Phyto-Estrogens in Menopause with Jen Harrington
11/03/22 • 37 min
Joining us today is Jennifer Harrington, a Naturopath who specialises in helping women through their menopause experience chats to us about Phyto-Estrogens in Menopause - Enhancing Effectiveness for Better Outcomes.
In this episode, Jen discusses:
- What phytoestrogens are
- What role do they play in therapy
- Why phytoestrogens often fail in larger clinical trials
- How to prioritise phytoestrogens in therapy
About Jen:
Jennifer’s interest in natural therapies started when she was diagnosed with PCOS in her early twenties and was told she may struggle to ever have children.
Upon graduating from naturopathy, she moved to Thailand and started working at the famous “Chiva Som International Health Resort”. It was an amazing experience and an opportunity to rub shoulders with the best minds in the industry, both from a traditional and modern medical perspective.
Jennifer returned to Sydney in 2005 to become a mum. She is eternally grateful she found naturopathy and was able to have a child after all.
After working in various Sydney-based clinics and corporate health businesses, Jennifer decided it was time to open her own clinic in 2010. After advertising as a hormone specialist, she found she had more menopausal clients than fertility clients. Her menopausal clients' fast transformations made her rethink her work, and she started Menopause Natural Solutions in 2014. As the years rolled by, she sold her bricks and mortar clinic to free up more time to dedicate herself to researching and creating a better way to help more perimenopausal and menopausal women.

Gut Health and the Triad of Health
Jaxson Wearing and Hilary Conroy are joining us today, both chiropractors and applied kinesiologists. And today, we'll be discussing gut health and well-being through the lens of the triad of health.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What the Triad of Health is
- The importance of treating holistically
- Useful assessment tools to consider
- The physical and emotional aspects of gut health
About Jaxson and Hillary:
Jaxson and Hilary are a husband-and-wife team. Both are Chiropractors and Kinesiologists and co-own Luminous Body, a collaborative health and wellness centre in Sydney's inner west.
They use different healing modalities to assess the patient through the health triad lens. This holistic concept views the body as a balance of health's physical, chemical and emotional aspects and can quickly reveal the underlying cause of symptoms and conditions. They use nutritional medicine and emotional release techniques to create an environment for the body to overcome these underlying conditions.
Jaxson is a proud transgender man, and both Hilary and Jaxson are passionate advocates for accessible health and wellness in the transgender community. Their experiences on this journey have informed their practice as chiropractors and kinesiologists.
