Episode 9: Understanding Your Hormones: The Truth about HRT, Alcohol & Blood Panels

Tired of being told your changing body is "just normal ageing"? In Episode 9 of Mind and Muscle Beyond 40 podcast, I sit down with NHS GP of over 20yrs and hormone specialist Dr. Katie Armstrong, (founder of Clinic 51), to cut through the midlife noise and give you absolute clarity over your biology. We chat about the fact that you do not have to accept 'normal ageing' or feel like you have to figure your health out alone. Whether it's learning how to effectively advocate for yourself in your appointments, understanding what alcohol is quietly doing to your sleep and anxiety, cutting through the myths on HRT timing, or realizing that small consistent habits beat massive overhauls. The goal of this episode is to show you that understanding your hormones, gives you your power right back!
