SLP 550: Kylie Pinwill on Hormones, Burnout and Redefining Self Love

In this powerful and deeply honest opening episode for the year, Kim is joined by Kylie Pinwill, women’s health nutritionist and founder of My Hormone Hub, to explore the truth about hormones, burnout, perimenopause, and what self love really looks like in a woman’s body and life. Kylie shares her personal journey from practising as a nutritionist in Sydney, to selling everything and travelling Australia with her family after confronting life changing losses, to hitting burnout while rebuilding life and business on the Sunshine Coast. It was through her own health collapse that Kylie uncovered a startling truth: women are not educated or supported through the 10 year hormonal transition leading up to menopause. Together, Kim and Kylie explore the impact of stress on women’s health, why so many women feel dismissed or “gaslit” during this stage of life, and the importance of proactive, holistic care. This episode reframes self love as the daily commitment to nourishment, rest, movement, and boundaries, reminding women that investing in their health is not selfish, it is essential.

Her definition of Self Love is: Honouring myself to get the basics right Links to follow: Website: https://www.myhormonehub.com/ Instagram: @kyliepinwill_hormonehub Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kyliepinwill A gift for our listeners The Perimenopause Survival Kit https://www.myhormonehub.com/the-ultimate-perimenopause-starter-kit Quotes: We had a couple of real life confronting moments that questioned what we are doing. I was building a house, settling three kids into a new school, starting a business and I hit the wall full speed. I had always been fit and energetic suddenly I was dragging myself through life. All the tests came back normal, but I knew something else was going on. Our hormones are all connected. Thyroid, adrenals, sex hormones. There is a whole cascade of hormonal changes over ten years. The basic ways we care for ourselves is self love. We do it for everyone else but not ourselves. Stress can play a huge role and can deplete our bodies. If your body doesn’t feel safe it can’t do the things it is designed to do. There is a lot we can do nutritionally plus supplements like magnesium, vitamin d and fish oils. It is ok to slow down and take a breathe. Consistency and honouring what is important to me. I focus on strength and mobility. If we don’t do it now it is going to be harder later. For me what can I do consistently for longevity. What am I doing now that will help me achieve my goals. The pill is great as a band aid. However it suppresses ovulation and it doesn’t address the underlying issues. Doctors look at normal ranges but we look at optimal ranges. That is the range where you feel well. There is more conversation around HRT. It can be a tool in a toolkit. Now is a good time to have a health check. There are so many ways we can take care of ourselves, be proactive and stay on top of your health. Pay attention to the little taps. Let go of being perfect. It is ok to have that middle ground. Taking care of myself is a me problem, no one’s going to come and rescue me, so it’s up to us. At our retreat women have space to be themselves. Connection with girlfriends is crucial. Other women get you! We have each other’s backs.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.
