About

Hey! In today's episode, I'm chatting with the amazing Dr Indra Barathan, a Functional Medicine doctor with her own private practice in the north of England. We talk about a functional medicine approach to menopausal symptoms, which involves getting to the root of what might be causing those symptoms. Spoiler alert - it's not just your hormones! 

Dr Indra shares her 3 step approach, and we discuss a wide range of topics, from nutrition and exercise to sleep and stress. She also shares her take on which supplements are the most helpful for this stage of life, and her take on HRT.

This really is an episode you won't want to miss, so pour yourself a cup of green or herbal tea and have a listen!
