6.4 Dr Kirstey Holland - how society has normalised for women to feel awful

Description

Meet Dr. Kirsty Holland - a powerhouse practitioner who combines Traditional Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy, Functional Medicine, and Environmental Health into one integrated approach.


Her personal story of navigating PCOS, hypothyroidism, and eating disorders as a young woman - only to be offered quick fix mentality approaches like the pill, shaped her mission to support women who fall through the cracks of conventional medicine.


We discuss:

✅ the cognitive dissonance of shutting down young women's hormones while turning up older women's

✅ Why "society has normalized women feeling terrible"

✅ The evolutionary mismatch we're living in today

✅ Dr Kistey's take on GLP-1

✅ and another of our shared passions - why proper hormone education should start in schools.

I particularly LOVED her whole approach taken from her father's wisdom: "You can't afford to buy the cheap one”  and how this applies to health too. Quick fixes break down, requiring sustainable approaches instead.
