107 The Long Game with Dr Alison Grimston

06/13/22 • 58 min

Recently I witnessed a menopause practitioner being derogatory about the DUTCH test online.

It shocked me but ultimately everyone is entitled to their opinion.

What I found difficult though was the unwillingness to broaden their perspective and listen to all sides of the story. Any contradictory opinion was simply shut down with a response such as 'I stand by my original opinion.'

This kind of thinking is problematic for reasons you'll learn in today's podcast episode.

Doctor Allie Grimston is an NHS GP, a Functional Medicine Doctor and a spiritual healer. What I love about Dr Allie, is her ability to take a broad view of the whole system in a way that considered and compassionate (something that was lacking in this particular online conversation).

In our conversation we cover:

😊 Coping with the conflict that arises between allopathic medicine and functional medicine.
😊 The restrictions of The National Health Service.
😊 Gluten and Thyroid Health.
😊 Internal stress.
😊 What functional medicine is [root cause work].
😊 The difference between Body Identical HRT and Bio Identical HRT.
😊 Lab testing.
😊 What is the DUTCH test.
😊 What is oestrogen dominance.
😊 Your vagina - it might not be thrush.
😊 The microbiome (not just in the gut).
😊Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome.
😊 Bio Individuality.
😊Energy healing, psychic surgery and spiritual medicine.
So if you're interested in taking a broader view of menopause and you're open to leaning into the bigger picture, this episode is for you.

106 Breaking The Chains of Anxiety

Is your mental health suffering as a result of the HRT shortage?

This shortage is incredibly invalidating as a woman or person who takes it and I've no doubt is rooted in hidden misogyny.

Needless to say, anxiety is on the rise as a result but ....

Now might be a good time to introduce you to a radical idea.
And that's the idea that anxiety is not caused by an oestrogen and progesterone deficiency ALONE.

The causes of anxiety are multi layered and therefore require a variety of approaches to manage successfully, not just HRT.

Anxiety was one of my most debilitating symptoms of peri menopause. I still have my days, but I no longer suffer chronically and one of the main reasons why is because...

I RADICALLY CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVE & DID A LOT OF EMOTIONAL EXCAVATION.

It was a slow process but I had to start somewhere.

I’d like to give you that starting point right now inside this weeks podcast episode:

Breaking The Chains of Anxiety.I’ll show you everything I learnt from being a recovered anxiety sufferer and helping my midlife clients as a Clinical Hypnotherapist.

In this episode I’ll show you how to:
✅ Stop acting from fear (so that you can break the cycle of looping thoughts)

✅ Recognise how and when to do things differently (so that you can feel empowered knowing that you are in control)

✅ Learn what to do to weed out the roots of anxiety

If you feel it’s time to improve your coping skills, embrace uncertainty and mobilise yourself into feeling better, then, come on over.
