Angela discusses the topic of oestrogen and its impact on women's health during perimenopause, focussing on the various symptoms that can arise when oestrogen levels drop, such as hot flashes, brain fog, low mood, irritability, and anxiety.

Angela provides valuable nutritional strategies to support healthy oestrogen levels, including incorporating phytoestrogen-rich foods like nuts, flax seeds, soy, and red clover. Omega-3 fatty acids from sources like oily fish and grass-fed meat are recommended to boost serotonin levels and alleviate mood-related symptoms. Cruciferous vegetables, probiotics, and foods rich in polyphenols are also highlighted for their ability to support gut health and oestrogen metabolism.
