Dr Patrick Flynn founder of The Wellness Way and International best-selling author talks with Angela about how it’s possible to, as a woman, to experience the menopausal transition as a life experience without pain and successfully move into your golden years when you understand and maintain the right hormonal balance for your body
When you are accurately tested and know the levels of your hormones, make sure you have good nutrition, keep moving in the right way at the right time and recognise the impact mental stress has on your body, you can achieve happy hormones and this episode takes an in depth look at exactly what you can do to optimise all aspects of your health and hormonal balance
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Oestrogen is a term used to describe a group of hormones and when particular oestrogen hormones become elevated it can lead to PTOS and endometriosis
Environment toxins, trauma and deficiency all play a part in creating an imbalance of hormones
High levels of stress and trying to out-perform men can cause a very poor hormonal state in women that in turn leads to many diseases
A plant based diet can mean deficiency for women who need organ meats, rich in nutrients for their hormone levels
Testosterone is not an end stage hormone it can convert to other form including  conversion to oestrogens
A woman’s cycle means the body changes around four times every month and each part of the cycle has different physical and psychological demands
In the third week, days 13 to 22, you need to reduce all stress because there is a high demand for progesterone and lowering it can cause serious illness
Humans are creatures of movement so continuing to move is important, it’s how you do it and the intensity that matters
When you move into menopause you need to use your adrenals and fat to produce the majority of your hormones
Get it right and you can have better sex than ever before, post menopause
The purpose of cycles is fertility and every time there is a cycle eggs are lost, so as girls are beginning their cycles earlier the period of being fertile as adults is decreasing 
Getting your hormone balance right will restore your physiology back to normal, to where it should be 

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘The third week of a woman’s cycle is the most intensive thing and they really need to take care of themselves’
‘It’s easier to keep a woman healthy in menopause than when she is cyclic’
‘Combining high-intensity exercise with menstruation will drain your hormones’
