoporosis).
In the episode Sarah shares her journey from an osteoporosis diagnosis at 53 after two stress fractures and her journey supported by husband Paul, a sports therapist, packed with science-backed practices that took her from osteoporotic to osteopenic in just 5 years.
In the episode we discuss the differences in the REMS scanner vs DEXA, learn more about fragility scores and discuss the exercise that supports bone density health - especially for women in perimenopause.
I know this episode will inspire and empower other women (as the McGees did for me) to challenge everything you thought about osteoporosis being inevitable or irreversible.

6.6 Ann Marie McQueen - navigating the polarized landscape around menopause
After seeing the polarized menopause space in 2018, Ann Marie McQueen (founder of Hot Flash Inc) has dedicated 5 years to interviewing 150+ experts and cutting through the noise. Her mission? Help women make informed decisions without handing over agency to someone else.
Some of the discussion points we touch upon:
HRT vs MHT - Why Words MatterThe Authority Bias ProblemThe Information Cherry-Picking Crisis
The Double Stack Trend
One of the many things that Ann Marie so expressively shared was, "Your body is exquisite - it's an ecosystem. When you mess with one thing, there's a chain reaction."
This is a great episode and truly inspiring for women in mid-life to inform and education yourself. As Ann Marie explains: Don't outsource decisions. Learn enough to know what YOU'RE doing - it affects the rest of your life.

6.5 Dawn Waldron + Emma Beswick - The Art & Science of Nutrigenomics
This episode features two powerhouse practitioners joining me to discuss why nutritional therapy needs to reclaim it’s heart alongside the science.
Dawn Waldron and Emma Beswick talk about their own personal journeys that lead them to nutrition, nutrigenomics and functional health.
Despite knowing these two women well, lucky me - they are friends as well as colleagues, I learnt a lot from this conversation as we delved into the central role of the mitochondria and metabolism in health, and how this understanding has shaped Dawn's work in integrative oncology. Emma explains how her Metabolics Report aims to provide practitioners with a comprehensive view of mitochondrial function and cellular energy production.
We openly talk about our shared belief that we've lost the therapy in nutritional therapy. The rush to order tests (gut, hormones, adrenals) means we're not listening to the information sitting in front of us - the client's story. Tests should illuminate, not replace, clinical reasoning.
Emma’s musical analogy has been ringing in my brain since we recorded - our genes are the sheet music, but nutrients, movement, and circadian rhythm are the performance instructions - they tell your genes HOW to play.
Both Emma and Dawn share more gems of insights, reminders that as practitioners, we're meant to hold space for the art AND science - not just prescribe based on data reports.
Emma & Dawn are also (of course) on my Expert Panel of Beyond The Lesions: Unravelling The Endometriosis Puzzle Livestreamed Masterclass 3rd November (booking details 🔗).
