Did you know iodine isn’t just about thyroid health – it also plays an important role in how your body metabolises oestrogen?

When iodine is lacking, oestrogen can become harder for the body to clear efficiently. This can contribute to symptoms like heavy periods, breast tenderness, PMS, weight fluctuations, and mood swings.

Getting enough iodine helps your liver and tissues process oestrogen more effectively, keeping your hormones balanced.

🌊 Iodine-rich foods to include in your diet:
Seaweed (nori, kelp, wakame)
White fish (cod, haddock)
Shellfish (prawns, oysters)
Eggs (especially the yolk)

Balancing oestrogen is about supporting your body with the right nutrients – and iodine is one of those small but mighty players.

💙 If you’re struggling with hormone symptoms, adding iodine-rich foods could be one piece of your puzzle.

It’s always best to check your levels before supplementing with Iodine. Iodine is definitely not right for everyone, but super important generally for breast and ovarian health as well as detoxification if your body’s in the right place.

Struggling with hormone balance? Start with your plate 💪🏻

Foods to Help Balance Oestrogen ✨

Fibre - helps clear excess oestrogen
Cruciferous veggies - supports your liver
Healthy fats - keep hormones steady

Simple swaps can have powerful results ✨

Fibre-rich foods (think flaxseeds, leafy greens, whole grains) help your body clear excess oestrogen and keep hormones in check.

Cruciferous veggies like broccoli, kale & cauliflower give your liver a boost to metabolise oestrogen more effectively.

Healthy fats from salmon, avocado & walnuts support hormone production and keep levels steady.

Small shifts on your plate can make a big difference in how you feel !

For many women, oestrogen acts like a natural safety net.

Through your 20s, 30s and even into your early 40s, oestrogen keeps your skin glowing, bones strong, moods more stable, and metabolism ticking over.

But here’s the catch: this “oestrogen veil” can hide deeper imbalances. Things like sluggish thyroid, blood sugar swings, nutrient deficiencies, or even autoimmunity can quietly simmer in the background—without showing their true face.

Then comes perimenopause. As oestrogen begins to dip and fluctuate, the veil lifts. Suddenly, symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, anxiety, or joint pain feel like they appear “out of nowhere.”

The truth? They were there all along—oestrogen just kept them hidden.

This is why perimenopause can feel like such a wake-up call. It’s not your body “breaking down,” it’s your body finally revealing where it needs more support.

You don’t have to wait until the veil lifts to take action. Supporting your thyroid, hormones, and overall health now can make the transition smoother and more empowering.

It’s not your imagination….
Your vaginal pH is super important for overall reproductive and urinary health!

It fluctuates week to week with changes in hormones, as does your vaginal microbiome.

Depending on what microbes dominate this area, this is a reason why your pH may be more acidic or alkaline…. And potentially driving symptoms!

Vaginal microbiome mapping is a thing…. It’s super cool!!!

If you’re having fluctuating or recurrent vaginal infection symptoms….

The best place to start is working out what guys might be driving this for you and why!!!

3 super easy meals to boost Iodine!

Why Iodine?
We need this for better thyroid function, which in turn helps us to detoxify and metabolise better, and specifically metabolise oestrogen better!

Better thyroid function leads to improved progesterone production too, which in turn also improves hormonal balance!

Are you actually eating enough to lose weight????

I see this happening about a third of the time when women are trying to lose weight. When we actually look at what they’re eating, they’ve been in a calorie deficit for too long.

Under eating happens for a number of reasons like stress, digestive dysfunction, sluggish metabolic turnover… sometimes we don’t even realise we’re not eating enough, and is really an important area to assess.

So many functions are affected when you’ve been in a calorie deficit which begins within a few weeks of eating too little.

Slowed metabolic rate, reduction of thyroid hormones and muscle loss are all areas that take a hit from undereating - whether it’s intentional or unintentional.

The premenstrual headache… 😖

Hormonal shifts like the drop in oestrogen and progesterone right before your period—can be major triggers for premenstrual headaches.

Oestrogen has a role to play in pain regulation and supports serotonin, another pain modulator (& your feel-good brain chemical). When it drops suddenly, your brain becomes more sensitive to pain—hello, headaches and even migraines…

Up to 70% of women who generally suffer migraines, say these symptoms are exacerbated premenstrually.
Oestrogen has a role to play in modulating substance P, a neurotransmitter involved in pain associated with migraine.

There’s a few areas that need attention to help manage headaches for women in this phase that are slightly different for everyone. Good places to start are blood sugar control, potential food sensitivities, supporting hormone metabolism and managing stress!

End of menstruation headaches… are different to premenstrual…
These are most likely due to iron deficiency… so it’s great to check this in bloods and ensure your iron levels are optimal.

I commonly see women who are more oestrogen dominant in comparison to progesterone, having premenstrual headache problems. When we don’t have ample progesterone in the body, we aren’t as well protected from the natural oestrogen drop leading into menstruation.

Don’t continue to struggle. There’s loads that natural medicine has to offer premenstrual headaches & migraines, helping to treat the underlying imbalance and naturally improve whole health!

Can Calcium Help with PMDD?

If you struggle with PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), calcium might be a surprising ally. Research shows that calcium supplementation can significantly reduce mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, and cravings that often flare during the luteal phase of the cycle.

How does it help? Calcium plays a key role in nerve signaling, hormone regulation, and neurotransmitter balance, all of which influence mood and emotional resilience. In fact, studies suggest that women with PMDD may have lower levels of calcium during the second half of their cycle.

There are some caveats for adding in calcium as a supplement that you should speak with a health care practitioner about -

However best food sources are things like:
➡️ Fish with the soft bones EG sardines and salmon
➡️ Leafy greens
➡️ Almonds and sesame seeds
➡️ Fortified plant milk

You’re not alone! PMDD women have a higher incidence of anxiety and depression -
Get in touch if you’re sick of riding the hormonal roller coaster!

Are your hormones taking you for a ride?
Oestrogen metabolism is how your body uses, breaks down, and gets rid of our wilder sister oestrogen ⚡️
Keeping this ol’ girl in check is important for things like mood, energy, periods, and long-term health (like breast and uterine health).
Many things contribute to how well you make oestrogen, use it, and then in turn metabolise it…
Your liver, gut, blood sugar control as well as the level of oestrogen and forms you make are all really important to consider.
Remember, it’s not always that you’re making this huge amount of oestrogen… it’s actually about how well it’s in balance compared to other hormones 🤓
If you’re ready to bring back some hormone harmony -

This might seem like a funny picture…. But far too many women hate being asked this 😔

It is normal to not feel as revved up and on top of your game when you’re due to be getting your period. Your body is doing lots of things at this time - like trying to metabolise shifting hormones, these hormone shifts lead to neurotransmitter instability and prostaglandin release causing gut problems and contributing to inflammation, and more!

However - It’s not normal for you to feel so irritated, snappy, short, ragey or weepy… or let’s face it.. a mixture of all of these… just before your period… and even all week before you’re due.

We hate being asked this…
We don’t want to feel like this…
Let’s start doing something about it 🙂

I love it when my women come back to me even after just 1 month and say… “I just got my period.. I didn’t even realise I was due!”

There can be more severe levels of PMS such as premenstrual-dysphoric disorder or PMDD - this can be for a totally different reason to why we usually experience PMS, so it’s good to get professional help to get you on the right track.
