03. Part 2: Things We Should’ve Learnt in Health Ed
Gut health, healthy fats, brain chemistry & chronic stress.
In this solo episode, we’re continuing the conversation I wish we had growing up — the one that connects the dots between nutrition, hormones, mental health, and body composition.
This is Part 2 of “What we should’ve learnt in health ed,” and today we’re diving into four overlooked (but essential) topics that deeply impact women’s health — and yet, most of us were never taught.
Because the truth is, your mood, metabolism, and energy are not just about willpower or discipline. They’re deeply connected to your gut, your brain, your hormone health — and how safe your body feels.
In this episode, I cover:
How gut health impacts your hormones, mood, and mental clarity
The gut-brain axis explained (and what it has to do with serotonin & estrogen)
Why your brain chemistry literally changes across your cycle
The underrated role of healthy fats in hormone production (and what happens when you don’t get enough)
How chronic stress disrupts metabolism, sleep, recovery & body composition — especially belly fat
Practical ways to support your nervous system, digestion & hormone balance
Key takeaway: Your body is not working against you — it’s trying to protect you. When you learn how to support it instead of stress it out, everything shifts.

02. Part 1: Things We Should’ve Learnt in Health Ed
Cycle health, PMS, birth control & the truth about ovulation.
In this solo episode, I’m diving into the conversation I wish we had in school — the real education we never got about our bodies, hormones, and cycle health.
There’s so much we’re only just learning about how our body works as women — and it’s not our fault. With so little research historically done on women’s health, many of us were handed birth control at 14 without any real explanation, told PMS is normal, and taught that our period is the “main event.” But here’s the thing: it’s not.
And it’s time we reclaimed this knowledge.
This is the first of a two-part series unpacking “What we should’ve learnt in health ed.” In Part 1, I cover:
Why ovulation (not your period) is the true star of the cycle
How to know if you’re ovulating — and why it matters beyond fertility
Why PMS is common, but not normal — and what it’s trying to tell you
The real deal with birth control — suppression vs regulation
How stress, under-eating and overtraining can shut down ovulation
Key takeaway: Your cycle is a vital sign. Your symptoms are not random. And your body is capable of feeling so much more balanced, supported, and understood — when you start tuning in instead of pushing through.
