Description

Angela is joined by Dr Milli Raizada who discusses the topic of hormone imbalance, specifically focusing on oestrogen dominance and its impact on women's health. She breaks down the concept of oestrogen dominance and explains that it can occur due to various factors such as excess oestrogen production, impaired oestrogen breakdown, and exposure to oestrogen mimickers in the environment.

Dr. Milli also talks about the importance of understanding the role of hormones in the body and how they can be influenced by lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management, addressing the challenges in diagnosing and treating hormone imbalances within the current medical system, highlighting the need for more research and personalised approaches to care.

Key Takeaways

Oestrogen dominance is a complex issue that can occur through multiple mechanisms, including high oestrogen levels, low progesterone levels, and exposure to xenoestrogens.
Lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, and avoiding toxic substances play a crucial role in hormone balance and overall health.
Perimenopause is a phase characterised by fluctuating and declining oestrogen levels, which can lead to various symptoms such as weight gain, brain fog, and mood changes.
Personalised management plans, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), can be beneficial for women experiencing perimenopausal symptoms, but lifestyle changes should also be incorporated.
Body identical HRT, which includes oestrogen and progesterone, is the recommended approach, while bioidentical HRT is unregulated and lacks robust clinical trials. Progesterone therapy can be individualised based on patient needs and preferences.

Best Moments

"We know oestrogen is broken down and then we look at those oestrogen metabolites... they have been associated and correlated with certain health conditions."

"We need to remember that [the NHS] is an excellent system for people who are presenting who are unwell and not necessarily people who are wanting preventative care."

"Nutrition is the biggest pillar in the chapter in my book... eating unprocessed whole foods is very important."
