  • Is Gut Health A Passing Fad?
    Oct 7 2025

    Gut health has become the buzzword of the decade, but is it actually worth the hype?

    In this episode, I break down why your gut is far more than a digestion station. It’s the control centre for your hormones, immunity, mood, and long-term health.

    You’ll hear how the microbiome changes as women move through midlife, why supplements alone often fall flat, and the simple swaps that make a real difference.

    I share practical, science-backed steps you can start today that don’t involve expensive powders or gimmicks, just real strategies for feeling healthier and more energised.

    Here are the Highlights:


    02:15 – Why your gut is the body’s control centre.

    05:40 – The microbiome shift after 35 and what it means for women.

    06:57– The quick-fix trap with probiotics and pills.

    08:45 – Everyday culprits that throw your gut off balance.

    10:20 – The link between gut health, hormones, and menopause symptoms.

    12:25 – Three practical things you can do right now.

  • The Health Crisis Nobody Is Talking About
    Oct 7 2025

    In this very first episode of Health Insider, I share my journey from Big Pharma scientist to nutrition practitioner and why women’s health in midlife is my mission. You’ll hear how my personal experiences with family, career, and my own health led me to question the way our system works and why prevention matters just as much as treatment.

    I’ll talk about the real gaps in research around menopause, the frustrating advice many of us get from doctors, and some simple shifts you can make right now. Think protein-rich meals, morning daylight, and tracking your health in smarter ways.

    Here are the Highlights:


    01:04: So why did I start this podcast?

    02:40: From Big Pharma to preventive health

    05:45: The blind spot in women’s midlife health

    08:20: My own struggles and frustrations with “normal” symptoms

    11:30: Three simple fixes you can start with today
