When many of us consider women's health we often think only about reproduction and periods but did you know that Female hormones affect every aspect of health including insulin, muscles, and metabolism.
This Love & Guts episode brings forth a bit of a treat. I have two fabulous naturopathic practitioners on the cast with me. Kira Sutherland and Lara Briden. Both of which specialise in women’s health. I have had the privilege of having both women on the cast with me before so please make sure to check out episodes 34 and 37. For those who are not familiar with Kira and Lara, here’s a little bio to whet the tastebuds of whats to come.

Kira train’s and competes in Ironman triathlon as she like to practice what she preaches.
Lara is a naturopathic doctor and the period revolutionary. Lara’s love of science and the natural world has informed the way she works with patients. Lara also has 20 plus years of practise and is dedicated to empowering women to have easy, symptomless periods and to join the worldwide "period revolution."
Her book the Period Repair Manual provides practical period solutions using nutrition, supplements, and natural hormones. Now in its second edition, it's been an underground sensation and has worked to quietly change the lives of tens of thousands of women around the world.
