So many women in midlife tell me: “I’m eating healthy, exercising, even on HRT—so why am I still gaining weight?” The truth is, menopause weight isn’t just about hormones. It’s about metabolism, insulin, and how your body is handling food.In this episode, I break down:Hormones & weight basics—why estrogen loss shifts insulin sensitivity and drives belly fat.How GLP-1 peptides work—curbing appetite, smoothing blood sugar, and retraining fat storage.Why peptides are protective—from lowering inflammation and belly fat to supporting the brain, heart, and gut.Access & safety—what to know about prescription-grade compounded peptides.I also share my own story with peptides, why they’ve been transformational, and how I help women use them to finally break free of the midlife weight cycle.Menopause weight is not your fault, and it’s not inevitable. Peptides may be the missing piece you’ve been looking for—helping you feel lighter, stronger, and more resilient in this next season of life.Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/holistic.hormone.specialist/Facebook ; https://www.facebook.com/holistichormonespecialist/Youtube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ic8oHesiBGdd9yGY5n9kA#eleanorduelley #podcast #holistichormone #holistichealth

When women say “my hormones are all over the place,” they often think their body is broken or making too much estrogen. But the real issue usually isn’t production — it’s detox. In this episode, I reveal how digestion drives estrogen detox and why symptoms like PMS, fatigue, mood swings, and breast tenderness often come from poor clearance, not faulty hormones. You’ll learn the three phases of estrogen detox, how constipation and sluggish digestion recycle estrogen back into your body, and why nutrients from food (and not just supplements) are the real key to hormone balance.

In this episode of the Holistic Hormone Podcast, we explore why traditional thyroid testing often falls short of providing a complete picture of thyroid health. Many people find their TSH and T4 levels are "normal," yet they still experience symptoms like fatigue and brain fog. We discuss how focusing solely on these tests can overlook crucial factors like the conversion of T4 to the active hormone T3 and the role of the liver in this process. Additionally, we examine why the conventional medical model is reluctant to order comprehensive thyroid panels, including T3, free T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. These additional tests are vital for uncovering autoimmune thyroid conditions and understanding the body's overall hormonal balance. By considering these aspects, we can address the root causes of thyroid imbalances rather than just managing symptoms with medication. Join us as we dive into the limitations of standard testing and set the stage for holistic strategies to support thyroid health in the next episode.Follow me on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/holistic.hormone.specialist/Visit My Website : https://www.nourishingnutrition.net/
