#129 MHT - Oestrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone — Which One Do You Actually Need?
Most women are handed a prescription without a proper explanation of what they're actually taking and why. This episode fixes that. Three hormones. What each one does, what happens when you lose it, what the options are in Australia right now, and how to think about what you actually need. Plus how to have a better, more informed conversation with your GP. This is information so you can advocate f
#128 Every Woman Should Be On Vaginal Oestrogen
Most women have never heard of it. Most GPs aren't offering it. And the ones who have been prescribed it often aren't using it correctly. Vaginal oestrogen is the most underused, most underprescribed, most life-changing treatment in the menopause space. In this episode, Kylie makes the case for why she believes every woman in perimenopause and menopause should be using it — and gives you everythin
#127 Is Your Gut Wrecking Your Hormones? The Perimenopause Connection No-One Is Talking About
If you've been trying to fix your hormones and getting nowhere, this episode might completely change how you look at your body. Because here's the thing: everyone's focused on hormones. But your gut is the one running the show. Your gut microbiome produces neurotransmitters, metabolises your oestrogen, regulates your blood sugar, and determines how well you absorb every nutrient you eat. When it
#126: You Don't Have a Sleep Problem — You Have a Hormone Problem
You've tried the sleep tips. You've tried the supplements. You've gone to bed earlier, cut back on screens, downloaded the meditation app. And you're still not sleeping.

In this episode I share the story of Fiona — a client who came to me c

If you're waking at 3am, lying there with your brain running laps while the rest of the world sleeps, this episode is for you. Not because I have another list of sleep tips.

In this episode of The Hormone Hub Podcast I get really honest about m
#124 When Your Body Sends You Messages (And You're Not Sure You Want to Listen)
I had one of those "right… okay then" moments this week. Within 24 hours: • Skin cancer check revealed a barnacle • Prescribed bifocal glasses • Bowel screening test arrived in the mail And I just sat there thinking… Is this what we're doing now? It was a bit of a wake-up call. Not in a dramatic way. Just that quiet realisation that things are shifting. And if I'm honest… I know so many of you

117: Lifestyle First: Beyond Pills and Potions
I am constantly asked about "the thing" that will fix whatever our big health bugbear is ... crazy hormones, digestive issues, anxiety, weight gain, hair loss, not sleeping, and so on.

I'm constantly being asked a LOT of questions about perimenopause... so if you're experiencing changes in your body that leave you feeling confused and overwhelmed, you aren't alone.

Episode 83: Is Leaky Gut a Real Thing?
As a natural health practitioner, there are certain things we know to be true.

Episode 69: The Unspoken Side of Menopause

Episode 60: Stop buying supplements on Facebook…and what to do instead!

Episode 57: The Great Soy Debate!
Should I eat soy? This is a really common question I get asked all the time and in a word – YES! Why? Because soy contains phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens get their name because they exert a weak estrogen-like effect, but they are NOT estrogen. Phytoestrogens bind so weakly to estrogen receptors and can have a mild balancing effect. They will increase the effect when estrogen levels are low, so v
Episode 56: When your "Healthy Eating" isn't working
Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I eat really healthy, but..."? Well, you're not alone.
