Louise shares how her career and personal experience shaped her mission to improve women’s health globally, explaining the roles of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone across the whole body, and clarifying the difference between synthetic and body-identical hormones. They discuss the real risks of not treating hormonal changes, how language around menopause can mislead, and the ways lifestyle, routine and self-care support long-term health. Louise also talks candidly about the challenges of being outspoken, the importance of community and transparency, and why empowering women with clear, evidence-based information matters. It’s a grounded, practical conversation about navigating hormonal health and making informed choices with kindness at every stage of life.Connect with Caroline:Website: ⁠https://www.eatnourishlove.com/enl-autumn-fair/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/enlfairs/This is podcast is edited and published by Creative Content Studio ⁠https://www.creativecontentstudio.co.uk/
