Happy Hormones Podcast
This podcast is for you if you're struggling with 'unhappy' hormones! Whether you're pre, peri or post menopause, your hormones can be out of balance, and that can result in you feeling like you've lost control of how you look, feel, think and perform. Your host is Nicki Williams, award-winning nutritionist, author, speaker and founder of Happy Hormones for Life. After failing to find any medical help for her hormone symptoms in her early 40's, she discovered she could turn things around through comprehensive testing, diet, lifestyle and supplements. She and her team at Happy Hormones now help women all over the world to rebalance their hormones, reclaim their health and feel better than ever! In this podcast, enjoy a mix of Quick Tip episodes with practical solutions, alongside interviews with experts on a variety of health topics.

We all know that oestrogen has a crucial role to play in all phases of a woman’s life, however little is heard of it’s sister hormone progesterone.
This hormone is super important! Progesterone’s main job is to prepare the womb for a healthy pregnancy but it does so much more than that. It's your calming hormone. It helps you sleep, reduces anxiety and balances out too much oestrogen.

If you’re looking for an alternative to HRT or just wanting to manage your symptoms naturally, phytoestrogens could be your new best friend!
Phytoestrogens are natural plant compounds that are structurally similar to human oestrogen and can mimic the action of oestrogen in the body.
This is particularly useful in menopause as by including them in your diet, you can trick the body into thinking you have enough circulating oestrogen a...

There's so much attention (deservedly) on the menopause right now, which is great news!
But as menopause is still regarded as something that happens in your fifties, we really need to be talking about 'peri-menopause'.
These are the transition years from when your hormones start to change (as early as your 30's) right up to your final period.
And 80% of women can suffer symptoms ranging from mild to debilitating.

I didn't until I met Marika Messager. She had a very successful career in the City until she realised something was missing. She went on a journey of self development and discovered her true purpose.

Hair loss is a really common and upsetting symptom for women over 40.
It's perfectly normal to lose a bit of hair when you brush it or wash it, but when quite a bit is coming out or you're losing clumps of hair in patches over your head, then you need to take notice.
There are a number of common causes for female hair loss, and luckily lots you can do to rectify it.

Working with women’s hormones day in day out, I get asked a lot about HRT and in particular about the benefits and safety.
Whether you can or want to take HRT, the most important thing is that it's YOUR choice based on good information. Informed, personal choice is what every woman deserves.
Hope this helps you decide what's right for you.

They're called Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in the science world (just google them and you'll find thousands of studies on them!).
And they're in things we eat, drink, inhale and put on our bodies every single day.

It's not the most sexy or advanced topic, so we often take it for granted that people are drinking enough water. It's pretty basic, right?
But it's so easy to get it wrong. Especially as we get older. Many of us are walking around dehydrated! And that can have huge repercussions on our health (and hormones!).
